Anglian Injury Lawyers

AIL deal with all types of claim. The majority of our work includes:

Road traffic accidents
Work place accidents
Tripping/slipping claims

Whilst the majority of claims fall within one or other of these categories, there are exceptions.

Other claims involve clinical negligence (against hospitals, GPs, or dentists), industrial disease (eg for deafness, mesothelioma, or vibration white finger) and even claims for damage to your hair or negligent plastic surgery.

If you have been assaulted, then there is a government scheme known as the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority Scheme. Although the amount of damages that can be recovered is generally lower and costs cannot always be recovered, it is still worthwhile bringing a claim if you have been attacked and suffered injury through no fault of your own.

Some car drivers may be either uninsured or in the case of a hit and run driver, untraceable. These claims are dealt with by the Motor Insurers Bureau. The costs of bringing a claim cannot be recovered in full for untraced driver claims because the Bureau does not pay all costs in addition to damages. Even so, it is usually worthwhile bringing a claim.

If you are at all concerned about whether a claim can be brought and what effect not being able to recover all your costs may have on your damages, then please contact us for an informal (no charge) discussion.

The golden rule is if in doubt seek our advice.

You have nothing to lose and quite possibly something to gain. As a famous Judge once said "the categories of negligence are never closed". In other words if you have suffered injury because of somebody else's negligence then always ask whether a claim is possible.
