Accidents at work
If you've been involved in a workplace accident in the last 3 years, you might be entitled to compensation. From lifting and manual handling injuries to falls and faulty equipment, accidents and injuries can occur for a variety of reasons.
Accidents may be due to lack of training or supervision, failure to provide the correct protective clothing or the negligence of a colleague. Please contact us now for a free assessment of your claim.
Serious injury claims
Securing compensation after a serious injury can make the world of difference. Claims regarding brain injuries, head or spinal cord injuries and amputation can be complex, but our team have a wealth of experience to achieve the best possible result for our clients.
Returning to independent living is the goal and if liability is admitted, we can usually arrange a substantial interim payment to ease the financial pressures placed upon you. This means that you will receive some money before the case is settled to help with your expenses.
Physical, mental or sexual abuse claims
The lawyers at Eddowes Waldron Solicitors are experienced and knowledgeable about these sensitive claims. We are here to listen, help and where possible, assist with holding the organisation or individual responsible.
Slips, trips and falls
Slips and trips can happen anywhere, whether this is out in public, in a shop or on public transport. You may be able to claim compensation for your injury if health and safety legislation and guidelines have not been followed. You have the right to expect that any public place you enter is safe from slippery surfaces, raised paving stones, wires or damaged carpets and flooring.
Common causes of falls include defects on the ground such as uneven paving slabs or something protruding from the pavement. Accidents that occur on a public road or footpath are often the responsibility of the local authority.
You can make a claim if you are in a supermarket, restaurant or shop and you slip on a wet surface or receive an injury from tripping over an obstruction. You do however need to prove that the proprietor was aware of the problem and did not take appropriate action to rectify the situation.
If a trip or fall occurs in the workplace, your employer or a fellow employee may be responsible if your fall was due to their lack of care. Whether you slipped on a liquid substance on the floor or fell over something in a walkway, contact our team of solicitors in Derby to lodge your personal injury claim.
Defective goods and faulty product claims
It is not unreasonable to expect the products that we purchase to be in a safe and working condition, however this isn't always the case. If a product is defective, it can cause minor or life changing injuries. You may be entitled to claim compensation in these circumstances. Please contact us immediately for a free assessment of your claim.
Claims against the police
Whilst the vast majority of police officers provide an invaluable service, there are occasions when this responsibility is neglected or abused. This can result in innocent members of the public being injured or wrongfully arrested and imprisoned.
If you believe that you have been treated unfairly by the police, we have the experience to help you claim for compensation and damages. Examples include wrongful arrest, excessive force or assault, malicious prosecution or police negligence.
Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA)
We can make an application on your behalf to the CICA and represent you throughout the process. Any claim to the CICA must be made within 2 years of the date of your injury. Our experience in acting for victims of criminal assaults allows us to assess the chance of success and achieve maximum compensation for our clients.
Fatal accidents
The loss of a loved one as a result of an accident can be overwhelming. The legal issues surrounding fatal accident claims can be complex, but if someone else was at fault, we can help you. Each case is treated on an individual basis and we have succeeded in obtaining compensation for hundreds of clients in a similar position.
