Accidents at Work

Whether you work in an office or on a construction site, your employer has a duty of care to keep you safe. To ensure your safety in the workplace, your employer should uphold any health and safety standards that are relevant to your industry. For example, if your job involves lifting and moving heavy items, your employer should provide adequate manual handling training.

If your employer has failed to keep you safe in the workplace and you have been injured/have developed a condition as a result, you could be eligible to claim. Similarly, if another employee’s negligent behaviour caused you to be injured or to develop a condition, you could potentially claim compensation.

You could potentially be injured in a slip, trip and fall accident while in a supermarket or you could be injured while eating at a restaurant.

Accidents on the Road

If you have been injured in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you may want to claim compensation. The amount of compensation you can claim will be dependent upon the injuries that you have suffered, as well as any financial damages that have been incurred. Therefore, compensation can be instrumental in ensuring that you do not experience financial hardship after being involved in a road traffic accident. To find out how much compensation you may be owed, speak to First Personal Injury directly.

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 Truro – 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.
