ACCIDENT CLAIM SOLICITOR

Personal Injury Compensation Claim

Circumstances that determine the outcome of an accident claim will depend on your ability to prove that your injury occurred due to a 3rd party failing in their legal responsibility to you. For a successful personal injury compensation claim it will be necessary to show that your injury is the result of a third party either failing to do something they should have done or doing something they shouldn’t have done. Following any incident causing personal injury you should attempt to collect a body of evidence supporting your contention that a third party has been negligent. An accident claim solicitor will be able to make good use of statements from witnesses, photos, videos, employment records, training records, maintenance records, medical records and any police report.

Accident Claims & 3rd Party Negligence

Our accident claim solicitors represent individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of a third party. In many situations, companies and individuals owe you a duty of care to ensure that you do not suffer from personal injury as a result of their actions. When that duty of care is breached and you are injured as a result, you can bring a claim for compensation for financial losses and for pain and suffering.

Accident Claims & The Duty of Care

The basis for the modern law of negligence was established by the legal case of Donahue vs. Stephenson in 1932 which involved a woman who developed gastro enteritis after she drank a bottle of ginger beer containing a dead snail. The judge who decided the case established the doctrine of "duty of care" by indicating that the company was liable in negligence whether or not the consumer was the actual purchaser of the product.

Defining Duty of Care

Duty of care is a somewhat loosely defined concept. It demands that companies and individuals have a degree of responsibility for the welfare of others in particular circumstances. As examples, a doctor has a duty of care to a patient and a road user has a duty of care to another road user.

The fact that a duty of care is established does not mean that an individual or company is liable for every accident that befalls another person within their scope of influence. Some accidents cannot reasonably be prevented and others are the fault of the person who was injured. In other cases all reasonable precautions may have been taken to prevent an accident but to no avail.

Negligence

A company isn't negligent just because someone was hurt. Rather, negligence means that the company behaved in an unreasonable manner. To be negligent is to fail to take the steps that a reasonable person would have taken in those same circumstances. In order to bring a successful negligence claim, these four elements must be present :-

• establishment of the existence of a duty of care
• proven breach of that duty of care
• there must be damage or injury to be compensated
• the accident must be the cause of the injury
