We offer a free consultation at which we will discuss with you the prospects of bringing a successful claim.
Providing we believe that the injuries that you or your loved one suffered are as a result of the fault of someone else or an organisation, we may be able to bring a compensation claim.
During the initial consultation, we will advise you as to the items that you can claim for as part of your compensation. In essence, you can claim for the pain and suffering and psychological injuries you may have suffered (past and future) as a result of the accident.
You can also claim for financial losses; such as loss of earnings and expenses such as the cost of private treatment, travelling expenses, the cost of care etc.
Yes, providing principle reason for the accident and the injuries you suffered were a result of someone else’s negligence.
Contributed to the injuries you suffered, for example not wearing the correct protective clothing in respect of an accident at work, there may be a reduction in the level of compensation you can claim to take the above into account.
At an initial free consultation, we will advise you as to the prospects of your compensation claim being reduced due to “contributory negligence”.
