Industrial injury in the workplace

Years ago when unions were strong and working conditions a lot less safe than they are now, the shop steward would have been the first port of call to claim compensation for an industrial injury. Since then, more businesses supply employees with safety equipment to use to protect themselves and train workers to lift correctly. They also carry out risk assessments to identify potential accidents before they occur.

Office workers claiming for accidents

More of us work in office or retail shop environments but this does not mean that we are perfectly safe. Electrical equipment, trailing wires or spills can easily occur in these places. If some one is to blame or is negligent, then a claim can often be pursued.

Tariff for loss of body parts

Did you know there is a tariff or body parts price list that sets out values for loss of body parts? For example, loss of both arms in an accident is thought to be worth around £100,000. Would that compensate you?

Medical Negligence Claims

The true cost of claims against hospitals and trusts for medical procedures going wrong is huge. The government reports that £373m was spent on costs and damages settling medical negligence claims in 99/00. Claims almost doubled in number from 1999 to 2000 and who knows what that translates to in value.
