1) Did your accident happen in the last three years? The answer needs to be ‘yes’ to make you eligible for an accident claim. This rule does not apply, though, to claims for illnesses such as asbestosis or work-induced cancers.
2) Was the accident someone else’s fault? As you make expect, the answer needs to be at least partly ‘yes’, if you want to make an accident compensation claim.
3) Did your accident happen in the UK? If not, you could still make an accident compensation claim, but different rules may apply, such as the time limit allowed following the accident for making a claim. The best thing to do is gain free legal advice from a reputable claims management company to find out if you can still make an accident claim.
Many people who are eligible to make an accident claim fear doing so for a variety of reasons. If you think you might be entitled to compensation but are still are concerned about making an accident claim, read on to see if we can allay your fears.
1) Do I need to have money to make an accident compensation claim? The answer to this question is almost certainly ‘no’. In the UK, we have a system of ‘no win no fee’ accident claims, which means that if you don’t win your case, you do not have to pay. If your case is won, any solicitor’s fees and expenses will usually be recovered from the other side as well, meaning that you pay nothing.
2) Do I need to understand legal issues to make an accident compensation claim? Again, the answer to this question is ‘no’. Your accident claim solicitor will be able to guide you through the process and complete any complex paperwork on your behalf.
3) If I make a work accident claim, am I in danger of being dismissed? It is categorically unlawful to dismiss an employee because they have made an accident compensation claim. Plus, all employers are required to have insurance against accident claims, meaning that it will be the insurance company which pays your compensation.

very well written and informative post, thanks author i would also like to tell something on Accident Compensation claim, As accident claims become increasingly popular, the process of claiming may seem more daunting than ever. It's no surprise given the bombardment of advertising that we're exposed to daily, encouraging us to make a claim that the world of accident claims seems more of a minefield than ever. Constant advertising has made us all acutely aware that we can claim, but we're still in the dark about what we can claim for.
Actually, the range of accidents you can claim for is probably much more diverse than you imagined. There's the obvious 'trip or fall anywhere': private landowners as well as local authorities have the legal responsibility to maintain roads and pavements to ensure their safety.
