Whiplash injury compensation is more prevalent in the UK’s cities

18Oct

There have been correlative findings between the rise of traffic in large British cities and the number of whiplash injury compensation claims made in these areas. This had led people to deduce that whiplash compensation claims are much more likely to happen more often in the UK’s big, busy cities rather than in less congested and populated areas.

This type of statistic will, or should, deter drivers from behaving in an aggressive way when traffic is busy and slow moving. Other findings have pointed to the fact that drivers are often less careful in built up areas as they are normally driving at a slower speed and are frustrated because of this.

Why claiming for whiplash is necessary

17Oct

Claiming for whiplash is necessary because it is not only a way of compensating you for injuries that were not your fault but also as a preventative measure against future accidents.

Imagine if you are claiming for whiplash from a pothole in a road; if you had decided not to make a claim, then the pothole would still remain there. This could lead to further accidents, more people suffering from whiplash and possibly more serious injuries. The claim you make does not only serve you, it serves the surrounding community.

Fall from lorry in work accident

17Oct

A worker was injured as he tried to step from the top of a lorry cab onto a ladder. He fell three metres and suffered serious injuries. His employer was fined by the HSE for failing to ensure safe working conditions. In situations like this, where workers are working at height, thorough risk assessment and carefully considered safety procedures are particularly important.

In 2009/10, 24% of fatal injuries to workers were as a result of falls and 58% of these were from a height of more than 2m. If you have been involved in a work accident, speak to Macks Solicitors today.

Dog bites and the law: understanding your rights

17Oct

Understanding how dog bites and the law function can be a bit intimidating, especially to those who are ill informed. This may effect whether or not somebody who has been attacked by a dog makes a dog bite compensation claim against the owner. There are a number of ways by which a dog owner can break the law and this article goes through these scenarios.

The main points to remember is that if the dog has bitten you due to no fault of your own then the owner has probably been irresponsible, either because they are not keeping the dog fully supervised or because they have failed to tame a vicious pet.
