St Albans is a cathedral city based in Hertfordshire. The city is noted for holding regular theatre productions at venues like the Trestle Arts Base or the Alban Arena. While St Albans is a picturesque place to visit or live in, you could potentially be injured in the area. If you have been injured due to an accident that wasn’t your fault, you could claim personal injury compensation.

First Personal Injury have over twenty years of experience in helping clients based in St Albans with personal injury cases. Some of the types of cases we deal with include:

Medical Negligence Cases

Medical negligence can refer to many different scenarios. For example, if you have been injured due to malpractice during an operation, you could claim. Similarly, if you have suffered harm due to a misdiagnosis, this could also count as medical negligence. The amount of personal injury compensation you could be owed will be determined by looking at the facts of the case and your individual circumstances to see how the incident has affected you.

For further information, please visit our Medical Negligence page.

Accidents at Work

Your employer has a duty of care towards all of their employees to ensure safety in the workplace. Safety in the workplace is protected by ensuring that the relevant health and safety standards are upheld. For example, if you work in a factory where you have to use heavy machinery, your employer should have provided the necessary training for you to do this safely.

 

If your employer has failed to protect you in the workplace, you may be able to claim personal injury compensation. Similarly, if another employee has acted negligently, causing you to suffer an injury or develop a condition, you may be able to claim. To find out how much compensation you might be owed, speak to First Personal Injury today.

Accidents in Public Places

No matter where your accident has occurred, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries. For example, if you have fallen over an uneven curb, you may be able to claim against the local authority who has jurisdiction over that area of pavement. Whether your claim is against a business or the council, First Personal Injury can represent you. Contact our experts at First Personal Injury to determine how much personal injury compensation you may be owed.

Accidents on the Road

The impact of a road traffic accident can be far reaching and serious. You may have to pay financial costs to repair your vehicle and to receive treatment for any injuries you have suffered. You may have to take time off work to aid your recovery.

Therefore, compensation can help to cover these costs and ensure that you do not experience a financial burden after being injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault. First Personal Injury can assess your case and determine how much personal injury compensation you are likely to be owed.

We have more information about Road Traffic Accidents available on our website.

How much compensation am I owed?

Compensation is decided on a case by case basis, taking into account the pain and suffering caused by your injuries and the impact that these injuries have had upon your ability to function/your amenity. For example, if you can no longer complete tasks that you normally could, you may be able to be compensated for this loss of ability.

Compensation also takes financial loss into account. If you have experienced a loss of income due to your injuries, then it may be possible to account for this loss of income through compensation. Similarly, if you have had to pay for treatment or other costs associated with your injuries, it may be possible to claim these costs back through compensation.

To calculate how much compensation you could be owed, use our compensation calculator. However, it is important to remember that these figures are just estimates based upon previous cases. The best way to determine how much compensation you are likely to receive in your case is to speak directly to a personal injury solicitor.

How do I make a claim?

At first, you must provide some initial details about your accident in St Albans – such as the date it occurred and where it happened. After your initial consultation, our solicitors will assess whether you have a valid case and the amount of compensation that you are likely to be owed.

If you have any documents related to the accident, such as medical transcripts, photographs, witness details or notes, you should keep these safe as they could be used as important pieces of evidence in your case.
