Road Traffic Accidents cause
more injuries than all other types of accident put together.
Every day there are approximately 10 people killed on
the roads and thousands of collisions result in attendances
at A&E for hundreds of people. Most collisions are caused
by car drivers negligence in that the majority of cases
involve the driver failing to take care for the safety
of other road users which results in injuries to drivers
and riders, passengers and pedestrians. RTA's may be caused
by other factors such as poor maintenance of roads and
vehicles.

Trips
and Slips in public and private places often result
in successful damages claims. In general terms an owner
or occupier or a local authority or highway authority
must take reasonable care for the safety of people who
use property for which they have responsibility. If they
fail to adequately clean or maintain the property resulting
in injury them they may be held to negligent and be liable
to pay damages for personal injury. This part of the law
can be complex and technical especially as there exist
'statutory defences' and advice should always be sought
from accident compensation solicitors in the case
of a tripping or slipping claim.

Accidents
at work are becoming less frequent, due to stricter
safety standards being enforced. There are now numerous
statutes in force both from the UK Parliament and from
the EU to protect employees however some companies neglect
their responsibilities, sometimes resulting in tragic
consequences. In many cases it is not necessary to prove
negligence due to the doctrine of 'strict liability' and
if an employee is injured it is very difficult for an
employer to escape his liability to pay damages. Sometimes
injuries occur in the workplace because a fellow employee
acted foolishly, for example by spilling water, causing
an employee to slip or fall. In these cases compensation
can be claimed from the company. It is important to log
all accidents in an accident book at work, immediately
after they happen. If a claim is brought forward, then
this is used as evidence for the case.
In all of these situations even if you
were partly to blame due to your own mistake then it may
still be possible to claim reduced compensation under the
doctrine of 'contributory negligence' and legal advice should
be sought in almost every case involving personal injury.
