According to the latest figures from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, accidents kill around 14,000 people in the UK each year. Hundreds of thousands more sustain injuries in various types of accidents, with many of these sustaining serious or life-changing injuries.
What other types of accidents can you claim for?
While road accidents, workplace accidents and medical negligence cases tend to absorb most of the public’s attention, accidents can take place anywhere and everywhere and to anyone. Here are just a few examples:
- Dog bites
- Accidents on an aircraft
- Accidents to children
- Accidents in supermarkets
- Skiing accidents
- Accidents on holiday
- Accidents in public places
- Accidents in the home
- Accidents in school
- Accidents on private roads
- Accidents in car parks
- Accidents on public transport
Whether the injury sustained is relatively minor or severe, short-lived or life-changing, if you or a loved one have suffered an injury in an accident that was not your fault, you could be entitled to compensation. Thompsons’ personal injury solicitors are among the leading accident compensation specialists in Scotland.
