First Personal Injury have over twenty years of experience in helping clients based in Winchester 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 in which harm is caused to a patient. For example, you could have experienced medical negligence if you are unnecessarily injured during a medical procedure or if you receive a misdiagnosis. If you have been harmed as a result of medical negligence, you may be able to claim compensation. To find out how much compensation you may be eligible to claim, contact First Personal Injury.

For further information, please visit our Medical Negligence page.

Accidents at Work

If you have been injured at work, you may be able to claim compensation. Your employer has a duty of care towards all of their employees to ensure safety in the workplace. To ensure safety, your employer must follow any health and safety guidelines that are relevant to your industry. For example, if you work on a construction site, your employer should provide you with a hard hat to wear while you work.

 

Training is also usually a health and safety requirement for most job roles. If you believe that your employer has failed to keep you safe in the workplace and this has resulted in you being injured or developing a condition, you may be able to claim compensation. Similarly, if another employee has acted negligently and this has caused you to be injured, you may be able to claim compensation.

Accidents in Public Places

Accidents can happen in any location, whether you were eating at a restaurant or just walking down the street. For example, if you are injured due to falling over an uneven curb, you could potentially claim compensation against the authority who has jurisdiction over that area of pavement.

If you have been injured in a restaurant, café, museum or another public location you could potentially claim compensation against the business if they have failed to keep you safe. First Personal Injury can assess your case today and determine how much compensation you are likely to be owed.

Accidents on the Road

If you have been injured in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. There are many different injury types that you could suffer due to a road traffic accident, such as whiplash or broken bones. It doesn’t matter how serious or minor you believe your injuries to be, if the accident was not your fault, you deserve to claim compensation.

To find out how much compensation you may be able to claim, contact First Personal Injury today. Compensation can help ensure that you do not suffer any financial pressure while seeking recovery treatment or therapy.

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 Winchester – 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.
