Types of Injury

Every year, people suffer a range of illnesses - like food poisoning - injuries or accidents while travelling abroad. If this happens to you and if the incident is not your fault, you may be eligible for Personal Injury Compensation.

You may have gone abroad for all sorts of reasons, so the procedure and evidence needed to make a Personal Injury Compensation claim varies depending on the circumstances - you may have travelled on a family holiday or been working for a foreign employer. However the problem occurred, to make a successful claim you will need to prove that another person was responsible for the personal injury you have suffered. So, it is worth amassing all the evidence you can find whilst in the location where it took place.

You will also need to contact a specialist lawyer in order to establish which process best fits you - which is where SLP comes in. We can offer you a free claims consultation - just call us.

If you have suffered an accident abroad that was not your fault - or you are acting on behalf of someone else - please call us on 0800 917 4644 or +44 (0)20 8420 7950 and speak in confidence to one of our advisors or Email info@slp.uk.com

If you are attacked by an animal it can not only be very painful - it is potentially terrifying. Your resulting trauma occurs immediately, but can last a lifetime.

While such attacks can cause serious physical injuries (and possibly even death for the individual concerned) there can also be sizeable considerable scars, too. Victims of animal attacks have been known to develop a fear of going outside alone - and not just of animals.

Animal attacks can occur anywhere and because the 'object at fault' is an animal rather than a person, the claim process can be complicated and time-consuming.

Despite these complications, it is always better to make the claim than sit and suffer in silence - which is where SLP can help. We have the experience, a sympathetic ear, and can offer you a free claims consultation - just call us.

If you have suffered an animal attack - or you are acting on behalf of someone else - please call us on 0800 917 4644 or +44 (0)20 8420 7950 and speak in confidence to one of our advisors or Email info@slp.uk.com

If you have been injured as a result of a criminal act you may be able to claim compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. You may have been the direct victim of, for example, an assault or your injury may have been sustained when you were attempting to help the police after a crime had been committed. A close relative of a person who died because of injuries can also make a claim.

In any event, you must report the incident to the police at the earliest opportunity and an application must normally be made within two years of the incident. However, in exceptional circumstances, the Authority may be willing to extend this limit. An example would be if you are making a claim for abuse you suffered as a child.

For you to qualify for Faulty Product Compensation, the product in question must have caused injury to you or your family as the result of a fault caused by the retailer or manufacturer. Thousands of people claim for this kind of injury every year.

There are important steps to remember when making this type of claim. The most important is not to procrastinate. If the product that caused your injury was purchased more than 10 years ago, you will not be eligible to file a compensation claim. Additionally, you will have to prove that the goods were in poor condition when you received them.

* Vibration White Finger (also known as hand-arm vibration syndrome and dead finger) is a secondary form of Raynaud's Disease, triggered by continuous use of vibrating hand-held machinery. Use of the term Vibration White Finger has generally been superseded by Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome or HAVS. The symptoms of VWF are the vascular component of HAVS.

HAVS is a widespread recognized industrial disease affecting tens of thousands of workers. It is a disorder that affects the blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and joints, of the hand wrist and arm. Its best known effect is vibration-induced white finger (VWF), a name coined by the Industrial Injury Advisory Council in 1970. Injury can occur at frequencies between 5 and 2000 Hz but the greatest risk is between 5 and 150 Hz.

This is a term used for those events where someone is injured as a result of negligence by a third party. As such, public liability usually occurs in a public place - on roads or footpaths, leisure facilities, shops, offices, parks and so on - anywhere the public may reasonably go. If you have had an accident in a public place and it is not your fault, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

The most common kind of public liability claim is for what is known as a 'slip or trip' as might be caused by slippery floors, obstructions, or poorly maintained paths or roads. In any such case, you will have to show beyond reasonable doubt that the organisation responsible was at fault. This kind of claim applies in any 'third party' place, whether owned by the local authority, another private individual, a public company, or an employer.

Work place accidents are all too common, but fortunately the consequences are often not serious. Yet this does not mean they should be taken lightly. Injuries may result in long-term difficulties that can be much more serious: time off work, financial difficulties, disability, emotional stress, or in extreme cases death.

Employers' responsibility is paramount: legally they must have insurance against staff accidents, treat staff fairly, and are not allowed to dismiss a staff member for making an accident claim. They must ensure that staff are sufficiently trained to carry out their work with minimal personal risk, in the safest possible environment, considering such as the procedures followed, materials and equipment they work with, and the tasks involved.
