Who Can Use Our No Win No Fee Solicitors in London?

A personal injury claim can be launched by anyone who has been involved in an accident and has suffered injuries as a result of that accident. The accident must have been caused by the negligence of another person or organisation.

No Win No Fee Solicitors London

However, there are many cases where the person who has been injured is also partially responsible for the accident and the injuries they received.

This is known as contributory negligence. In these cases, it may still be possible to recover compensation for your injuries, although the no win no fee compensation would reflect the fact that you contributed to the accident.

What Accidents can be Claimed for?

We have a wide range of experience across all different types of accident claims and no matter what kind of accident you have been involved in, we can help you.

  • Our claims expertise includes:
  • Car crash and motorbike accidents
  • Road traffic accidents
  • Accidents at work, including office accidents and construction site accidents
  • Gym, horse riding and sport accidents
  • Head injuries
  • Back, shoulder and spinal injuries
  • Slips, trips and falls

How Much Can Be Claimed?

If you have been involved in an accident, you will likely be keen to know how much compensation you could be entitled to.

This can be a tricky question to answer as there are so many factors that contribute to the level of compensation you could receive.

The main factors that affect compensation levels are:

The severity of the injuries. The more serious the injuries, the more no win no fee compensation you will likely to entitled to.

The impact the injuries have had on your life. Some people are lucky to recover from their injuries quickly, but many injuries can have long lasting effects and can have a serious impact upon the life of the sufferer, such as mobility difficulties or disabilities.

If the injured person needs additional support or care at home as a result of their injuries, this will likely be reflected in the level of compensation that the case settles at.

No Win No Fee Solicitors for London

We are a dedicated team of accident claims specialists for London families. We do all we can to help ensure that our clients receive the maximum amount of compensation that is available to them.

Contact us today to find out how much you could claim.

We are lucky enough to have some great partnerships with many local and national businesses here in the UK, many of whom who have spread the word about our website, and the initiatives that we are trying to push.

Kima Office Furniture is one such company where one of our friends Christopher has a large involvement, and they were generous enough to donate some new white office furniture to us this month to help us in kitting out our new office space.

As a company they offer discounts and deals to many charitable organisations around the UK, and on many occasions will sell white office furniture, white office desks, and drawers to charities at cost, with no profit on top.

When we told them we were moving our small office to a new premises, they with absolutely no encouragement from our side, offered to give us two brand new shiny white office desks with drawers to furnish our new workplace. We didn’t ask for this, but the offer was gratefully received, as everything we do is for non-profit and we run as side projects.

As our way of saying thanks, we promised that would highlight them on our blog and website, in order to help raise a little awareness of their business, which we think was a more than fair trade off.

So with that in mind, here’s a short press release that they gave us to help with that promotion. We’ve also included some images and photos of some of their modern white office furniture so you can get a better idea of what they are all about. Here’s that press release from them:

Kima Office Furniture Launch Their White Office Furniture Collections

Kima are proud to announce this week the launch of a brand new range of white office desks, white office drawers, and more for the UK market. As a pure online retailer we are able to offer massive discounts to any UK business that wishes to buy new items for a refurbishment, new premises, or expansion.

We help many different companies including large corporations, call centres, small businesses, as well as home office users. To find out more about us please visit our website to see the full range of modern collections that we have in stock.

Discounts Now Available to Charities

As well as selling to the end consumer and UK businesses we also offer discounts and deals to those working in the charitable sector. If you work for or run a charity, and would like to find out how we can help you. Simply explore our website, have a think about what type of desk, pedestals, or drawers you would like, then call us to discuss a quote. In many cases we can supply at cost meaning you can get the lowest possible online price.

For all other businesses looking to buy white office drawers and desks, we are very confident that the prices you see on our website will be the lowest that you find anywhere. The reason we can offer this type of promise is due to the fact that we price check each week to ensure that we are still the lowest compared to the competition.

Free Delivery Available to All Mainland UK Addresses

In addition to low prices, we go one step further and offer free delivery to any business or end consumer who has a postal address residing in mainland UK. So that includes free postage and packaging to any address in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

A great deal and incentive to buy we are sure that you will agree.

