It can be said that the European Union has broken down the hindrance of national borders within its member states, allowing free movement of its citizens and greater Europe-wide employment opportunities. Yet, with such opportunities come risks, such as that of economic migrants suffering injury in their new countries. Inevitably, this is something the UK's personal injury lawyers have discovered, with many firms experiencing dramatic rises in the number of claims received from people born in former Eastern-bloc states.
There are several reasons for this. Not least among these is the number of Polish and other Eastern European workers who earn their livings in low-paid, manually-intensive jobs. Fruit picking, assembly line manufacturing and construction - just three of the sectors popular with these new economic migrants - all carry particular workplace risks and are among the most injury-prone industries in the UK.
Another reason for the growth in claims is the sheer number of these migrants. In some cities, such as Southampton and Peterborough, it is estimated that Eastern European migrants now account for as much as 10% of the population.
Some economic commentators even believe that this migration is upholding the UK economy and that if there were an exodus of these workers the UK would be unable to cope.
It should come as no surprise then to learn that some accident compensation firms are beginning to employ Polish-speaking personal injury lawyers in order to cater for the growing number of claims being made by workers from Poland.
This has not failed to attract the attention of the press, with one North London firm's efforts to recruit a Polish-speaking personal injury solicitor making headlines in 2008.
Some have complained about this situation, yet the reality remains that if people are allowed to come and work here in the UK, it naturally follows that, in the event of accident, they should be afforded the same rights to civil redress as any other person in the UK.
