Think you’re entitled to an Injury Claim for the Accident you have had?
Psychological injuries could be caused by stress of work, as a result of abuse suffered as a child, or by harassment or discriminatory treatment while work. However, this is by no means an exhaustive list in terms of the kinds of injuries that could be suffered.
There are several accidents in which no one is to blame so without someone to complain to, there can be no injury claim to be made. For example, if you slipped over in your own kitchen while cooking, there’s no one else involved and you can’t legally complain yourself.
If someone deliberately caused you harm, this can be, in the first place, a matter for proper investigation from the police officers. Deliberate act or omissions with intent, and many actions that constitute gross negligence could be prosecuted. For example, on purpose injuries caused by individuals can amount to attempted murder, grievous or actual bodily harm or assault. If a business or organization is at fault in causing someone’s death, this may amount to corporate manslaughter.
In order to make an excellent injury claim there must be one or more parties to be blamed for your injury. If the accident that caused your injury was due to your fault and another person’s negligence, you may also be able to make an injury claim but in a reduced amount. If you were 40% to be blame for a road traffic accident, and the other driver was 60% to blame, you’d be eligible to claim, an amount of injury claim that is equivalent to 40% less than the entirely blameless driver who experienced exactly the same injuries as you.
However, if the other party owe you a duty of care, like an employer to its employee, a council to pedestrian, a supermarket to its consumers, a landlord to tenants, and homeowners owe visitors to their home a duty of care, sometimes even when they are trespassers, then you are eligible for make an injury claim against the person or institution who was at fault.
There’s a limitation period for personal injury claim and it’s usually for three years from the date of the injury. Therefore, it’s always best to seek legal advice at an early stage to ensure the success of your injury claim.d|as your representative|as a representative