Specialists in Modern and Clean Looking Desks

In terms of the types of office furniture we sell, we do specialise in modern white collections, but can also supply more traditional colours such as beech, oak, maple, and walnut. We also range only items that are designed and manufactured in the UK from the best companies in the industry.

The office desks and tables we sell have all passed the latest British and European safety standards, as well as being tested to FIRA standards, which is the default high standard for UK furniture manufacturers.

In terms of our levels of customer service, we offer installation if required, but you will need to contact to arrange a quote, and have a company-wide ethos of customer satisfaction guaranteed.

When you shop online at the Kima Office Furniture website your personal and financial details will not be compromised. This is because we run our eCommerce website on one of the world’s leading online retailer platforms, and your details are encrypted, as well as the website being run on secure HTTPS.

Each and every week we release new desks, chairs, and tables for sale on our website. For example this week we placed a new category on our website for reception area items. The products in this category include sofas and reception areas, and make for a great impression for both clients, customers, as well as your employees.

In terms of offering even more value to our customers, anybody who buys office furniture from us will also benefit from a follow-up email after purchase, offering them a further discount on additional items, and in some cases a promotional code that they can use to make even more savings.

So to conclude, if you run a business or company in the UK, or perhaps even work from a home office as a satellite worker, then visit Kima today to find out how we can help you this year in making the best from the space available in your premises.

We are confident that you find a better online retailer of desks, bench desks, chairs, or tables anywhere in the UK. And if you do find cheaper prices anywhere online we would encourage to contact us so that we can actually beat that price for you. That’s our commitment to you, and one which we are very proud that we are able to keep time after time.

Our website now accepts all major credit cards, PayPal, ApplePay, and telephone orders.

The Native Child Alliance would like to wish all our current readers and contributors a very happy Christmas and New Year. Whilst this should be a time whereby we all take the time to celebrate and spend time with our family, it can also be a time of year where accidents can be more frequent – most of time due to alcohol consumption.

We would urge everybody who reads this post to drive safely this Christmas, and to be aware of the potential accidents that can also happen at home in this time.

But that’s enough of the doom-mongering, just have a great time and we hope to be talking more with you in the New Year!

As before, if you would like to sponsor us, or contribute something then please get in touch with us and send us a brief!

Occasionally we accept some form of sponsored content from selected partners operating in industries that can benefit the safety of children. That sometimes includes accident claims companies who specialise in helping families who have been involved in a car crash and require justice and compensation. No matter how safe you make your car, accident can still happen.

The following blog post or advertorial is from The Accident Claims web: if you have been involved in a car crash and would like to explore the options available to you for compensation then please visit their car accident claims page on their company website.

Car Accident Claims in the Sheffield Area

If you were involved in a car accident in the last three years that wasn’t your fault, you could be owed compensation.

Britain’s roads get busier every year, so it’s important that you are repaid for the suffering you’ve endured if the injuries you sustained came as a result of someone else’s negligence.

Car Crash Claims

We are partnered with highly skilled lawyers all over the country, so we can put you in touch with one local to you in Sheffield who will work on a no win no fee* basis to win you maximum car crash claims compensation.

Your Car Accident In Sheffield

A car accident can bring a great amount of stress to not only you, but also your loved ones. Knowing the direction in which to take the next step can be confusing, so that’s why we do this for you.

We put you in touch with a specialist car accident solicitor who is suited to your particular needs. They will then fight your corner to win you the maximum amount of compensation for the particular type of injury you suffered.

Our process:

  1. Call us for free or fill in an online contact form, giving us some simple details of your accident so we can calculate your claim.
  2. From there, we’ll assess your case and tell you in a matter of minutes whether or not you are entitled to start a claim
  3. If you meet the criteria, we’ll put you in contact with a specialist car accident solicitor local to you in Sheffield

What We Cover

The types of injury that often come as a result of a car accident tend to be severe. Below we have listed several injury types, one of which may apply to you.

If, however, the injury you sustained is not on this list, this doesn’t mean that we can’t help you. Simply call our free phone line for more information on your specific situation.

