The most frequent question we recieve at NOT2Blame is whether or not a client is able to make a claim. The simple answer is if the accident or personal injury happened within the last 3 years and you were not to blame and you are resident in the United Kingdom, you are entitled by law to make a claim for compensation. This means that If you have suffered personal injury in a car accident, been a passenger in a car which has had a crash, involved in a work accident or in a trip, slip or fall that was somebody else's fault, we can help you receive a compensation payout. This means that you get 100%* of what you are entitled to. We don't take our fee from your payout**, this is handled separately.
Proof is often the critical factor in personal injury compensation claims. It may be easy to prove that you are injured, but proving that another person (or organisation) was legally responsible and that they failed in that responsibility, is not always as straightforward as it may seem.

It is the responsibility of the person making the claim to prove that the person who they feel is to blame for the accident were negligent. To determine if you have a valid compensation claim, you need to look at how someone failed in their 'Duty of care'. This can be defined as a legal responsibility placed on a person or organisation
to do everything reasonably practicable to protect others from harm. For
example, a car driver has a duty of care to other road users. An employer has a
duty of care to its staff. A retailer has a duty of care to the people who visit
its stores. A bus company has a duty of care to maintain it's bus shelters. The council has a duty of care to maintain the pavement and fill holes in the road. A hospital has a duty of care to it's patients to prevent medical negligence. A dentist has a duty of care to ensure that their patient receives proper treatment, in the proper manner. If they fail in this duty, and the person they are treating suffers in any way as a result, then the victim has a potential claim. The list is endless.
Evidence that can be used to prove negligence may include:
Witness statements
Medical records
Employment records
Photographic and video evidence
Police reports
