Accident and Disease Type Claims
 As personal injury compensation specialists, Hinchliffes Solicitors can represent adults and children who have been injured in almost any type of accident - on the road (as a driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian), at work, in a public place, on holiday, as a result of defective products, as a result of slipping or tripping - and also those who have become ill through industrial diseases. Whatever the circumstances of your accident or illness, we will consider whether we can help you to make a claim for compensation.
Animal owners and keepers have a duty to ensure that their animals do not cause injuries. If you have been injured by an animal you may need to show that it was known the animal had a history of aggression and therefore greater care was required to keep them under control. Guard dogs should be with an experienced handler and there must be visible warning notices. Animals most likely to cause injuries are:-
- Dogs
- Horses
- Ferrets
- Cows
- Bulls
For a claim to succeed your injury (or illness) must have been caused by someone else through their negligent behaviour or lack of action. Even if you were partly to blame, you may still be able to make a claim, but your compensation could be reduced to reflect your own fault or negligence.
Usually, the claim must be made within 3 years of the date of the accident (or the date you first become aware your illness was work related) and most claims are settled within 9 to 12 months. More complex claims, such as fatal accidents, psychiatric injuries and industrial disease cases, can take longer to resolve.
Once you have given us the details, we will consider your claim and let you know if we can help you. We will contact you as soon as possible, often on the day you get in touch.
