In the UK around 2.5 million people are involved in accidents every year. This could be the result of a road accident, a trip or fall in a public place or a workplace incident.
Personal Injury claims should not be seen as a social problem but the right of an individual to receive fair compensation for what are often substantial lifestyle changes. This might be the loss of income, permanent disability or a reduced level of independence.
There are often many hidden costs as the result of an injury such as, carers, property alterations and the purchase of mobility aids. Because of these costs it is necessary to have a procedure in place for claiming compensation.
