Injury Claim & Accident Compensation

Unfortunately accidents do happen and for those lucky few who escape injury the experience can be filed in the mishap box. However, for most, an injury will be a natural consequence of any accident, be it a car accident, accident at work or an accident while out in a public place.

The shock caused by any accident is always an unpleasant experience. Depending on the severity of the injury sustained, our thoughts turn to preservation and safety rather than evidence gathering and protecting our legal position.

It is for this reason that we wish to set out the necessary steps you should take following an accident in order that you have all the information to hand should you wish to consider making a personal injury claim for compensation.

• If possible, try to take photographs/video of the accident scene. Mobile phones are an excellent tool in this regard. If you have been involved in a car accident you should photograph/video the damage to the vehicles involved and their positions immediately after the accident.