  • Whiplash Injury Claims
  • Back or Neck Injury Claims
  • Head or Brain Injury Claims
  • Limb Injury Claims
  • Loss Of Senses Claims
  • Organ Damage Claims

What Is No Win No Fee?

The lawyer that we connect you with will represent you on a no win no fee* basis. This means exactly what it states, you will not owe any money for the legal services you have received until your claim is successful. In the unlikely situation that you walk away without compensation, you will not have incurred any legal costs. This conditional agreement protects you from any financial risk when making the decision to start a claim.

Strengthening Your Claim

Granted that your accident has been reported to the Police, we ask anyone that wants to start a car accident claim to collect any evidence of their accident that they can. Any information that provides your claim with credibility could make a difference to the total sum of compensation you win in the end. This could include:

  • Photographs of your vehicle after the accident
  • Photographs of where the accident happened
  • Photographs of your injuries
  • Evidence of the medical attention you have received
  • Evidence of any painkillers etc. that you’ve purchased since the accident
  • Evidence of time taken off work as a result of the accident

Choosing The Lawyer For You 

It is important that you gain representation from a lawyer that you can trust will go the extra mile to win you compensation. Overcoming a car accident is difficult enough, with many seeing the fight for compensation as a struggle too big. We seek to simplify this for you – putting you in touch with a lawyer who we know will treat your claim with respect and professionalism. The majority of cases that we deal with are settled out of court too, so this is something that you don’t have to worry about.

Contact Us 

Our services are available to you 24/7. We believe that it’s important that you can get in touch with us when it suits you, no matter what time of day that may be.

Our call handlers can determine whether you are due compensation in a matter of minutes, and if you are, they will put you in touch with a specialist car accident solicitor in Sheffield straightaway.

Alternatively, you can fill in an online contact form and expect to hear back from us in no time at all.

We hope that you find this help article of use. 

Family law has evolved rapidly to reflect social changes in the society; it has blossomed from the patriarchal approach to the gender parity reforms of the twentieth century. This is that group of norms that are invoked to settle domestic disputes, for instance between spouses and relationships involving children.

In this age where the marriage institution is guided by parity between partners, divorce, separation, guardianship, civil unions and the creation of partnerships are handled by family lawyers.

Most states have different rules that apply to the family institution; however, the growing role of international law has led to the creation of uniform rules for the family institution. Sometimes a solicitor can be of great relief to a client who is in a family dispute – especially where children are involved.

Furthermore, there are always disagreements among the family members in issues of succession and division of property. If you have a family solicitor or lawyer, they can facilitate amicable solutions.

Marriage is intrinsically essential; however, the relationship may end up breaking prematurely. Your wedding may be a gateway to long term hurdles if the spouses are incompatible. For instance if the other spouse is violent, has unreasonable demands or you realize gross misconduct such as infidelity, terminating the marriage may be beneficial to the two of you.

The Remit of a Family Solicitor

Family solicitors handle divorce from filing, demonstrating to the court the rationale behind the divorce and enforcing various rights that subsist in the relationship. Where there is matrimonial property that arises from joint contributions or in any other percentage, you have proprietary interests that cannot be infringed.

Children are lie at the heart of every marriage, they consummate it. A family lawyer can enable you to enforce the rights and other interests for your children. In case you end up divorcing both of you may want to live with the kids or circumstances may deem it necessary for either of you to retain guardianship.

Similarly, rights may arise upon the termination of marriage; the other spouse may not be willing to undertake obligations such as child support. Your lawyer will ensure that the party is compelled by a competent authority or court to execute certain orders such as payments of school fees and footing the children’s maintenance upon a divorce. The only thing required is to get the necessary documentary evidence or any other form to prove your contribution.

Family law has numerous prongs; it deals with the broad scope of interests and rights that arise as a result of social relations. Having a family lawyer is not only important during the dissolution of marriage but also during its subsistence.

