			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.injuryclaimsreview.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/accidents-at-work.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-671" title="accidents-at-work" src="http://www.injuryclaimsreview.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/accidents-at-work.gif" alt="Accidents At Work" width="672" height="166" /></a></p>
<p>Each year, you will find over 36 million business days lost due to accidents at the office and work-related sickness, based on the Royal Society For the Prevention of Accidents findings. You will find also around 350 deaths each year because of accidents at {the office|work}, 1,000 deaths in work-related accidents on the highway and 12,000 early deaths due to past contact with hazardous substances like asbestos.</p>
<p>Work accidents happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, those are the fault of the worker themselves, but frequently it&#8217;s the employer that has been unsuccessful to ensure their workers&#8217; safety. Regardless if you are an worker or perhaps an employer, you will find numerous duties you have to keep on the top of to be able to prevent accidents at the office happening whenever we can. It will not only safeguard employees from work-related injuries, it will likewise safeguard companies from work accident compensation claims.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Employees&#8217; responsibilities:</h3>
<p>Employees have duties to take care of their very own safety and stop work accidents where possible. Within the United kingdom there&#8217;s a method of self-regulation, where union reps must liaise with companies to produce a safe atmosphere for those employees. They ought to be positively involved with creating a good working atmosphere, and take reasonable proper care of their and safety.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Employers&#8217; responsibilities:</h3>
<p>Companies must remove safety and health risks whenever we can for that handling of substances, maintain safe work systems and keep a secure working atmosphere. Safe access and exits should be provided in addition to facilities necessary to guarantee the welfare of employees. Safety and health rules should be implemented in a myriad of working conditions, including offices.</p>
<p>Companies with five or even more employees require a Statement of Safety and health Policy with written particulars of safety and health practices. When the organisation are under five, there should be safety and health training provided but no written policy is required.</p>
<p>Employers must make certain their staff know about health and safety methods, with training and supervision if required to avoid accidents at the office from happening. Based on the health and safety at the office Act, &#8216;provide similarly information, instruction, training and supervision out of the box essential to ensure, to date out of the box where reasonably practicable, the health and safety at the office of the employees&#8217;. Employers should also showcase safety and health to site visitors towards the place of work in addition to companies and sub-companies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Concerns</h3>
<p>If employees have concerns about safety and health, they ought to result in the company&#8217;s safety reps conscious of individuals concerns. If several reps request for just one, the business must setup a safety and health committee to see that safety and health methods within the organization have been in order.</p>
<p>For additional info on safety and health practices inside the place of work, go to the Safety and health Executive website.</p>
<p>If you are a worker that has had any sort of accident at the office also it wasn&#8217;t your fault, you might be titled to operate accident compensation. You can&#8217;t be fired for making a work accident claim,  as your employer is going to be insured against such claims, so it&#8217;s worth discovering whether your claim applies immediately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.injuryclaimsreview.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/car-accident-claims.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-666" title="car-accident-claims" src="http://www.injuryclaimsreview.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/car-accident-claims.gif" alt="" width="672" height="166" /></a></p>
<p>No two car accidents are ever exactly the same and an incredible number of accidents occur on our busy roads every year. If you&#8217;re looking to pursue a claim for compensation then its important to know some fundamental facts to be successful as it may mean that you could lose out on thousands in lost compensation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How you can ensure maximum pay out for your Car Accident Claim?</h3>
<p>Firstly always ask the claim company you&#8217;re using if you will keep 100% of the compensation awarded. Make sure to read any fine print and ask if there are actually any hidden charges or deductions at the outset. It could also be worthwhile to see if they have any testimonials or recommendations from previous clients.</p>
<p>Together with no deductions if you&#8217;re successful make sure that when your claim is taken on it is under the no-win-no-fee arrangement meaning win or lose the solicitors costs are going to be recovered from either the negligent 3rd party of via an insurance policy they take out in case of loss.</p>
<p>Most of us have seen the TV ads claiming grab the phone and talk to a specialist and you&#8217;ll be awarded quick cash. This is not strictly the case. First of all you must make sure that you decide on a company which will specialize in your individual injury type.</p>
