You have heard expressions like “where there’s blame there’s a claim” and “had an accident that was not your fault within the last three years?”. What do they really mean?

In UK Law, you are only entitled to compensation for your personal injury, if the accident was caused or contributed to, by someone else.

Road Traffic

In a car crash it is essential to get professional accident claims advice to ensure that you prove your case as there are usually at least two vehicles involved. It is likely that the driver of one car will have caused the incident, and the other driver was not at fault. It is obvious that the driver of a car that collides into the back of another car will be to blame and the driver of a car that pulls out of a side street in front of another car causing the other car to swerve out of the way and collide with a lamp post is also to blame. However you may not realise that the passengers travelling in the car whose driver caused the accident, are able to claim compensation just as easily as the driver or passengers in the car that was not at fault. We often speak to passengers who were not aware that they would receive compensation for their injuries if their driver was to blame.

Accident at Work

We can give you accident claims advice on a wide range of situations varying across the board from minor slips and falls to serious life threatening incidents. There are many different types of accident at work. These can be as catastrophic as being the crew in a tower crane collapse, to everyday incidents such as hurting yourself by lifting objects at work the wrong way. Whatever the type of accident you can only receive compensation for your injuries if you can show that someone else is to blame. Someone falls off a ladder on a building site. If the person was given a ladder and told to work on their own at a height above 6ft, and they fall off and hurt themselves then it is likely that the person they are working for is to blame. However if the person is told that they must not work with a ladder on their own and must always find a partner to support the ladder, if they chose to ignore safety procedures and are injured it is unlikely they will be successful as the person they are working for will not be at fault as they have a safe system of work.

Slipping Accident

When a floor is wet you are much more likely to slip and hurt yourself. If cleaners in your office mop the floor but do not put warning signs up to say the floor is wet and you slip because of this, it is likely the person responsible for those cleaners will be to blame and you will be able to successfully claim compensation. However if the cleaners put their signs up but you choose to ignore them, you are not likely to receive compensation.
Accident claims therefore only succeed if someone else caused the accident. This is usually known as negligence. The person that caused the accident did something they ought to have known was wrong and likely to cause someone to suffer a personal injury.

How do you know if you have a claim?

From the examples above you can see that just by altering the facts slightly in a case, it can completely affect whether or not a person will receive compensation. It is therefore vital to obtain professional accident claims advice and present all of the facts carefully to the other side, thoroughly explaining why the other party is at fault.

As the claimant, it is up to you to prove your case. If the facts are not clear you will not win.