Make Sure You Seek Advice When Needed

You can have a family lawyer for the family who can be an important tool during emergency situations. They can enable you to undertake certain measures such as drafting legal wills, codicils, transmission of property rights such as share ownership and facilitating property protection through trusts and prudent investments. You may want your property to be held under a trust fund and to devolve to your kids when they are of a certain age, the solicitor would be a tool for the purpose.

This week we were asked by a technology company if they could provide us with a guest post for our readers. We said yes, but on the proviso that they offer a charitable donation to a charity of our choice which we recommended to them. You can read their post below. If you would like to contribute then please get in touch – we don’t accept everything and are very strict about partners having to make charity donations in return.

Check Out This New Sat Nav Device to Improve Car Safety and Accidents

The Garmin Nuvi 1690 is a GPS which comes with fully integrated online services which use Garmin’s nuLink features.  The features include real-time traffic information, White Pages and Google search, weather forecasts, fuel prices or airline schedules – all of which position this new GPS from Garmin a little bit ahead of the competitive products from the Dutch manufacturer TomTom.

garminnuv

It comes with a 4.3 inch screen which offers good readability, even in the glare of the sun. On the left hand side you will see a memory card reader that takes the microSD format.  This lets you add new maps or photos into the Garmin GPS. You might want to buy an adapter for standard SD cards which will help you as you will not have to go through the PC in order to transfer from one card to another.  You can also recharge the GPS using the mini USB port on its bottom edge.

If you want to purchase one yourselves, then you can do so directly from Garmin.com or Amazon. If you wish to save money on the purchase then it’s highly recommended that you take advantage of a discount code from the GPS Bites website.

A Compact and Sleek GPS Which is Very Portable

The Garmin Nuvi 1690 is relatively compact and is bigger than the other Garmin GPS devices in a similar price range – for example the 1390T and 1490T. It’s only 19mm thick and weighs just 176g which means you can carry it easily – it’s not too far off the size of a cell phone to put things into perspective.

The plastics used are of a high quality and the back of the unit has a soft touch. However, the shiny black plastic of the unit whilst pleasing to look at, will scratch very easily and tends to get dirty quickly.

The Technical Aspects Could be Better

Finding satellites is super quick for a GPS and it will start up in 25 seconds – the general responsiveness is good, contrary to what was reported on reviews of the Garmin Nuvi 860 and 865T devices.

However, the predictive text is not that great and all it really does is propose a list of locations sorted alphabetically meaning there is not a lot of choice available.  There is also no speech recognition on this model, unlike the older high-end models which cost more.

Unfortunately the volume control is also not very practical.  It can take two steps to reach the menu, then two more to return to the navigation. It would be better to be able to access it direct from the navigation or by physical buttons on the side of the GPS.

Use Connected Services to Enhance Your Drive

One of the better options available on the Garmin Nuvi 1690 GPS is the connected services aspect.  This enables traffic information direct to the display which is updated in real time plus speed cameras alerts on the fly.  It’s very easy to use but you will need to subscribe after the free trial period expires.  The traffic information works very well as it lets you re-direct to another route if there are any incidents along your way to the destination.

Save Money on Fuel with the Garmin Nuvi 1690 GPS

For the ecologically minded customers the EcoRoute function is very cool.  This will let you drive mre economically and monitors you speed and fuel consumption.  This might make your journey a little longer, but will generally give you a more pleasant drive. You should use this if you are not in a hurry and want to reduce your gas consumption whilst you drive.

If you want to save even more money when driving then take advantage of the fuel price information – this tells you which gas station is the cheapest and how far it is from your position. It will even display the other gas the stations on your route which is great if you are starting to run low on fuel.  This is one aspect that might make you decide to buy Garmin when compared to cheaper GPS models – as it will save you money over the course of the years you own it for.

Superb Voices with a Choice of Accents

In terms of voices, the sound has improved greatly since the 860T and 865T GPS models.  It does still sound slightly synthetic and you can even change the voices if you don’t like the standard ones.

Of course, one of the most important aspects to any GPS is the actual navigation.  The Nuvi 1690 excels in this area and the operation is complemented by a hands-free kit which works very well with iPhone and Bluetooth.  There is no MP3 player, but you can sync the device with an iPod if you want which will get you around this issue.

