Personal Injury

The term personal injury refers to an injury which is received as a result of faulty goods or services. Personal injury can be received as a result of many different accidents such as road traffic accidents, injury at work, slip, trips or falls and public place accidents. Personal injury accidents can arise out of any situation where another person is negligent and in extreme cases can even result in death.

Each case of personal injury is unique and personal to whoever it involves and if you have suffered a personal injury accident then you may wish to consider aspects such as making a compliant to the person or organisation you believe was responsible for your injuries as well as making a claim for compensation to cover any losses you have suffered as a direct result of your injuries, such as if you are suffering immediate financial problems because of your injury.

Whatever you decide to do regarding your personal injury, such as making a claim for compensation, there are certain actions that you should take including; informing the police in cases of road traffic accidents. If your personal injury resulted from a work place accident you should notify your employer and the accident should be placed in the accident book. Your employer also has a legal obligation to report the accident to the Health and Safety Executive or the local authority environmental department and can be prosecuted if they fail to do so. It is also important that you report the accident to your doctor, even if the injury seems minor. This is important as it stops your personal injury getting worse and also gives you a medical record of your injury in case you need it later on, for example, to be used in a compensation claim. Also, whilst at the scene of the accident, you should try and gather as much evidence surrounding the accident as possible; making a note of the names and addresses of any witnesses.
