WHAT IS A SLIP ACCIDENT?

After speaking to one of our shopping centre accident claims specialists we will put you through to one of our expert solicitors, they will discuss the claim further with you and will answer any questions you may have, the No Win No fee agreement will be explained to you in simple terms and your claim will then be set up. Your solicitor will then make contact with the company responsible and initiate the claim. The solicitor will keep you updated throughout the claim process, until the claim has been settled and you are satisfied with the outcome.

Every case is different, there are a number of factors that affect the time it takes to settle a shopping centre accident injury claim, a few are mentioned below :

The circumstances of the accident

Whether the identity of the third party is known

How long it takes to gather all medical evidence

The type and length of injuries sustained

Whether the at fault party accepts liability

In general, the more severe your slip and fall injury is, and length of suffering, the higher amount of compensation you can expect to receive.

The more severe the injuries, the more compensation you can expect to receive, this is partly due to the affect it would have had on your lifestyle, social life, work, and in some cases personal relationships. But don’t worry we are here to support and assist you, to get the right help at the right time, this would include private physiotherapists, and professional medical experts.

General damages is the amount awarded for the pain and suffering following an accident, in Scotland this is known as Solatium, interestingly the word Solatium is derived from Latin. Please refer to the Personal Injury Calculator below to see the level of compensation you could expect to receive for Solatium

Following a slip related accident you may have incurred additional expenses as a result of the accident, this might include things like damage sustained to your property, clothing, along with transport costs for medical treatment. As all these expenses have incurred as a result of the accident, Hamilton Douglas Legal can recover these costs for you, we strongly advise you to keep all your receipts for your expenses, as these costs may be reimbursed by the third party.

If you have been involved in slip related accident and suffered injury, you may have to take time off work to help with your recovery, unfortunately in some cases this could lead to a loss or a reduction in wages and/or loss of overtime, in turn this could lead to financial hardship and have an effect on your quality of life, we can help you recover all your loss of earnings from the at fault party as this is your legal right, even if the at fault party was your employer.
