3. Why should you suffer chagrin and distress if you are involved in a
car or motorcycle accident that is not your fault? With so many
vehicles on the road, there is no guarantee they will all be
operated by skilled and careful drivers. The effects of a motor
accident can often be very serious; injuries ranging from broken
bones to whiplash can occur and disrupt lives. This coupled with
the possible destruction of a valuable vehicle could cost a lot of
money.

4. The head is a powerful yet delicate tool. Trauma suffered by
it could result in the need of special care and attention. This
attention is seldom free and often taxing. Whether the
injury was acquired through a car accident, assault or
negligence, the injured party could be entitled to Injury
compensation. Head injuries often affect whole
families, this will be taken into account when Ocean
Accident Claims strives to redeem the compensation
deserved.

5. There is a wide range of different injuries and ailments
suffered that can be traced to the workplace. If workplace
conditions are dangerous then compensation could be due.
The types of injuries at work can vary from Knee pain from
over use, exposure to Asbestos or general accidents where
it was not your fault. Work Injuries are the most common
and due to this there are many more types of Injuries that
are eligible for claims.

6. If you have been injured in the process of a crime being
committed by another party then you could be entitled to
make an Accident Compensation Claim. Innocent bystanders
can be caught up in dangerous crimes resulting in a negative
impact upon their health. These crimes and their
subsequent injuries can occur in any private or commercial
property.

7. Whiplash injuries can manifest themselves in a number
of different manners and ailments. From the
immediately painful to the long-term consistent
debilitating pains; all manner of injuries can cause
great stress on daily life. If you have suffered a
whiplash injury then you could be entitled to make a
Whiplash Claim.

8. If you are one of the thousands of people every year who
put their trust in hospitals and health centres only to be
given sub-standard care; then you could be entitled to
compensation.
When you enter the health service, you expect to be
skillfully and carefully cared for by a team of skilled
professionals. If this has not come to fruition then you
should contact out Injury Solicitors to discover if you can
make an Accident Compensation Claim.

9. A Slip, Trip or Fall claim can be made when you have
suffered an injury due to the carelessness or negligence of
others. This can occur in the home, workplace or a
commercial property. If you are a victim of such negligence
then you could be entitled to make an Accident
Compensation Claim.

10. If another party is guilty of causing or neglecting a wet or slippery surface
then they could be risking the welfare of others. Slipping on the wet or
slippery surface can cause significant injury to the victim. Slips are most
likely to occur where the use of liquids are common such as bars and
restaurants.
Slips can occur almost anywhere. If you slip in a public area that is
maintained by a local government then the local council is liable for your
accident.
Slips can occur when correct signage is not presented. Failure to present
the signage is negligence on the part of the employer.

11. If an object has been left unattended in a public walk way by another
party, it can lead to a trip. Even if unattended for a short while, objects
need to be stored in an area where they will not be tripped over. Trips
can cause the same intensity of injury as slips. Trips are most likely to
occur in properties with a high volume of traffic such as busy offices and
supermarket.
Trips can also be caused by faulty goods in the home. If part of a product
falls into the path of the victim due to faulty manufacturing, then the
manufacturer is responsible for the accident.

12. If another party's negligence of duty leads to a fall then they could be
risking the welfare of others. Holes and gaps need to be properly and
correctly signed with warnings for the public. Road maintenance works
need to be properly signed and cordoned off to prevent the public from
injuring themselves. Holes and gaps of great height and width can lead to
very dangerous accidents and significant injuries.
Falls can also occur in commercial properties; old shops and pubs often
have trapdoors leading to basements. If these are opened and neglected
it can lead to a fall. Likewise, poorly signed staircases can lead to an
accidental fall.
