All Claims
Claims come in many forms, and for many different reasons. Whether it's for the pain and suffering of an injury, or the financial costs associated with an accident, First4Lawyers are here to help you.
Industrial disease
Industrial diseases can develop from years of exposure or repetitive tasks in the workplace. Conditions include asbestosis, industrial deafness, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and Vibration White Finger (Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome).
Road traffic accident (RTA)
Put simply, these are collisions on the road between two or more vehicles. Injuries such as whiplash and broken limbs are a common result of road accidents. How many people make a claim after a road traffic accident might surprise you.
Accident at work
Millions of us go to work every day without issue, but for some a simple visit to work can leave them with a life-changing injury. Common workplace accidents include slips, trips and falls, injury caused by using faulty equipment or through working in unsafe conditions.
Medical negligence
Although nobody expects to be the victim of medical negligence, the unexpected does happen. Examples include faulty operations, misdiagnosis of illnesses/injuries, being given the wrong prescription and poor medical care.
Slip, trip or fall in public places
Every year, hundreds upon hundreds of people suffer injuries on high streets, in parks, shopping centres or council-owned buildings like libraries and town halls. The upkeep of these places is the responsibility of councils.
Faulty products
It's bad enough when you've bought a product that doesn't work, but if it's faulty and actually causes injury, you are within your rights to take action against the manufacturer.