<p>For instance, it&#8217;s of no advantage to you to use a mesothelioma expert lawyer to pursue a whiplash accident claim if they do not specialise in vehicle accidents as more often than not they&#8217;re not going to be well enough versed in recent case law. Always ask as many questions as you&#8217;re able think of at the start to help you choose the right accident claim company.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Who can claim?</h3>
<p>In addition to drivers, pedestrians and passengers can claim. Passengers might have been traveling in a vehicle being driven by somebody else. Here you&#8217;re claiming against the driver which would also including a car you may own car and even if the driver caused the accident as it&#8217;s the driver who was negligent.</p>
<p>Most people don&#8217;t realize that they may claim when they have been involved in an accident as a passenger within the last three years. Passengers in taxis or buses or any kind of vehicle transport could be eligible to claim against the drivers insurance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Has this affected you?</h3>
<p>You might be unsure who is to blame, in some accident situations and it does no harm if you consult an accident claim company or solicitor as certain cases where liability is hard to determine may put you off doing something about your injury.</p>
<p>Certain cases where liability is not one hundred per cent in either case then an equitable settlement may be made. Further deductions can also be made if you were conscious that the driver was under the influence of alcohol, unfit to drive or you weren&#8217;t wearing any seat belt protection for example.</p>
<p>Always be certain to evaluate any offer made. Sometimes the 3rd party’s insurer can make an offer saying that it will likely be quicker than appointing your own solicitor, but once you accept any offer it will be far too late to claim if a couple weeks or months later you&#8217;ve trouble at work with your neck problem.</p>
<p>If you feel you may have a valid car accident injury then why don&#8217;t you make a car accident claim today you&#8217;ve got nothing to lose and possible much to gain by consulting an accident claim company to discover if you are eligible; but remember you have to do so within three years of the date of the accident.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There may be some hesitancy shown by employees to pursue their employers for compensation if they&#8217;ve suffered an injury on the job. This is understandable, since all of us like to feel we have a good working relationship with our bosses, and none of us would willing to damage that if it can be helped at all.</p>
<p>But actually, there is little reason to fear damaging a good rapport with either your colleagues or superiors by making a personal injury claim, and even less reason to think making one should result in the loss of your job.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a large number of situations that may prompt an employee to make an accident at work claim, though they can depend greatly on the industry sector in question. From a simple slip and fall that leaves an ankle broken, to faulty machinery that causes a limb to be severed, the risks in any workplace are numerous.</p>
<blockquote><p>Regardless of the type of accident that an employee might have at work, there is no reason to be hesitant in making a claim. In fact, here are three reasons why.</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Law Allows It</h2>
<p>The premier reason why making a claim against an employer isn&#8217;t to be nervous about is that the law permits and protects the claimant. Once an incident can be proven to have caused injury and was due to the negligence of the employer, the law states that the injured employee is eligible to make a claim.</p>
<p>Of course, it is only natural that the employer will not welcome such a development with open arms, but regardless of whether a claim is successful, the employer isn&#8217;t allowed to dismiss the claimant. In fact, he is not permitted to alter the terms of employment, number of working hours or in any way punish an employee for making a claim. That means that once the outcome of a claim is decided, there is absolutely no victimisation permitted, in any way.</p>
<p>The fact is that victimisation very rarely occurs in any case. This is generally because the matter is dealt with between lawyers and insurance representatives, allowing employee and employer time to continue things.</p>
<p>Having said that, claims that are proven to be frivolous can sometimes provide an employer with grounds to dismiss, though it is essential to note that just because a claim is unsuccessful does not mean it was frivolous.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 28px; line-height: 33px;">The Insurance Pays, Not Your Boss</span></p>
<p>The everyday fear, particularly amongst people who work for small companies, is that the result of making a claim would be to seriously damage the financial position of the company. More often than not, the employer is actually very sympathetic and supportive, and often offer to pay for any medical expenses incurred. This is fine, but loss of earnings is a separate matter and a claim is often the best way to put such things right. However, any fear that the company will suffer financially in any significant way is not true.</p>
<p>The fact is that every employer is required to have Employer Liability Insurance, the very function of which is to cover the needs of injured employees who may be seeking compensation for sustaining an injury in the work place. Therefore, an employer is already ready to pay out. The only consequences that an employer will suffer is the expense of putting in place improved safety measures, and an increased insurance premium.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 28px; line-height: 33px;">The Boss Is Human Too</span></p>
<p>If a claimant already has a good relationship with an employer, it is highly probable that there could be agreement between both parties in the first place. A court case would probably not occur and everything can be sorted out very amicably. This is because employers are human too and most will understand completely why a personal injury claim was made.<br />
