Common Types of Injury Claims

Irwin Mitchell handles a wide range of injury claims, including many of the common claims listed below. This list is far from exhaustive however and so the best way to find out if you could claim compensation for your injuries is to contact us today.

• Accidents in a Public Place
  If you have suffered an injury as a result of trip or fall in a public place, then you may be entitled to make an injury claim. Local councils or land owners are responsible for maintaining their roads, pavements and other walkways and if they have failed to maintain these to a sufficient standard, then you may be able to press for an injury claim.
  

• Road Traffic Accidents
  All drivers are required by law to have insurance which covers, at the very minimum, damage or injury to a third party. Being involved in a road traffic accident which was caused by the negligence of a third party can be a painful, traumatic and financially difficult experience. This is why Irwin Mitchell could help you make an injury claim to compensate you for any physical or mental injuries as well as any costs / loss or earnings suffered by you as a result of a third party’s negligence. We could help to secure a fair compensation package, even if the third party is not fully insured.
  

• Accidents at Work
  Many people are understandably apprehensive about making an injury claim against their employer, which is why Irwin Mitchell’s team of experts are here to help you through the process. We can represent your injury claim on a wide range of issues, from slips, trips and falls, chemical-based injuries / illnesses and lifting injuries. To pursue an injury claim for an accident at work, you will need to prove that your employer’s negligence led to your injuries. It is your responsibility to make your employer aware of an accident at work although the actions of your colleagues, should they cause or be linked to the cause of an accident, are also the responsibility of your employer.
  

• Office Related Injuries and Illnesses
  We can advise on a wide range office-based injury claims, including RSI (repetitive strain injury), carpel tunnel syndrome and acoustic shock. In many cases, where you can prove that your employer have been negligent, you could make a claim for an injury suffered many years previously.
