Such specialist lawyers are very conversant with all aspect of this area of the law. They need to gather information and you could do some of this work yourself to save some time.

If you have been injured through someone else’s negligence it is of the utmost importance that you should seek legal assistance as soon as possible. You can seek a claim for compensation for up to three years after the incident.

However, the sooner you take action the more accurately your claim can be documented as memory fades over time.

Normally information is collected from people who have seen your accident, called witnesses and, of course, from the police if there has been a road traffic accident.

Furthermore medical reports are important. They can catalogue your recovery or the lack of it from beginning to your present state. It may be that as a result of your injury you are no longer in employment.

You will be able to claim for loss of earnings in this case. You need to realise that these actions take some time to resolve, sometimes years. If you find it difficult to go on financially and you have a strong claim, you may be eligible for an interim payment.

If you had a work related injury then it is for your lawyer to see whether practices in your company could have prevented an accident. Many injuries are sustained in the workplace and it is often lack of safety precautions that are the cause of these.

Your employer should also ensure that his employees are properly trained for the job they do. This is especially important in the construction industry.
