Last year, nearly 250,000 people were injured in road traffic accidents in the United Kingdom, either as a driver, passenger or pedestrian, involving all sorts of vehicles. Road traffic accidents are, subsequently, one of the most common types of accident claims made through claims management companies in the UK. If you are injured in a road traffic accident that was not your fault, there are certain things you can do to ensure that your accident compensation claim is successful. Claim-Easy helps guide you through the process of making an accident claim for a road traffic accident.
Successful accident and personal injury claims tend to be the ones backed up with as much information as possible, but ‘information’ in this context should not be confused with ‘proof’. People who have been injured in a road traffic accident that was not their fault can worry about being able to prove that someone or something else was to blame. But not with the help of an experienced claims management company such as Claim-Easy.co.uk. With enough of the right information from you, Claim-Easy can help you make a successful accident claim. You don’t have to be able to ‘prove’ who or what was to blame; if you carry out certain steps then you can leave the rest to Claim-Easy.
At the time of the road traffic accident you should call the police and, if warranted, the ambulance services. If you don’t call the ambulance services, then you should be medically examined by a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. Many injuries from road traffic accidents, such as whiplash, have delayed symptoms; therefore showing no signs of physical injury at the time of the accident is not necessarily an indication that no injury has been suffered. If you do call the ambulance services, in addition to administering medical treatment, they will make important records about your accident that you may find helpful when it comes to making a claim. This is also the case for the police, who will take down details of how, when and where the accident took place and the individuals involved. If possible, you should also take down the details of the other person involved as well as any witnesses, for your own records.
Filing the proper reports with the police and seeking prompt medical treatment, combined with taking down your own contact details and version of events at the time, can greatly help you receive the accident or personal injury compensation that is rightfully yours.

This is often because they think they cannot afford the claims process, that the process will be traumatic, or that they won’t receive 100 percent compensation even if they win their case.

Every employer has a duty of care to protect its employees from harm while they are at work. It is your employer’s responsibility to ensure that you are given the right training, equipment, working conditions, clothing (if applicable) and health and safety information for you to be able to carry out your job safely and comfortably. Accidents at work do happen, however, even in the safest of environments, so here are some tips on what to do if you have an accident at work from Claim-Easy (http://www.claim-easy.co.uk), the claims management company highly experienced in accident claims of all types.
One of the most important factors regarding accidents at work is the recording and reporting of accidents, regardless of whether you will be making an accident compensation claim or not. Your employer is bound by law to report serious work-related accidents, incidents or cases of industrial disease. ‘Serious’ in this context is defined by any type of disease, major injury such as a broken limb, dangerous incidents such as excessive smoke or fume inhalation and any injury that prevents an employee from carrying out their usual tasks for more than three days. Make sure your employer has reported your accident at work, particularly if you think you may have a case to claim compensation in the future as this may help with the outcome.
In the case of more minor accidents in the workplace, all such injuries, incidents or diseases must be recorded by law in an accident book (as well as serious ones). While this educates and informs employers as to how accidents have arisen to help them prevent them in the future, it is also a valuable resource for employees who can refer to the records if they need time off work or need to pursue accident or injury compensation.
Once the accident has been properly recorded and reported (if need be), it is advisable that you then check your employment contract for details of the sick or accident pay that you are eligible for should you need to take time off work to recuperate. Should you require medical attention for your accident or incident, you should seek it as soon as possible. These records are often particularly helpful when it comes to compensation claims, although they are not absolutely necessary for a successful claim. Should you decide to pursue compensation as you think your employer was at fault for the accident, you should lodge your claim within three years of the date of the accident.
Claim-Easy is expert in handling accident at work compensation claims, as well as industrial disease claims, financial and other claims. The company works on a no win no fee basis for all claims apart from PPI (payment protection insurance) claims, and clients are sure to receive 100% compensation.

