Every person is aware in life that there are a number of risks attached to each activity we undertake, but we calculate the likelihood of an accident befalling us – even if just on a subconscious level – before carrying out daily tasks.

Of course it is well known that extreme sports such as snowboarding, BMX biking or bungee jumping carry a higher risk of injury than say walking to the shops to buy a pint of milk, but each year thousands of people are hurt taking part in activities that may not be deemed by most people as dangerous.

For example, there might be astronomical odds of you suffering a shark attack, but did you know that per annum more than 50 people are injured on theme park rides? Even more worryingly, a huge twenty five thousand people suffer a serious accident in the workplace.

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, the organisation in charge of the place you are at or organising the task you have undertaken has a duty of care to ensure your safety and wellbeing. If they fail in this responsibility, you are fully entitled to claim accident compensation against them.

Whether it’s an employer or even the owner of a shop or restaurant, professional accident claims solicitors can offer you comprehensive legal advice on where the exact responsibilities lie for the cause of your injury and whether you could be entitled to make injury claims against that person.

At Claims Solicitors, our team of professionals are on-hand to advise on a range of situations from common personal injury scenarios such as a trip or slip in the workplace to more extraordinary situations. We can offer a thorough explanation regarding your legal entitlement and support your case to maximise your chance of successfully claiming accident compensation.
