Compensation for perforated bowels? Accidents arising from slips, trips and falls are often perceived as trivial, and an example of the “compensation culture.” In reality, a high proportion of such accidents involve serious injury. All public and private organisations owe a duty of care to ensure all visitors to premises are safe. Local Authorities are also under a duty to ensure that pavements and public highways are in a safe condition for public use. If you would like more information on making a claim for compensation then please get in touch with First Personal Injury.
Compensation claims for dog bites involve making a claim against the owner of the dog. Often, the owner is in a position to prevent their dog from biting members of the public. In some cases, particularly if the dog in question is particularly dangerous, the owner of the dog may have third party liability insurance in place to protect them against a compensation claim. If they do not have insurance, you may be able to make a claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) if the dog is considered a ‘Dangerous Dog’ or the dog was deliberately set upon you.

Accidents that involve children are extremely distressing for parents and/or carers (and, of course, the child in question). More often than not the injuries suffered by the child are of a serious nature. However, some personal injury claims involve more minor injuries like fractures or scarring. A child can, of course, be injured almost anywhere and at any time. However, there are certain environments in which accidents are more likely to occur. Below are some of the most common scenarios for accidents involving children: Accidents in schools e.g. a teacher has been negligent in providing first aid treatment to a child who has been injured on school premises, Accidents in nurseries e.g. a toddler has been hurt in an accident because there were no proper health and safety precautions put in place to prevent risks.
