The Most commonly filed Accident Claims in the UK
Accidents can occur no matter how hard you try to be safe. It is important that you know the different
situations that entitle you for an accident claim even if it may be the least consolation for the damages
done. This is for you to make up for your loss of property or the most feared – loss of life.
So in what situations are you permitted to seek compensation for your injuries? Here are the four accident claims most commonly filed in the UK.

Accident in the Workplace and compensation claims
Employers today ensure that safety guidelines are in place yet accidents are still inevitable in the workplace.
The severity of the injuries caused by these accidents may range from minor cuts and sprains, to major pains
such as amputations, severe burns form chemicals, and worst, loss of life.
If you are unlucky to encounter such misfortune in the workplace, you may file an accident claim for
compensation. Just remember that you also need to show proof that the accident is caused by the employer’s
slackness. Make sure that the accident is also accurately reported to your employer because whatever that
takes place in the work area is their accountability. Be aware that your employer cannot relieve you from your job
because of the accident claim.
The Road Traffic Accident and compensation claims
The Road Traffic Accident has the highest percentage of accident claims in the UK. This supports the
requirement of the government that drivers need to avail of an insurance package. The insurance policies
protect anybody who may be involved in a crash or other car accidents and suffer personal injury. If you are the
aggravated driver you can file an accident claim and it will be filed against the negligent person. This will permit
you to recover from whatever corresponding costs the accident may bring.
The Medical Malpractice and compensation claims
Despite the advancement of medical technologies, and the increasing qualifications of medical professionals,
things can still be off beam in the hospital. If the medical staff of the hospital fails to perform their legal obligation
of ensuring proper care for their patients and this resulted to an undesirable condition, then an accident claim
can be filed by the aggravated party.
The Accident claim due to falls, strips, or slips
These accidents often happen due to the ignored conditions of your environment. Examples are slipping due to
the wet floor of the mall, and sprained ankle due to the uneven surface of the pavement. You can file for an
accident claim against the person or the organisation responsible in ensuring safety in the area where you got
your injury.
