The following are some examples of the types of accident and injury claims that may give rise to compensation. It is your right to claim compensation if you have been injured or disadvantaged through no fault of your own.

For a list of Common Injuries including symptoms, please see our Common Injuries section.

Road Traffic Accidents
NOT2Blame can assist you if you have been involved in a Car Accident as a driver, motorcyclist, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist. Whiplash injuries and expenses for missing work or medical costs can all be included in your compensation claim. Even if you have sustained an injury in a Road Traffic Accident and the driver of the other vehicle is not insured or you have been injured as a result of a "hit and run" incident, you may still be able to claim compensation. We have specialist solicitors that handle claims that involve injuries sustained in car accidents which means we have a very high success rate with claims of this nature.

Injury at Work
NOT2Blame can assist you if you have been injured at work due to an accident in the workplace. This could be as a result of faulty equipment or insufficient/non training. You may be able to recover compensation from the employers who you were working for at the time the incident or injury occurred. It may be that your injury is a result of continual exposure to incorrect working procedures. You have 3 years from the time that the injury occurred, or the disability is diagnosed, to pursue your right to claim. Accidents in the workplace are a frequent occurrence. This traditionally applies to workers involving industry and construction i.e. falling off scaffolding or being injured by moving parts of machinery. There is now entitlement for so called "white-collar claims" which include issues for stress, bullying, passive smoking and Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). If you are still employed with the employer, don't be afraid of claiming as your employer will be insured against you pursuing such a claim.

Public Liability
NOT2Blame can assist you if you have been injured as a result of slipping, tripping or falling on floors, pavements, steps ramps etc in a public place. It is important to note that in pursuing a claim for damages certain parameters are followed. What is vital to a successful public liability claim is photographic evidence. This means that if you tripped over uneven paving stones in the street or fell into a pothole in the road, you need to take good quality photos of the fault. Ideally, you should place a 50p in the defect then take pictures thus giving an idea of scale. If you are unsure if your incident was caused by the negligence or fault of others then please call our friendly helpline staff who will explain or simply use our callback feature and let us call you.

Criminal Injury
NOT2Blame can assist you to pursue a claim on your behalf if you have been the victim of crime. Crimes of violence usually involve a physical attack on the person, for example assaults, wounding and sexual offences. The injury must have been sustained in Great Britain. The victim has to make the claim within 2 years of the date of the incident, giving rise to the injury. To receive compensation from public funds it is important that the victim should co-operate with the authorities to bring the offender to justice. Please note, unlike other claim categories and due to current legislation, we take our fees from your compensation settlement, which is usually 25%.

Medical Negligence
NOT2Blame can help if you have been injured or suffered temporary or permanent damage as a result of the medical negligence of those in charge of your care and treatment. Medical claims can be complex and personal. Our panel of specialist solicitors treat ALL claims with care and sensitivity and we assign solicitors with specific experience to each claim. Please note, unlike other claim categories and due to current legislation, we take our fees from your compensation settlement.

Motorcycle Accident
Due to the nature of motorcycle accident compensation claims, they tend to involve serious injuries. Most tend to be collisions with cars but some are also due to defects in the road surface. We have specialist solicitors that deal with motorcycle personal injury claims which means they are experienced in claiming compensation from vehicle drivers and local authorities. If you have been involved in a motorbike accident, make sure you contact us as soon as possible so that we can get you the compensation you deserve.

Fatal Accidents
When a family member or loved one passes away in a fatal accident, there is nothing material in this world that can ever replace that person. It is impossible to put a financial amount on the full value of your loss. However, if the loved one was a parent or a spouse, a legal responsibility remains to provide financially and emotionally for the surviving spouse and children. We are ready to assist you in obtaining compensation in your wrongful death claim. We frequently assist clients whose loved ones have died as a result of accidental death, gross negligence, or highway fatality. Whatever your needs, a wrongful death panel solicitor is ready to aggressively negotiate your case to attain the best possible outcome for you and your children.

Asbestos Related Injury
Did you handle asbestos or come into direct contact with asbestos on your job? Did you work in an area where asbestos was handled by others? Are you a family member of someone who worked with asbestos? Did you live within one mile of an asbestos plant, shipyard or other source of asbestos? If so, you may be at risk for developing mesothelioma, a deadly lung cancer caused by inhaling microscopic asbestos fibers. Every year 2,500 men and women are diagnosed with mesothelioma. The risk of mesothelioma actually increases with age, because the tiny asbestos fibers lie hidden in your lungs for decades before it is diagnosed. Let our specialist personal injury solicitors help you claim compensation.

Military Accident
Other than Military Combat, if you are injured during your time in the Military services, you are entitled to Compensation just as you would be with any other employer. The Ministry of Defence has a duty of care towards you which means they should provide adequate training and a suitable working enviroment. We have a number of Specialist Solicitors which solely deal in Military accidents and injuries. Contact us or submit a claim to see how we can help you claim compensation.

Other Accidents
There is no finite list of the the type of accidents for which you are entitled to claim compensation for personal injuries. There is a need to establish that there is fault on another party and that an injury has occurred. If these basic criteria are met then you may be entitled to claim compensation.
