Road Traffic Accidents
Road traffic accidents occur every day in the UK. If you have been the victim of an accident on the road for which you aren’t to blame, Irwin Mitchell’s personal injury solicitors could help you gain compensation. Whiplash is the most common type of injury from a road traffic accident, and if you have recently been in a crash you should seek medical advice from your GP as soon as any symptoms of pain or discomfort manifest.
Injuries sustained in a public place
If the negligence of a third party results in you sustaining an injury in a public place, or on private land, you may have grounds to bring a case against the person or body responsible. Tripping and falling on pavements or roads is one of the most common types of personal injury, and usually it is the local council or authority that is responsible for their upkeep. If it can be proven that they have failed in their responsibilities to maintain the pavement or road, our personal injury lawyers will help you claim a fair compensation package.
