Everybody has heard of no win no fee personal injury claims and most cases are fairly standard car accidents or slips and trips. However a quick look on you tube shows that there is a large trend in people having more weird and wonderful accidents
Amongst the strange accidents which have been reported is the case of a performer whose set included knife throwing. They sustained a serious arm injury and then made a successful claim for compensation for distress and loss of earnings, against both their employer and the other artist, who actually threw the knife.
Another unusual, and also very high profile, injury claim was caused by something we all have; a sofa. After buying sofas from retailers such as Land of Leather, Argos and Walmsley thousands of consumers then developed severe skin irritation and rashes, which were caused by sachets of chemical inside the sofas. The group litigation for some of the victims had ended in a 20 million compensation payout, but there are still around 3,000 more serious cases still waiting to be resolved meaning this could be the biggest group litigation for consumer goods.
Other unusual accidents which have lead to claims include slipping on banana skins, being injured by a faulty car jack and a someone getting caught in the string and ropes from a paraglider and then falling from the sky and sustaining injuries.
If you’ve been the victim of an accident which was a little bit unusual, then you may have reservations about seeing if you are able to make a claim for compensation. You might have looked on the internet and not been able to find anything similar to your case and think that means you can’t claim, but if the accident was no fault of your own and there is liability with another party then it is likely that you will be able to claim.
Embarrassment might be another concern of yours, as the thought of telling a solicitor the details of your accident may not be a prospect you relish, but rest assured solicitors see that many shocking or unusual cases that your story wont shock them at all.
If you are seeking compensation injury claim then a no win no fee solicitor will be able to help you with each step of the process.
