No win, no fee solicitors and firework displays
Unless you're a dog, bonfire night is fantastic. Rockets whizzing into the air, sparklers making pretty patterns in the darkness and parkin pigs and toffee apples to munch on. When we were kids it was up there with Christmas and birthdays as one of the best days of the year. Now we're grown ups it doesn't have to be any less amazing. As long as the dog's indoors and the little ones are kept far enough away from the fire, we're free to revert back to our childhood and enjoy the fireworks.
But, tragically, not everyone always gets the chance to enjoy bonfire night as they should; accidents can happen and they often do. Sometimes the injuries caused by such incidents are so bad that there's a need to consult a no win, no fee solicitor to make a compensation claim.
In the autumn of 2005, 121 people suffered personal injuries whilst attending large public displays in the UK. Nowadays, unlike the days of old, a massive amount of work goes into ensuring the safety of everyone at such an event and time is spent undertaking risk assessments and other vital precautions.
The fire service is always on hand to take care of any emergencies and paramedics are usually present too to help if anybody gets hurt. Despite all this, negligence does occur and the often sad result is that people are left scarred for life, both physically and mentally.
If an organisation is holding a public bonfire or fireworks display, they need to ensure that the safety of everybody attending the event is guaranteed. If they fail to do this, either by simple oversight or by intentional short cutting, no win, no fee solicitors are likely to have to get involved to help the injured parties.
But it's not just at public displays that fireworks are prone to cause injury private parties sometimes end in disaster too. With fireworks increasingly expensive, friends and neighbours often club together to buy enough to have their own small display, inviting their pals around to witness the magic.
It was these type of small gatherings that were responsible for the injury of over 500 people throughout the autumn of 2005, 216 suffering because of incidents with rockets and 104 being injured by sparklers.
Insurance companies have gone to great lengths to remind homeowners that they can be held legally responsible if a guest, or an innocent neighbour, is hurt because of a firework display or bonfire and to ensure that they are adequately covered in case of this eventuality.
The majority of home contents insurance policies provide cover of up to around £2,000,000 if a third party is injured because of an accident on the homeowner's property. This is exactly the type of cover that'll be needed if someone who has been hurt employs a no win, no fee solicitor to make a personal injury compensation claim against you.
