What Can I Claim For?

In order to claim compensation, also known as damages, in respect of a personal injury or illness, it must have occurred due to the negligence or the breach of a statutory duty of another person or organisation. For example your injury may have been caused by an avoidable accident at work, a road accident caused by another driver, an accident on public property due to a dangerous defect, a faulty product or perhaps by medical negligence.  You may even be suffering an industrial disease following exposure to hazardous substances through the negligence of your employer.

In any personal injury claim it is necessary to show that the person you are making a claim against owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty of care (were negligent or failed to comply with a statutory obligation), and that the injury you sustained was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of that negligence or breach of duty.

In every case, medical evidence will be required. Detailed expert evidence is often also required in disease cases to show that the condition suffered by a claimant was caused by exposure to a particular substance.
