A teenager from Preston instructed Oakwood Solicitors when she was injured during a fall; if you have suffered a slip trip or fall there is a free accident compensation calculator on the Oakwood website or you can speak to one of the personal injury advisors in the UK to discuss your case in more detail.

There are thousands of claims made each year which are the result of a slip trip or fall at work alone. There is an endless list of causes for these accidents both at work or on public premises.

However it is often surprising how many could have been prevented by exercising better health and safety procedures. Sadly the accidents are often caused by someone else being careless or neglectful. The weather and the environment play a huge part in causing risks the winter months are notorious for bringing snow ice and rain into the long line of hazards.

Often a fall can be blamed for other accidents such as burns accidents involving machinery and in some serious cases falls from height. The expert advisors at Oakwood will assess every detail of your accident when negotiating compensation on your behalf; the damages included in your award can amount to thousands of pounds and if you want an estimate on how much your claim may be worth you can use the compensation calculator on the Oakwood website in the UK.

Brain and head injuries can pay out over ?150000.00. Back injuries can be awarded over ?100000. A hip or pelvis injury can reach anything up to ?70000.00. Mrs D was awarded ?24000.00 when Oakwood resolved her case; she injured her hip after she slipped on some water at work which had come from a leak in the roof.

One of the guarantees you will get from Oakwood is that once your claim has been accepted they will work on a no win no fee basis. If your case is successful you will receive 100% of the compensation and the legal costs will be paid by the third party who were ate fault.

If for any reason your case is unsuccessful Oakwood will cover the financial costs themselves. Either way you don’t pay anything.