The only reason why there might be disagreement is usually if the claimant is perceived as being unreasonable in the extent of their claim.</p>
<p>However, if evidence from  eye witness and medical reports reports on the accident at work are accurate, then the claimant is entitled to the maximum amount of compensation possible. That&#8217;s the main reason, when making any sort of accident at work claim, all of the supporting documentation and evidence needs to be in order.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 28px; line-height: 33px;">We Can Help</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Compensation Claims Companies making unsolicited phone calls to private residences or mobiles asking if the recipient would like to file an accident compensation claim are in violation of laws regulating the claims industry and should be reported to the Ministry of Justice, say the personal injury solicitors at Claims Review in Grimsby.</strong></p>
<p>Chris Leadley, Manager of Claims Review, said that he has received such calls himself despite not even being in an accident,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;On answering the call, there was an automated message referring to a recent accident and saying that an adviser was on hand to talk to me and secure several thousands of pounds in compensation for me.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>According to Mr Leadley, the Ministry of Justice regulates claims companies to ensure that they do not make unsolicited contact with potential claimants. His advice to anybody who has been interrupted or annoyed by similar phone calls is &#8220;do your best to get the name of the company or a contact number so you can file a complaint with the Claims Regulation Unit at the Ministry of Justice as soon as possible.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This type of lead generation marketing is against the law for a reason &#8211; it is intrusive to members of the public and it encourages scurrilous types of claims that have given accident compensation claims solicitors a bad reputation. This type of aggressive marketing just belittles those people who have suffered a genuine injury and harms their ability to get their claims heard by the courts quickly. It is an aggressive and very unwelcome form marketing, and presents the wrong image of the legal profession.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>He also explains that texts sent to peoples phones with a similar purpose are also in violation on the law and should be reported in the same way.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;At Claims Review we believe in ethical practice and think this sort of cold calling should be stopped completely, people should be free to go about their lives without being the target of spam phone calls, texts and emails.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/society-sends-letter-claim-solicitors-hell-owner"><img alt="The Law Society sent a letter of claim to the owner of the Solicitors from Hell website, Rick Kordowski, last week" src="http://www.lawgazette.co.uk/files/images/The-Law-Society-20.thumbnail.gif" width="130" height="94"></a>
<p>Tuesday 16 August 2011 by <strong>Rachel Rothwell</strong>
<p>The Law Society sent a letter of claim to the owner of the Solicitors from Hell website last week, as it prepared to launch a class action against him on behalf of the profession.
<p>The letter demands that website owner Rick Kordowski must close the site, or face an action for defamation, harassment and breach of the Data Protection Act.
<p>More than 300 individual solicitors, law firms and others have joined the action against Kordowski, having been affected by the site. The <a href="http://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/solicitors-hell-face-legal-action">action</a> is also being brought on behalf of the profession as a whole.
<p>The letter of claim, sent by the Society’s solicitors Brett Wilson, points out that Kordowski has been sued for libel on at least 16 occasions in relation to the website.
<p>It notes that more than £150,000 has been awarded against him in damages, which remains unpaid.
<p>Brett Wilson said its analysis of the 990 postings on the site between 15 April and 10 August 2011 indicated that the site serves ‘no legitimate purpose’.
<p>It said the site was a ‘magnet for the vexatious and bitter whose complaints would not stand up to scrutiny in any impartial tribunal or forum’. In many cases the author is a disgruntled opponent, the firm said.
<p>The Society’s letter of claim sets out a schedule of undertakings on which it seeks agreement from Kordowski. These include an undertaking to remove the entire site from the web and not to publish any of the content in future, or set up any other website with a similar name.
<p>A Law Society spokeswoman said: ‘Not all solicitors defamed on the website can afford the time and trouble to bring a case themselves, and the Law Society is taking every possible step to protect our members and the public interest.’
<p>Kordowski said he denied all the allegations made against him. He pointed to the high levels of complaints against solicitors received by the Legal Ombudsman, and said the Society had rejected his offer to work together to expose wrongdoing in the profession.
<p>In a separate development last week, Kordowski lost two applications to appeal earlier judgments against him won by Megan Phillips, solicitor at London firm Bhatt Murphy, and Juliet Farrall, solicitor at London firm McCormacks.
<p>In Farrall’s case, Sir Richard Buxton held that Kordowski’s ‘argument that he offered the claimant the alternatives of excusing herself to him or paying a substantial amount of money, in each case to secure the removal of the posting, casts a dire light on the way in which he conducts his business’.
