Personal Injury
A personal injury occurs when a person has suffered some form of
injury, either physical or psychological, as the result of an accident.
The most common type of personal injury claims are road traffic
accidents, accidents at work, highway tripping accidents, assault
claims, accidents in the home, and holiday accidents. Indeed, there
are a multitude of types of accident and the term personal injury
also incorporates medical and dental accidents (which lead to numerous
medical and dental negligence claims every year) and conditions
which are often classified as industrial disease cases. Industrial
disease type cases include asbestosis and mesothelioma, chest diseases
(e.g. emphysema, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, chronic bronchitis,
asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic obstructive
airways disease), vibration white finger, occupational deafness,
occupational stress, contact dermititus, and repetitive strain injury
cases.
Where the accident was not the individuals fault, they may be entitled
to compensation.
In England and Wales, under the limitation rules, where an individual
is bringing a claim for compensation, court proceedings must be
commenced within 3 years of the date of the accident, failing which
the claimant will lose the right to bring their claim. However,
if the injured party was under the age of 18 at the time of the
accident, then they have up until the day prior to their 21st birthday
to commence proceedings. Legal Aid for personal injury cases was
largely abolished in the late 1990s and replaced with "no win,
no fee" arrangements.