Know Where You Are at All Times

Other aspects of note are the “Where am I” function which lets you know exactly where you are at any time so you can precisely locate and contact the closest hospitals, police stations, fuel stations and get road break down assistance very quickly when you need it.

The weather forecast option works well, showing a 5 day forecast on your current location or wherever you want to navigate to.  Should you need it then there is also a currency converter included – perfect for long-distance drivers who are travelling between different countries.

Use the Garmin Nuvi 1690 GPS in Pedestrian Mode When Walking

Should you want to, you can even use the Nuvi 1690 GPS when walking by using the pedestrian mode (called cityXplorer by Garmin).  It is simple and effective, but we did notice that it turned itself on when we were in very slow moving traffic – the GPS obviously thought we were walking due to the slow speed of the traffic!  However, if you are planning on a holiday then definitely take the Nuvi 1690 GPS with you – even if you are not planning on driving as it will be the perfect accompaniment to any tour guide leaflets you might decide to pick up.

Use Google Search to Find Points of Interest

Finally there is a local search facility served by Google.  It lets you search for locations and points of interest (POI files), whilst the white pages search lets you look up people and business addresses whilst on the move.

One of our legal partners has yet again taken the opportunity to provide some content for the Native Child Alliance website. South Coast Lawyers (also known as Personal Injury Solicitors Brighton) offer a range of services to people on the south coast who have been hurt or injured and would like to employ the services of a personal injury lawyer.

They offer no win no fee legal services for any person or child wishing to make an accident claim in the southern part of the United Kingdom. Contact them today if you live in that area including Brighton, Hove, Hastings, and Sussex and talk to them about making a personal injury claim today.

// Personal Injury Solicitor Blog Post

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced that it will take further steps to warn employees about the dangers of sleeping in bunk beds after an employee accident.

One worker fell and broke her foot after falling from a bunk bed six-feet off the ground, as revealed in a Freedom of Information request. The employee said that she had forgotten the bed was so high.

According to the London Metro, the MoD will now issue a briefing regarding the dangers of bunk beds to ensure employee safety, and in turn, limit their liability for accidents to avoid any future incidents involving personal injury solicitors or accident claims.

London Metro Website - Personal Injury Solicitors

How the London Metro reported this news recently.

This is just one of the strange and unfortunate accidents that affect employees in the UK every year. Other accidents at work included injuries whilst dealing with rubbish, walking into glass windows and even injuries whilst taking part in fun activities such as wrestling in sumo suits.

These unusual incidents were all reported by health and safety officers who must record all serious accident at work incidents for the Health and Safety Executive, with most cases then being passed over to a local personal injury solicitor or national accident claims company.

modIn addition to the bunk bed accident, a number of parachuting accidents were also reported by officers at the MoD, In these circumstances, sufferers reported hitting the ground with too much force or at an awkward angle.

A host of parachuting accidents was also included as personal injury claims and cases where MoD employees were hurt hitting the ground awkwardly or with too much force.

All serious accidents at the MoD are reported using RIDDOR forms. These forms are a requirement for organisations which must be filled out following an accident in the workplace, or where there is a health and safety issue which could lead to a serious accident.

A spokesman for the MoD said:

“The MoD has a duty of care to all its employees whether military or civilian personnel, and we keep our health and safety policies under constant review to manage risk and make sure our personnel have appropriate protection at work, including during training and operations.”

These accident at work revelations highlight how important health and safety at work is, and also that every employer has a responsibility towards their employees when it comes to health and safety.

Can I be dismissed if I make a claim against my employer?

Often people are worried about making a personal injury claim against their employer for fear of how it will affect their employment.

However, under UK law, you cannot be dismissed for pursuing an accident at work personal injury claim against you employer. Most employers have insurance to cover the cost of an accident at work claim, and thus will only be inconvenienced by the claim.

For these reasons, you should not let concerns about your employment prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve. Most personal injury solicitors will work on a no win no fee basis for all new clients.

