Thousands of accidents occur every day in homes, workplaces, on the road and in the street. Some of these accidents are simply the result of unlucky circumstances however most are caused by the negligence of another person or organisation. The British legal system enables victims of accidents that are somebody else’s fault to employ accident compensation solicitors to claim damages for the physical pain and mental suffering in addition to the financial losses and expenses.

• 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.
