Personal injury solicitors and significant harm to casualty

People who have suffered harm due to the negligent actions of an individual, organisation or employer may be able to make a compensation claim by contacting a personal injury solicitor.

Whether the victim has sustained minor injury or a permanent disability in an accident, they should be able to claim for damages if they are not at fault.

However, if an injury is minor enough not to cause the casualty any significant problems such as a small cut from a sharp object it is unlikely that the person will be able to gain recompense. On the other hand if the small cut became infected and caused the victim pain, or needed medical treatment to heal, the case may be worth pursuing with a lawyer's help.

The injury should be significant enough to warrant legal action. If the person has not suffered any pain, discomfort, or loss of earnings due to the injury, however severely negligent the actions of the at-fault party, it is likely that the incident will not be actionable.

Nevertheless, there are some incidences where this may not be the case. For example, if a worker witnesses a catastrophic accident at work in which they are physically only very slightly hurt but sustain deep psychological harm due to what they have seen, an employer could be seen as liable if the initial accident occurred due to their negligence towards health and safety.
