Accidents out of Work

Accidents do happen out of the work place, if you are not wholly at fault for the accident you might be eligible to make a compensation claim for your injuries.

If you have been involved in an accident outside of work and don’t believe it was your fault please follow the steps outlined below and contact us either via our enquiry form or by phoning us, and talking to one of our experienced legal team.

Report – It is important to report your injury and cause of injury to the relative owners/managers of the property or land, this will allow the owners to take action to stop a repeat of your own injury. However it is important you do not sign any documents as this may restrict what action you can take against them.

Evidence – Make sure you take note of how the accident occurred. If there were witnesses, get their names and addresses. If you have a camera or a mobile phone, take photographs which show how the accident was caused.

Treatment – You must seek medical help as soon as possible after the accident. If your injuries are severe, attend hospital or if they are minor, make an appointment with your GP. The sooner you seek treatment, the more chance you have of making a full recovery. This will also provide important evidence of the injuries you sustained.

Contact us – When you have been in an accident your first concern will be receiving treatment for your injuries. At this time you can also be bombarded with promises of recovering compensation. It is important that you chose the right people to advise you on what to do.
