Other Accidents
Not all accidents fit into the categories we have identified. The general rule is that if you can show you have been injured in an accident that is someone else’s fault, and it could have been avoided, then you may have a claim.
Examples include
Sporting Injuries
Perhaps in a gym or a health club, or even during contact sports due to reckless or deliberate foul play or bad refereeing. Whether the injury is caused because the premises or equipment are defective, or because the activity you are participating in is not properly supervised, you may have a claim.
Defective Products/Faulty Goods
If you have bought something that results in you sustaining an injury, even though you have used the product or piece of equipment properly, then you may have a claim. It could be anything from a simple cosmetic to DIY equipment or even a piece of furniture. As a consumer, the law protects you and allows you to be compensated.
Even if you have not been injured, you may be entitled to recover damages if the product or service you have purchased is defective.
In this instance, please contact our Disputes team.
Actions Against the Police
Sometimes the police get things wrong. For example, applying too much force when restraining somebody, making a wrongful arrest leading to false imprisonment, or even causing a death in custody due to misconduct. The law protects you from mistreatment by the police and allows you to claim compensation if it has occurred.
Injuries Caused by Animals
If you have been injured by an animal, there are various circumstances in which the law enables you to claim compensation. For example, if you have been bitten by a dangerous dog, injured by a horse or injured by farm animals that have escaped, if it is not your fault, you may have a claim.
These are just a few examples of instances in which you can claim. There are many many more, so it is worth seeking advice to check.
If you do have a claim, we will obtain an interim payment from the responsible party’s insurers to assist with any financial hardship you have been caused and to pay for treatment privately at the earliest opportunity.