<p>He added: ‘The need to control the applicant’s activities’ had made ‘considerable demands on the court’s time&#8217;.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bolton.gov.uk">Bolton Council</a> paid out more than £400,000 in injury compensation claims last year, The Bolton News can reveal.</p>
<p>The payouts, uncovered following a Freedom of Information request, are made up of a string of claims made by members of the public amounting to £360,000 as well as £50,000 compensation awarded to council staff.</p>
<p><strong></strong>
<p>The council made 71 payouts to Bolton residents, ranging from £850 to £27,000, for slips, trips and falls on council footpaths and pavements. One of the payments was for an accident involving a child.</p>
<p>There were a further 15 payments made to council employees, including teachers and school staff, ranging from £1,000 to £13,750.</p>
<p>Accidents included a fall from a chair, slipping on polythene wrapping, a trip on a pothole and someone who tripped over a picnic table. One woman worker received £13,750 for a fall in a car park while another member of staff was awarded £4,500 after injuring his back while caring for someone.</p>
<p>The previous year, almost £600,000 in compensation was paid out to people who tripped and fell on pavements, but this was a reduction of more than £200,000 for 2008/09, when <a href="http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/search/?search=Bolton+Council">Bolton Council</a> paid out £804,124.</p>
<p>The council says it does not pay out on 75 per cent of claims it receives.</p>
<p>The council stated it paid out early on claims where it believes it is responsible to avoid costly legal battles.</p>
<p>A spokesman added: “If we think the case is defendable then we will not pay out and contest the claim in court.”</p>
<p>Nearly £2 million is currently being invested in the borough’s road network, but the council said the claims relating to potholes were not a significant proportion.</p>
<p>The TaxPayers’ Alliance blamed a growing “compensation culture” in the UK.</p>
<p>Research director John O’Connell said: “Taxpayers will be shocked to hear what huge sums are being paid out. Sadly there is a growing compensation culture and while some claims are unavoidable, it’s disappointing that big payments are often made for seemingly little more than everyday accidents, wasting taxpayers’ cash and making council staff paranoid about carrying out their <a href="http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/jobs">jobs</a>.”</p>
<p>Personal injury specialist Michael Hardacre, Partner at Manchester law firm Pannone, said there is no such thing as a compensation culture.</p>
<p>He said: “Try telling the widow of someone who has just died from asbestos related cancer that she is a greedy compensation seeker because she is looking for justice for her husband.</p>
<p>“Even on a less dramatic scale, the principles remain the same for someone who slips and injures themselves on a pavement that has not been properly maintained by a council.</p>
<p>“They should also be able to seek recompense from that council for their injuries and very often loss of earnings.</p>
<p>“Over the last few years, many councils have improved their standards enormously and have as a result reduced the amount they pay out in compensation.</p>
<p>Some councils simply take the view that it’s easier to pay out compensation than to spend the money improving standards.</p>
<p>Ultimately the point of claimants having the right to sue, is to hold the failing councils to account and make them do the simple things we pay our council tax for, like filling potholes in the road, more quickly and properly.”</p>

<h3>Who is responsible?</h3>
<p>It is the responsibility of your employer to be sure the safety of the employees. It is up to them to make the workspace of the employees’ safe and accident free. If not, they might easily find themselves settling claim after claim from injured employees. Accidents at work sometimes occur due to the negligence of the employers who&#8217;ve failed to provide a safe environment for the employees to work in.</p>
<p>Employers also need to have an employee’s liability insurance policy, which will help if there is a requirement to pay out compensation for any injury suffered by an employee during work. Your employer has to provide a safe working environment if they wish to avoid accidents at work. The machinery that is used ought to be of good quality. Faulty equipment has to be disposed of. Preventive measures must be taken to prevent falls from scaffolds or ladders.</p>
<p>Employers must take every possible precaution to avoid accidents at work. They must follow all the safety standards which are mandatory under law. They have to employ safety managers or officers who will supervise all the safety arrangements in the place of work. Heavy machinery must be maintained properly. Machinery which poses any danger to employees has to be covered and enclosed in such a way that the machinery does not pose any threat towards the safety and well-being of employees.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Why can you claim compensation?</h3>
<p>If employees are injured due to accidents at work, they can file a claim for compensation against their employers. The first thing that some one who gets injured in an accident at work should do is to record the details of the accident in the accident book maintained by the company. Details such as cause of the accident and names and contact details of eye witnesses must be recorded in the accident book.</p>
