Wells is a picturesque city located in Somerset, on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills. Wells is noted for being the filming location for many popular films such as The Gathering (2003) and Hot Fuzz (2007). However, you could potentially be injured while in the city. If you have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault while in Wells, you may be able to claim compensation.

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

Medical Negligence Cases

If you have been harmed due to medical negligence, you may be able to claim compensation. Medical negligence refers to many different scenarios in which harm can be caused, such as malpractice during surgery. Another example of medical negligence would be a medical misdiagnosis which results in harm to the patient, perhaps due to them not receiving the treatment they need.

If you have been injured or your condition has worsened due to medical negligence, you may be able to claim compensation. It doesn’t matter how minor or severe you might think your case is, you deserve to claim compensation if you wish.

For further information, please visit our Medical Negligence page.

Accidents at Work

Your employer has a duty to ensure your safety while you are at work, whether you work in an office or on a construction site. This duty of care includes upholding any relevant health and safety standards, such as the provision of personal protective equipment and training. For example, if you work in a warehouse and your job role includes lifting heavy items, your employer should have provided manual handling training.

The best results with the client’s best interests at the centre of the claim.

If your employer has failed to protect you in the workplace and you have been injured as a result, you may be able to claim compensation. If another employee’s negligent actions have caused you to suffer an injury, you may also be able to claim compensation.

Accidents in Public Places

You may be eligible to claim compensation if you have been injured in a public place, whether that was a café, music venue or a supermarket. There are certain health and safety regulations that apply to buildings and public spaces, such as ensuring that surfaces are not uneven. Therefore, if you had hypothetically fallen over due to tripping on an uneven curb, you could potentially claim compensation. Whether your claim is against a business or the council, First Personal Injury are here to represent you.

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 Wells – 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.
