A look at the various personal injury claims that we could help you with

Just how dangerous is modern day living?

Very, it seems.

Whilst at work we could very possibly trip over a protruding telephone wire and do ourselves a nasty personal injury, or when out driving there's a possibility that we could be smashed into by a careless driver and end up with a painful case of whiplash.

But is this typical of everyday life? Sadly, the answer is a resounding and unequivocal yes.

No matter how careful we are or how many steps we take to protect ourselves, there is still the possibility of being hurt by something over which we have no control. If you find yourself hurt because of someone else's negligence then you could, quite rightly, be in a position to make a personal injury compensation claim.

But just what sort of things can you make an accident claim for?

Here at YouClaim we receive hundreds of claims every day and the type of incidents claimed for vary enormously.

Personal injuries sustained in car accidents make up a huge number of the compensation claims made by our customers and include whiplash, head injuries and spinal cord injuries amongst others. Click here for more information about claiming compensation following a road accident.

The phones here at YouClaim are also regularly ringing because of accidents in the workplace. Among those that have contacted us are people who have been left with personal injuries following falls from scaffolding on building sites, office workers who have slipped over on wet floors and factory workers who have been badly hurt by faulty machinery.

Numerous other types of work accident claims have been successfully handled by YouClaim and we've also been able to help air hostesses, farm workers and mechanics who have needed to seek personal injury compensation. Click here to read more about making a work accident claim.

It's not only car crashes and work accidents that YouClaim can help with, but a whole range of other non-fault accidents too.

Asbestos-related diseases
As recently as the 1970s asbestos was used extensively in cladding and insulation and countless workers were exposed to it without being warned of the risks. It is only in the past twenty years that the effects of this exposure have begun to become widely noticeable and thousands of people are now being diagnosed with asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis and pleural plaques.

Many of those whose lives have been affected by asbestos have contacted YouClaim and we're proud to have been able to make things a little more comfortable with the reward of personal injury compensation.

Holiday accidents
Going away on holiday is supposed to be a relaxing break from the stresses and strains of everyday life. But instead of cheap bottles of wine and oversized sombreros, some people return back home with a holiday ruined by an unwanted personal injury.

If your holiday is a package deal then your tour operator is ultimately responsible for your safety. That means that you could be in a position to make a personal injury claim if you were hurt during an activity organised by your holiday rep or even if you were injured because of faulty items in your hotel room.

YouClaim have helped hundreds of distraught holidaymakers over the past years and our expert personal injury solicitors have come to the aid of people who have been hurt in a range of holiday accidents including swimming pool incidents, hotel falls and coach crashes. If your tour operator failed to provide you with a safe environment and you became injured as a result, then YouClaim are the people to help you.

Medical negligence
Hospitals, doctor's surgeries and the dentist's; three places the majority of us would prefer not to spend our time. Now and then we've got no choice, however, and an operation, a check up or a filling is unavoidable. So we put ourselves in the hands of the medical professionals who are trained to carry out the necessary procedure and we trust in their abilities to do the job correctly.

But sometimes things go wrong and the surgeon, doctor or dentist responsible fails to perform their duties properly. Botched operations and misdiagnoses can have serious consequences and anybody who has experienced medical negligence is well within their rights to seek compensation.

One type of medical negligence that often has particularly tragic consequences involves birth injuries and can affect both the mother and the newborn child. The birth of a child is supposed to be a happy time but mistakes made by medical staff can have disastrous results. Anybody who has suffered because of an unnecessary birth injury, therefore, can contact YouClaim in the knowledge that their case will be dealt with confidentially, sympathetically and with understanding at all times.

Product liability
Last, but definitely not least, are product liability claims. These consist of suits against the manufacturer of products that have been badly designed or have proved faulty and have caused the consumer to be injured.

Our panel of leading personal injury solicitors are experts in this field and have pursued a significant number of compensation claims including those against producers of dangerously faulty hair straightners, food manufacturers that haven't labelled their products with adequate allergy warnings and companies who have designed toys that have injured children.

When you spend your hard earned money on something, you don't expect it to cause you harm and so are fully justified in seeking compensation if a product has injured you somehow.

Making a personal injury claim with YouClaim
The types of claims mentioned above are by no means all that YouClaim can help you with and over the years we've helped to win compensation for a huge variety of other reasons. Amongst them have been people who have suffered personal injuries because of badly maintained pavements, those who have been hurt in motorcycle accidents and tenants whose landlords' negligence has led to them suffering damage to their health.