<p>If the company does not maintain an accident book, then you should make a written statement about the accident to his/her immediate superior. The employee must be in possession of all of the documentary evidence required by law while claiming compensation as they may have to be able to prove that the accident occurred a result of the negligence of your employer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>What can you do if you’ve been hurt at work?</h3>
<p>Employees who are injured because of accidents at work should consult a good accident lawyer. An accident lawyer will help in making a sure that you get the right compensation claim amount that you are entitled to. Some employers might take injured employees for a ride. In such cases, an accident solicitor who specialises in accidents at work could prove to be very handy. Most accident at work claims are settled out of court. But some cases have to be settled by a court trial. In such situations, the help of accident lawyers is invaluable.</p>

<h3>What is whiplash?</h3>
<p>Whiplash is actually a soft tissue injury and the most typical whiplash symptoms and pain felt by victims in whiplash claims are headache, shoulder pain, neck pain, dizziness and muscle spasms from the arms, shoulders, neck, and lower back.</p>
<p>Some whiplash signs and symptoms can sometimes occur much later, sometimes 12 hours or a few days after the accident. All car accident claims, road accident claims and whiplash claims are different. The amount of compensation you may receive would depend on the degree of your whiplash, circumstances of the accident, just how long you have been in pain, whether or not the whiplash injuries have prevented you from working or doing other pursuits and what impact the whiplash injuries have had on your day to day life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Get medical treatment</h3>
<p>It is also essential to consult a good doctor who makes a speciality of personal injury to receive good medical treatment. If the affected party could prove that their accidental injuries are because of the negligence of the other person, they could be eligible for a settlement. The extent of the whiplash injuries depends upon the age of the person who is injured. It&#8217;s the older people, their muscles and ligaments would be weaker so the severity of the whiplash injury could be more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are many steps to consider with regards to a accident claim. First of all ,the main thing that should be taken into consideration is the extent of any injuries. A coach or bus accident claim usually has three years to be taken to court, so it&#8217;s essential for anyone who has experienced such an accident to pay careful attention to any injuries which they sustained.</p>
<p>Additionally there is the issue of whose fault the accident was. Statistics show that on many occasions, it is the fault of the bus company. Perhaps the driver was working without a break or perhaps there was an issue with the bus that was not addressed or maybe the driver was just not experienced enough.</p>
<p>Always write in your note book or piece of paper the route number of the bus, the registration mark of the coach, the name of the driver, the time, place and date of accident. From experience, bus companies have been in the habit of denying the reality that any sort of accident ever occurred.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Make sure you visit your doctor</h3>
<p>You must consult with a doctor concerning the injuries. Your injuries have to be documented, as well as the impact that they have had on your life. The greater these injuries are documented, the simpler it will be to prove the claim.</p>
<p>Whenever time off work as well as any personal issues that have occurred because of the injury this needs to be accurately stated as well. Anyone who has been injured as well as family members who&#8217;ve been impacted by the accident may have recourse once they seek legal help.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Asses your injuries</h3>
<p>In relation to a bus accident claim you need to first of all assess your injuries. On many occasions, there might be injuries that don&#8217;t show up right away. This could be the case with regards to back in addition to neck injuries. They may not show up during the time of the accident but can lead to further problems later. For this reason it is a good option never to just sign insurance forms when you think that you might have a coach accident claim.</p>
<p>When you do so, you may unknowingly release the business from any obligation they have. How are you affected if, a week later, you are in such pain from your accident that you simply cannot sit or stand? It is at this time that somebody who signs a release form realises exactly what a mistake they made because they are not compensated for this additional and continuous discomfort and might need to take days off in order to deal with the pain.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Seek legal help</h3>
<p>Visiting a lawyer or claims company is a great idea, especially if you have been approached by an insurer to settle their claim. Regardless, however, each time a person has been injured in an accident that is not their fault, it is a wise decision to get the opinion of a lawyer.</p>
<p>The solicitor should be able to review the facts of the case and then decide whether or not it is worth pursuing. He will usually not charge a fee for this type of consultation. If the case has good likelihood of success, the lawyer is going to be paid by the insurance provider following the claim.</p>
<p>The solicitor will be your voice and will ensure that if you suffered injuries from an accident which was not your fault, you&#8217;ll be able to get full compensation you deserve.</p>
