PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS’ SUCCESSFUL ACCIDENT AT WORK CLAIMS
March 24th, 2010 by adminPublished in Truckstop News April 2010.Â
In this month’s issue Steven Hinchliffe of the specialist Personal Injury Compensation firm Hinchliffes Solicitors (see their advert on the front page) will consider more “PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS’ SUCCESSFUL ACCIDENT AT WORK CLAIMS”.
Continuing his review of successfully completed accident injury claims, Steven Hinchliffe looks at various situations experienced by readers of Truckstop News that ultimately lead to an award of personal injury compensation.
All of the accident victims mentioned in this series of articles are clients of my firm, Hinchliffes Solicitors. They have kindly given their permission for the disclosure of their details, and in particular of their real life experiences of incidents resulting in personal injury claims, and the steps taken to make a successful accident compensation claim. All of these clients contacted my firm after seeing our details in Truckstop News – and some of the names referred to may be familiar to you.
In this article I highlight 2 very different accidents in the working environment and examine the outcome for each individual. As with the previous articles in this series, the common trend remains the significant effect on each person’s life. Both of my clients sustained significant injuries and suffered financial losses as a result, including lost earnings. Although using the established legal processes for making personal injury claims as a means of redress cannot truly compensate for the trauma and inconvenience suffered, in appropriate cases it can assist in requiring the guilty party to provide medical treatment and rehabilitation, in addition to financial relief by way of awards of compensation. As previously stressed, the fundamental aim of all accident claims is to try and return the injured party to the position that he or she would otherwise have been in had the accident not happened.
