For the vast majority of people under 40, making an accident claim online is no more difficult than the 101 or so other daily tasks undertaken on a computer but for people born before, say, 1950, accessing technology is not always easy.
Although there are many "silver surfers" who enjoy keeping in touch with relatives via Skype, finding bargains on shopping sites or expressing opinions on online forums, it is those of pensionable age who may be the least likely to use the web to access services or products.
This means they will be unable to have the widest choice when it comes to finding the best product or company for their needs and they will be unable to make the best price and standard comparisons because of their limited knowledge.
Another group which may be disadvantaged in terms of being able to use a computer is those on limited incomes.
Since computers became commonplace and their cost greatly reduced, similarly to buying a fridge or television, they are now a normal item of household expenditure. However, not everyone's budget can stretch to technology items and, of course, there are running costs, such as electricity and paper for a printer.
The UK Government has realised the importance of helping as many people as possible to have access to online services, such as a work accident victim being able to contact a personal injury lawyer through the web, and has encouraged public availability of computers in libraries and community advice centres.
All large and medium-sized libraries throughout the country are likely to have a computer available for use by the public during opening hours. In some areas there are hourly charges for use whereas others have monthly or annual subscriptions available for regular users.
Library computers usually allow full access to the worldwide web for any reasonable site and staff will explain if there are any restrictions on downloading or printing. Staff are also often able to help with queries should there be problems with the computer.
However, a small amount of knowledge of how to access online information will be assumed so it may be wise for someone new to computer technology to join a tuition group to pick up the basics.
There are hundreds of these throughout the country, some organised by libraries and community centres, others by voluntary groups or, for those who want to explore the topic in depth, further education colleges often offer courses run by experienced lecturers. The library itself or a community advice centre is a good place to start to find out about tuition.
Every day people are newly discovering the benefits of using computers for information and advice with all sorts of problems or ways to improve their lives. Businesses across every spectrum have a web presence and this includes personal injury lawyers who can offer their services to a far wider audience than they could before the advent of the internet.