If you have to use vibrating hand machinery at work and you developed a condition known as Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome, also known as ‘Vibration White Finger’, as a result, then you could well be eligible to claim compensation for this industrial disease. But how do you know if you have Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome; what exactly is it and how is it caused; and what should you do to ensure you have a good case for compensation? Here claims management company Claim Easy (http://www.claim-easy.co.uk) talks you through white finger claims.
Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) or Vibration White Finger is a vascular injury that affects the finger, hand, wrist and arm. Symptoms include numbness and tingling, mainly in the fingers, and a whitening of the fingers, particularly when exposed to the cold. Vibration White Finger as an industrial disease has been directly linked to regularly using hand-held vibrating machinery, particularly with prolonged use. Jobs that involve using such machinery include construction and road maintenance - any jobs that require the use of pneumatic and air-powered tools. Because such manual jobs often take their toll physically in many ways, sufferers of Vibration White Finger can sometimes not realise the seriousness of having tingling sensations in the fingers, a loss of manual dexterity in the hands or fingers that go white when cold.
If you currently use any sort of hand-held vibrating machinery at work, or you did in the past, you should consider whether you have had any such symptoms as Vibration White Finger is actually fairly common in such machinery operators. Because this is a recognised syndrome, employers have a duty of care to protect any of their workers that use such machinery by monitoring prolonged use and any early occurrence of symptoms. This is an industrial disease, however, and as such can not always be prevented. Awareness of the syndrome and its symptoms is key as prevention is better than cure; although this is not a very serious condition, it is one that can debilitate the sufferer both in the short- and long-term and although physiotherapy and pain medication can help, there is no cure as such.
If you believe you could have developed Vibration White Finger from using machinery at work, you could be eligible to claim compensation for this industrial disease. With white finger claims, it’s vital that you get a medical opinion as soon as you start to notice the symptoms, as medical notes could help your case. A doctor will examine you, possibly over a course of weeks or months to evaluate the progress of symptoms, and then ascertain whether it is indeed Vibration White Finger. If so, the next step to take is to contact a claims management company with experience in industrial disease claims and white finger claims in particular.
Claim Easy has considerable experience in handling all sorts of industrial disease and personal injury claims, including white finger claims. It specialises in making all sorts of compensation claims easy, thanks to a combination of efficiency and expertise. Find out more about these, and all sorts of claims at http://www.claim-easy.co.uk.
For such a small and seemingly insignificant part of the body, the wrist is injured easily and the effects can be far-reaching. From numbness and pain to loss of movement, impaired use of your hands and the inability to work, a wrist injury can cause a great deal of problems. If you have suffered an injury to your wrist in an incident that was not your fault, then you can claim for personal injury compensation with the claims management company that makes it easy: Claim-Easy (http://www.claim-easy.co.uk).
The reason the wrist is injured easily is that the wrist bones are fragile and easily sprained or broken, but also because it is often the wrists that take the brunt of the impact in a fall. In slips, trips and falls, we often instinctively put our arms out in front of us to cushion the blow. This can cause one or both wrists to be damaged and is one of the most common causes for personal injury claims. It’s important that you get what you rightfully deserve if you have injured your wrist in an accident or slip, trip or fall that was not your fault, because the wrist is central to so many of our everyday movements with our hands and arms. With one or both wrists injured, even in a minor way, the effects can be frustrating at least to debilitating at worst.
Repetitive strain injuries are common relatively minor types of wrist injuries that can be suffered at work, whether through typing or on the factory floor. Every employer has a duty of care to ensure that the work conditions and day-to-day tasks of each employee could not lead to repetitive strain in any way. If they are negligent in their duty of care and an employee develops repetitive strain as a result, then they could also be eligible for injury compensation.
The severity of wrist injuries varies widely, from simple bruising or straining and fractures that will heal fairly quickly all the way through to more permanent damage which could see the wrist disabled for life. Therefore, the levels of compensation awarded in various personal injury wrist claims will also vary widely. Regardless of the situation that caused a wrist injury or its seriousness, if it was not your fault then you could be eligible to claim compensation. Choose a claims management company that is experienced, professional, friendly and committed to making the whole process as easy as possible for you: Claim-Easy. Working entirely on a no win no fee basis for all personal injury cases, you can be sure that you will receive 100% of your rightful compensation. To find out more, visit http://www.claim-easy.co.uk.
