Medical Negligence Cases In Grays
Whenever you go to the doctors, or if you or a loved one needs treatment from a hospital, you have a reasonable expectation that you will be treated with professionalism, that you will be looked after to the best of the health workers abilities and that staff will uphold their duty of care. Most of the time we can all rely upon this expectation. However, in a small minority of cases this does not happen.
In some cases, people can be harmed by the negligence of the doctors, nurses and hospital staff looking after them. If tests are not performed correctly, doctors and nurses are not diligent enough or if proper protocol is neglected, patient’s can be harmed instead of helped by the health service.
If paperwork is lost or misread, if vital signs are not monitored or if proper hygiene is not studiously maintained patient’s well-being can be put in serious danger.

Workplace Accident And Injury Claims
Employers can be liable for preventable injuries or illnesses that their employees have suffered due to a lack of health and safety protections. As outlined by various articles of legislation, employers must provide staff with:
- Personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Appropriate training
- Risk assessments
- Functional and safe equipment/machinery
Failure to do so can lead to workplace injuries, ranging from cuts and pulled muscles to burns and bone fractures.
Moreover, serious workplace accidents or industrial diseases can leave employees suffering life long injuries. For example, long term exposure to workplace hazards without appropriate protection can lead to life changing issues like hearing loss, hand arm vibration syndrome (sometimes abbreviated to ‘HAVS’) and respiratory problems. You may have grounds to claim for workplace compensation if you have suffered from work-related stress in connected to your workplace environment.
No Win No Fee Claims For An Accident On Holiday
If you injure yourself while on holiday abroad due to negligence, our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Grays in Essex can help you claim compensation, even if your claim is against a foreign based business, such as a hotel. We may be able to provide you with a solicitor from our panel who has qualifications for carrying out claims in the legal system of that country. If you suffered an accident on holiday while travelling under a package deal, then the claim can simply be made against the travel company responsible for your holiday; providing the accident was negligent and occurred on a service included in the package holiday.
If you have been affected by a flight delay at the airport then you could also be entitled to compensation if the flight is delayed by three hours or more, read more information on flight delay compensation on the Citizens Advice Bureau website.
Criminal Victim Injury Compensation Claims
Victims of violent crime can apply for criminal injury victim compensation for any physical injury or psychological harm they may have suffered as a result of a criminal act. For example, if you have been the victim of or have witnessed a stabbing in Grays, then you could be entitled to compensation.
Criminal injury victim compensation is not necessarily tied to the outcome of a criminal trial, so if the perpetrator has not been caught or not yet found guilty it will not affect your eligibility to receive compensation. Criminal injury compensation is handled by CICA, the government’s Criminal Injury Compensation Authority.
This type of compensation can be awarded for sexual assault and abuse cases that happened decades ago. The usual two year time limit on making criminal injury victim compensation claims through the CICA can be lifted for people who were the victims of rape or sexual abuse, but felt too uncomfortable to come forward about their experiences.
Other Examples Of Accident Claims
Our panel of solicitors covering Grays, Essex could help you win compensation in a variety of other different circumstances in which you may be injured in a public place due to the negligence of a third party.
Private businesses can be liable for injuries that people suffer on their property due to the negligence of their staff. For example, if you suffer an injury or develop an infection from a tattoo, it could be valid grounds for a compensation claim if it was the result of a failure to follow hygiene standards by the tattooist. You could also receive compensation if you have suffered a preventable injury while playing sports, such as football or horse riding. You could receive compensation for avoidable injuries suffered while using public transport. However, in order to make a claim for a sport-related injury, the harm must have come as a result of ‘abnormal circumstances’. This could be for unmaintained fields and equipment.
Furthermore, some public place personal injury claims can also relate to injuries suffered as a result of tripping or slipping over. In such cases, businesses and local authorities can be liable for not keeping their premises safe from tripping hazards. Whereas the local council could be liable for people injuring themselves on badly maintained roads and pavements, i.e. in falls caused by potholes or ice. There may be a specific criteria which applies to public place injuries against local bodies. For more information about this, call us today.
Mis Selling Compensation Claims
Financial mis-selling is any instance in which you may have been sold a financial product, such as a pensions scheme, PPI or stock market investments, without being allowed to make a well informed or well considered decision by your bank or your financial advisor. This could include being offered a product without warnings of potential financial risks, without being informed of alternative options particularly ones which might be more appropriate for your situation. It may also include being made to feel pressured into buying a particular product, not feeling as though you have been given enough time to decide before buying a product and not being asked to provide all information relevant to your health and financial situation, i.e whether or not you have a history of drinking or smoking. Financial mis-selling can cause people to lose a lot of money.
Withheld Or Unprotected Tenancy Deposit Claims
Our panel of no win no fee solicitors can help tenants make claims against their landlords for a withheld or unprotected tenancy deposit. If a landlord leaves a tenancy deposit unprotected, that is if they do not have the deposit in an accredited Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) within 30 days of payment or if there is no assurance that it will be returned at the end of the tenancy then a claim maybe possible.
Landlords who fail to do so can be ordered by a court to pay back the deposit and pay compensation of up to three times the value of the deposit. Failure to return the full value of a tenancy deposit is also grounds for a no win no fee claim. There are more details to landlord/tenant deposit dispute claims, including how a lost or withheld deposit affects your landlord’s right to evict you. You can read about that here on Shelter’s website.
Grays Rental Housing Disrepair Claims
If you have been living in a rented flat or house that is in a state of disrepair and there is a chance that your health has been at risk, then your landlord could be held liable for it. Landlords and other third parties which provide rented housing, such as councils and housing associations, have certain obligations to keep their tenants’ homes in good condition.
A landlord is legally obliged to ensure boilers and gas heaters are kept in working order. It is important that appliances are being fixed or replaced, alongside floors, windows and the structures of the house being maintained. Issues which could lead to mould or damp need to be dealt with as soon as possible.
A housing disrepair can put your health at risk in a number of ways, ranging from injuries from falling over on badly maintained flooring to the risk of death from gas leaks or electrocution. For more information on the housing disrepair legal procedure you can speak with an advisor from our expert team.
