Personal Injury Compensation Claims

If you are a worker who has been injured you may be entitled to work injury claim which is also known as a ‘personal injury claim’. A personal injury claim can assist you financially by reimbursing you for losses and expenses resulting from your injury, but a personal injury claim may also award you for your pain and suffering.

Not all personal injury claims are as a result of a workplace injury. Other personal injury claims may include; being injured in a road accident either as a driver, passenger or pedestrian or if you suffer a slip or fall in a public place you may also be entitled to a personal injury claim for compensation.

Personal injury claims can vary considerably. It is very important to get advice from a personal injury lawyer who will be able to advise you of your legal rights regarding personal injury compensation.

The main elements of a claim include:

  • The severity and permanence of your injury
  • Whether negligence can be clearly established
  • The economic impact of your injury (past and future) for example if you cannot work again you may be compensated for future loss of earnings as well as past losses

Personal injury compensation aims to assist you by putting you back in the financial position you were in before the injury took place. As a rule of thumb whenever there is an injury and someone is at fault and there is an insurance company involved, there are entitlements to claim personal injury compensation.
