The most common type of serious injury claim covered in the media usually involves a place of work, a road traffic accident, or a fall in a shop. These aren’t the only venues for serious injury, however.
Sports injuries
A surprising number of long-term injuries start on community sports fields. Participants injured by defective grounds, or workers injured while playing for the company team, may have a case for injury compensation.
Maritime-related injuries
Although a boat is a special environment, companies and captains are still responsible for preventing slips, trips and falls in passengers and workers. Accidents don’t have to happen at sea to warrant compensation. For example, a holidaymaker injured on a trip along the Mersey would be within their rights to file a claim for personal injury in Manchester.
Injuries from products or services
Companies have a responsibility to the public to ensure health and safety. Unfortunately, this is a responsibility some companies fail to meet. Claims can be made against companies when defective products cause injury. Likewise, if services are carried out in an unsafe manner, such as ladders being placed in unsafe positions or walls not being properly secured, the service provider is responsible for any resulting accidents.
Injuries while away
Safety standards aren’t on the same level across the globe, but companies that send holidaymakers overseas can sometimes be held responsible for the standard of service in another country. For injured holidaymakers, it can be worthwhile dropping in on personal injury solicitors in Manchester, London or somewhere more local to see if a claim is possible.
Animal-related injuries
Finally, pet owners have a responsibility to keep their pets under control. For any victim of a dog bite, it should come as a comfort to know that a negligent owner can be held liable for medical costs, or further damages in the case of a serious injury.
