Claiming compensation for lower body injuries
Lower body injuries are a common source of personal no win no fee injury claims. Whether you have fallen over as the result of inadequately paved streets or are the unfortunate victim of a car accident, any injury that affects your mobility could result in a significant amount of compensation, particularly if it necessitates prolonged treatment and a lengthy time off work.
For example, knee injuries have a particularly long recovery period. For some sufferers, simply resting or visits to a physiotherapist will be sufficient, while for others surgery will be required.
Groin injuries are another source of intense discomfort and protracted immobility. Hernias are a frequent problem and are often caused by repetitive strain as a result of lifting in the workplace. It is not uncommon for hernias to develop after a length of time, meaning that the sufferer is not initially aware of the damage.
Employers are bound to provide a high standard of health and safety at work. If your injury was the result of an accident at work then you may well have grounds for a personal injury claim.
A no win no fee agreement is the ideal way to pursue such a claim for compensation.
Because you are unlikely to receive legal aid, no win no fee claims allow the victim to seek compensation without putting a large amount of money in a solicitor’s hands, up front.
Instead, you are not obliged to pay the solicitor anything except, in some cases, expenses, if you lose your claim.
