Victims of accidents make compensation claims to take up for the pain, suffering, and financial loss that they have suffered as a result of another person’s negligence. In this process, the last thing a victim of an accident needs is to be burdened by financial concerns. Many people who want to pursue litigation in civil courts have to have the money ready to fund themselves. Most often, this demands having pockets deeper than the average person. The reality is, that litigation can become an expensive process, and it can become even more expensive when a case is complex, when there are delaying tactics employed by the other side, and when there are extreme disputes of fact.

For many people, this can mean that pursuing a lawful compensation claim for the pain and losses suffered due to an accident that they have suffered, is simply too expensive. At Claim Justice, we don’t think this is acceptable, and we want to help everyone to get the justice they deserve. For this reason, we have developed a No Win No Fee package to offer clients wishing to pursue legal claims.

Is There A Time Period For Making A Claim With No Win No Fee Solicitors Dundee?

Generally, you will need to make your personal injury claim within three years of the date of the personal injury. Else you can claim within three years of the date you discover your injuries- whichever date is later. There are some exceptions to this rule.

If the personal injury was the result of criminal activity such as a hit and run, time limits may. There is also a possibility that you could claim on behalf of a deceased person. But the law around this can become complicated. So it is advisable that you speak to a legal professional before you take these steps.

In simple terms, a car accident is any type of incident that involves a car. Car accidents can happen for a variety of reasons and can lead to a variety of accident claims. A car accident could involve a situation where two cars collide with one another, or where a car collides with a motorbike or bicycle, and also include incidents where a pedestrian is injured by a car.

No Win No Fee Solicitors Dundee Handle Work Accident Claims

An accident at work is essentially an unplanned (but often anticipatable) incident that transpires at a workplace because of specific circumstances at the work premises, because of how a job is carried out, or because of how certain equipment is being used. As a result of these circumstances, an accident happens and someone (usually an employee) is injured. The employee is then entitled to claim compensation from the person legally responsible for their injuries, and an accident at work claims process ensues.

You have a right to feel safe at your place of work. While you do your daily job, you do not expect to be involved in an accident at work which has been caused by your employer’s negligence. Your employer has a legal duty make sure your workplace is safe and secure, whether you work in the construction industry, in an office, or in a supermarket. This includes employers undertaking and conducting continuous risk assessments and providing sufficient health and safety training to members of staff.

Some jobs are generally more likely when it comes to the risk of an accident at work, purely because of the nature of the daily tasks that employees are involved in. For this reason, there are specific laws and procedures in place designed to help keep employees safe while they are at their place of work.

Amongst other things, this means that your employer has to ensure the safety of:

  • the physical space at your place of work, including maintaining fire exits and escape routes;
  • the system and processes at your place of work;
  • the plant and equipment at your place of work, including testing any electrical equipment that employees might use at the place of work;
  • the working practices, including first aid and emergency plans; and
  • the protective equipment at your place of work. This includes ensuring that sufficient and reasonable amounts of protective equipment, first aid supplies, and protective uniforms are available to employees.

Unfortunately, not all employers take safety at work seriously and many fail to take sufficient precautions and measures necessary to protect employees from accidents at work. This can result in employees suffering from all kinds of injuries. Injuries caused by accidents at work can have far-reaching effects, influencing an employee’s ability to work properly, and in severe cases resulting in permanent injury or even fatalities.

Your employer will be responsible

Your employer will be legally responsible for any harm that you may suffer at your place of work as a result of another person’s negligence, whether the accident was caused by someone’s positive act or their failure to act. Whether your accident was caused by a mistake of another employee or joke played by one of your co-workers, or our employer’s failure to provide you with proper safety equipment, at the end of the day it is your employer that is legally responsible for your safety at work. You don’t have to worry about a fellow employee having to pay out of their own pocket for a work accident claim that you institute against your employer, even if factually they appear to have caused the incident. This is because of a principle called vicarious liability, which makes all employers liable for the actions of their employees.

If you are worried about the potential financial implications that your accident at work claim may have on your employer, or about the status of your employment relationship once you have made a claim, you need not worry any longer. Your employer has an employer’s liability insurance to cover any accident at work claims made against them. Every employer is legally required to take out these employers’ liability insurance, to ensure that they are able to pay compensation for any accidents at work without it affecting the business financially.

No Win No Fee Solicitors Dundee Handle Public Place Accident Claims

Claim Justice has many years of experience in handling personal injury claims which have happened in a wide range of public places, including theme parks, shopping centers, restaurants, pubs and bars, parks, schools, libraries, theatres, and music concerts.

No Win No Fee Solicitors Dundee

If you suffer an injury while you were in a public place due to someone’s fault, you can claim compensation. Councils, shop owners, businesses and public bodies all have a duty to the public, to take reasonable measures to prevent people from being injured on the premises under their control. If you suffer injuries while you were on a council owned property, such as a public walkway or a library, and the accident could have been prevented by the authority in some way, then you may be able to make a compensation claim against the local authority. When injuries happen in public spaces, the accident often involves a slip or a trip on a pavement. It means that the local council will be responsible for your compensation claim if we can prove their fault. It could also be due to a lack of action, that causes your accident.

When instituting a claim against a council for failing to maintain a road or sidewalk, our No Win No Fee solicitors Dundee will, therefore, need to have the means to prove that the local council was negligent in their duty to the public by failing to keep the pavement safe. This involves proving that, based on the circumstances of the case, it was not reasonable for the local council to let the public space to fall into a state of disrepair that it could result in a person (you or a loved one) being injured.
