Will I qualify for a personal injury claim?

If you’re nursing a fractured bone, struggling to overcome depression, anxiety or insomnia due to work-induced stress, recovering from a surgical procedure, or managing an illness contracted at work, think very carefully. If your predicament is the result of someone else’s action or negligence, you may well be entitled to consider personal injury claims.

Take injuries sustained whilst out walking as an example. If you fall as a result of your own carelessness, such as tripping over something that you know is there like a kerb, you may just have to grin and bear it. But if you trip or slip over something that ought not to have been there – such as a liquid spill on a supermarket floor or a jutting paving stone on the pavement – you have a case. Similarly, if you get a sports injury during the inevitable cut and thrust of a football match, you’ll just have to rest up until the injury heals. But if your injury was sustained by the deliberate action of another player, you should be considering approaching a no win no fee lawyer. Or another scenario: if you break your nose in a road traffic accident because you weren’t wearing a seatbelt, you could be on dodgy ground as far as making accident claims is concerned. But if another vehicle hits yours from behind and you sustain a whiplash injury, you ought to be making a car accident claim and seeking whiplash compensation.

If it’s not your fault, your injury should lead you to the expert advice of a no win no fee personal injury lawyer without delay.
