Compensation For A Work Accident
Your employer has a legal and ethical obligation to ensure workplace hazards have been prevented ahead of time. To do so, there are procedures and methods that they can perform to prevent these hazards from occurring. Common examples may include risk assessments, routine inspections and regular housekeeping. However, if an employer neglects this duty of care, it could cause an accident that could have been avoided. So if you experience an injury of this nature, then the affected individual could have grounds to pursue a claim for compensation.
According to statistics provided by the Health and Safety Executive, over 28.2 million working days were lost between the years 2018 to 2019 in relation to work-related injuries and illnesses. Although there are preventive measures to ensure safety, in the event of an accident at work, citizen’s advice has provided some steps that you could consider. These include
- Seeking Medical Attention If Required
- Take Photographs
- Collect The Details Of Witnesses To Your Accident
- Report The Incident To Your Place Of Place
Compensation For An Injury On Holiday
When avoidable incidents occur on holiday, the experience can be heightened due to the unfamiliar surroundings. In some cases where accidents on holiday occur, the negligent actions of another, such as a travel operator could be at fault.
If you have experienced negligence during a specific component of your packaged holiday, such as the hotel, flight, or excursion, you could make a claim against the tour operator back in the UK. Although an awarded settlement cannot erase the damages and trauma you have suffered, our panel of solicitors could handle a claim for an injury on holiday. They are well versed in the UK and international law and could present a claim against the negligent party. The claims our panel could handle may include;
- Airline Negligence
- Airport Accidents
- Hotel Negligence
- Train-Related Accidents (including international systems such as the Eurostar).
Proving who was liable for the injuries that you sustained on holiday could be difficult. For example, if you were on a package holiday, but you suffered negligence while on a privately booked day trip, your claim will be against the private organisation rather then your UK based tour operator. Therefore, we suggest that you call us using the details contained in this guide, we will be able to provide you with free legal advice.
Criminal Injuries Victim Compensation
If you have been the victim of a violent crime, you may experience an assortment of injuries ranging from physical to psychological.

In scenarios such as this, the victim of a violent crime could have grounds to claim compensation, and our panel of no win no fee solicitors could be of service.

Further Accident Or Injury Claims
In addition to the claims that have been listed above, our panel of solicitors could support those who affected by a slip and fall accident that was caused by negligent care. In those moments where a slip or fall incident occurs, there is the possibility that the affected individual’s health and well-being could be seriously impacted, resulting in implications or damages that could have been potentially been avoided.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) outlined that there are three common causes to a slip or fall, which include;
- Design And Maintenance
- Walkways
- Housekeeping
Incidents of this nature could happen in a variety of places, from supermarkets, shopping centres, restaurants, public parks, and countless other locations. Depending on the area in question, the sense of responsibility to fix hazardous causes will vary. Therefore, if you experienced an injury because of negligence, the liability of that accident could vary from public bodies, such as the government, to private landowners.
Compensation For Mis-Sold Financial Services
If you sought the advice of a financial adviser that resulted in a financial loss, you could be eligible to make a claim for compensation.
When making a financial decision, whether it’s in regards to a loan, mortgage, or a pension, a financial adviser is required by law to provide the customer with all the relevant factors ahead of time. So any additional costs, hidden fees, and alternative options should be outlined before a final decision has been made. A financial adviser cannot persuade, mis inform, or mis sell a financial product, as this could be considered unethical and could affect the customers financially.
So in the event you have experienced a financial loss caused by the mis selling of a financial product, a solicitor from our panel could assist you when making a claim. For more information or to ask any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Claims For Hereford Tenancy Deposit Compensation
When a tenancy agreement comes to an end, the tenant should receive their deposit within the legal time frame of 10 working days from when it was agreed between both. This is on the basis that the tenant has contractually met all of their obligations upon leaving the property and has been approved by the landlord. However, if a landlord fails to return a deposit and supply a justified reason, the tenant could pursue and claim the deposit back from them. Upon making a claim, solicitors from our panel could obtain a settlement that is between one and three times the deposits original figure.
Solicitors from our panel could present a claim if a landlord has failed to;
- Protect The Deposit Throughout The Tenancy’s Duration
- Provide The Tenant With information Regarding The Deposit’s Location/Protection
- Submit The Deposit Into A Government Backed Scheme Within 30 Days/ 1 Month
So if you believe that your landlord has neglected their duty of care, you could have grounds to make a no win no fee claim for compensation. If so, a solicitor from our panel could handle your claim and provide you with legal guidance throughout the claims process.
Compensation For A Rented Home In Disrepair
If a tenant rents a property that has fallen into disrepair, there are certain circumstances where it could cause an injury, illness, or impact the tenant’s domestic bills. In events such as this, the owner of the property should fix the matter before issues of this nature can arise. In most cases, a rented property is owned by one of three individuals, such as a landlord, the city council, or a housing association, and it is within their legal duty to fix disrepair related issues. However, if the owner has been officially notified of the disrepair and has failed to act accordingly, the tenant could have grounds to pursue a claim for compensation.
Common examples of housing disrepair could include;
- Mould/Damp
- Structural Damages/Deflects
- Broken Heating System
- Lack Of Water
In the event of housing disrepair that a landlord has failed to acknowledge, there is a pre-action protocol that has been outlined by Justice.gov that the tenant could consider. The protocol strictly applies to residents situated in England and Wales who live in properties that are rented.
Therefore, if your landlord has neglected their duty of care, causing an injury, illness, or a financial loss that could’ve been averted, then the affected individual could have grounds to pursue a claim for compensation for a home in disrepair. Our panel of no win no fee solicitors covering Hereford could assist you when handling your claim, so to discover more information regarding the services they could provide, please contact our team today.
