What Criteria Do Accident Claims Solicitors Have When Taking On A Case?
There are certain eligibility criteria personal injury claims must meet in order for them to be valid.
You will need to prove that the injuries you have suffered were caused by a relevant third-party breaching the duty of care they owed you.
Some examples of the parties that owe you a duty of care include:
- Road users – Per their duty of care, road users must adhere to the rules and regulations set out for them in the Road Traffic Act 1988 and the Highway Code. They must also navigate the roads in a way that avoids causing harm to themselves and others.
- Employers – All employers must take reasonably practicable measures to protect your health and safety at work. This is their duty of care, as stated under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
- Occupiers – Those who are in control of public spaces (occupiers) must take necessary measures to ensure your reasonable safety while you are using their premises for its intended purposes. This is their duty of care, as set out by the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957.
Should you be able to prove that your injuries were caused by a relevant third party breaching their duty of care, you may be eligible to make a personal injury claim.
To check your eligibility and to see if one of our accident claims solicitors could take on your case, please do not hesitate to contact an advisor today.
