Other Personal Injury Compensation Claims

Compensation can be claimed for any type of injury, as long as it was sustained during an accident that was the direct result of someone else's negligence. For example, you may be able to claim for injuries resulting from accidents involving sport, animals, faulty products, and injuries sustained on a holiday or tour.

For your personal injury solicitor to put together a successful personal injury compensation claim, there needs to be someone else at fault for the incident, proof of the injuries you sustained due to the accident, as well as evidence that the accident actually took place.

Today's "compensation culture" means more and more people seem to be claiming compensation for the smallest of injuries, or even for injuries that are not the direct result of an accident. Because of this, the courts are becoming stricter in their handling of compensation claims. You should only pursue a claim if you have been involved in an accident that was not your fault, and have suffered personal injury as a result of this accident.
