Can I claim for compensation?
Accidents do happen, and no-one can claim
compensation
where nobody is at fault, even when the injuries are severe.
In some cases, however, the injury will be a result of someone else’s negligence. An
injury lawyer
is best placed to advise you as to whether you can make a claim for your injury and we would suggest that you discuss your situation in detail with them. In some cases, your actions may have contributed to your injury – this is particularly common in road traffic cases where each driver may be partly responsibile for the collision. In such cases, you may still be able to claim compensation, but your compensation may be reduced.
We believe that where you have been injured due to the fault of another, you deserve to be properly compensated. Under no circumstances, however, will we support fraudulent or spurious claims.