At South Coast Lawyers (personal injury solicitors in Brighton) we can work with you to investigate your case, gather evidence to make your claim and work to make sure you get the maximum compensation owed to you. If you have been injured in an accident at work, contact us today for your free, no obligation consultation.

How much compensation could I claim for an accident at work?

Determining how much compensation you could get for an accident at work can be difficult. The answer very much depends on the nature of your injury; the lasting effects of your injury and any steps your employer took to prevent your injury. You may be awarded what is known as general damages.

General damages are awarded for pain, suffering and loss of amenity. You may also be awarded ‘special damages’. Special damages compensate you for any financial loss incurred. This includes things such as loss of earnings or loss of future earnings, medical or child care costs and any costs incurred as a result of being injured. For a more accurate assessment of how much your claim could be worth, contact Accident Claims Web today.

The following is a third party post supplied by one of the website partners we are currently working with. If you would like to something similar then please read our about page for full details on how companies working in the accident injury claims space can work with us.

If you are involved in a workplace accident, many people do not know who to turn to. Often unable to work many people fear that they will not be able to take legal action against their employer. Thankfully, the Accident Claims Web can get you the compensation you deserve.

Working across the UK, they are expert personal injury solicitors who can give you the legal advice required to get the maximum amount of compensation when making a personal injury claim. The customer service team at the Accident Claimline are available 24 hours a day.

When you visit Accident Claims Web, you can complete an online enquiry form with your details and a representative will call you back to discuss your accident claim. Alternatively, you can call them directly and speak to an expert member of staff from the care centre.

Accidents Claims in the Workplace

Sadly, accidents in the workplace are exceptionally common often due to negligence or your employer failing in their duty of care.This is what one of their legal representatives has to say on the matter:

“Your employer has a duty to make sure that you, along with all members of staff are protected in the workplace. Your employer should make sure that the workplace is free from hazards, all employees are suitably trained for their role, and that proper health and safety procedures are in place as well as proper health and safety equipment.”

“If your employer fails in their duty of care or if you are injured as a result of carelessness, the team of expert lawyers at the Accident Claims Web can help you with accident at work compensation.”

accidentbookTo make a personal injury claim following an accident in the workplace, the team at the Accident Claims Web will require certain types of evidence to build the strongest personal injury claim. To obtain the maximum amount of compensation following an accident in the workplace your solicitor may require:

  • A medical report- If you are injured we strongly advise that you seek treatment from a medical expert as they can assess the extent of your injuries and ensure you get the best treatment to make a recovery.
  • Witness statements- To prove how your accident occurred we may require witness statements or contact details from witnesses who saw your incident.
  • Photographic evidence- This can show the full extent of your injury and even show how your accident occurred e.g. a hazard in the workplace. Any similar evidence such as CCTV could also be used.
  • A copy of a note of the accident or proof of the incident in the Accident Report Book
  • Any other evidence that could support your claim

How much Could your Personal Injury Claim be Worth?

It is difficult to assess exactly what your personal injury claim could be worth as no personal injury claim is alike.

Below is a video from their online marketing team which goes into a little detail about how they work and operate.

A Professional Team of Solicitors

However, the team of expert solicitors will be able to investigate your case and provide a rough estimate based on their years of experience and knowledge of the previous cases.

However, and again, when making a personal injury claim, it is possible to claim for more than just your injuries. You can claim for damages if you have been unable to work, and unable to earn, if your injuries have left you unable to do certain activities and if there was any damage to your personal belongings in the accident.

To claim for further damages, such as loss of earnings, you should provide bank statements and proof to our team of expert solicitors.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Many people believe that if they are injured they do not need to enlist the services of a personal injury lawyer and that they will be granted what they are owed in compensation. This, however, is not always the case, and such claims can often be exceptionally drawn out and complex, especially if one party denies the allegations.

Often, many accident and injury claims are resolved outside of court through a settlement agreement. A settlement agreement resolves the dispute, normally in return for capital.

Following the signing of such an agreement, a settlement is reached, and you are not able to take further legal action. Therefore, it is imperative that you have a solicitor present. A lawyer will be able to inform you of exactly what your claim is worth and what would be an adequate settlement.
