Understanding your laceration injury

Lacerations, often caused by sharp objects or machinery, can result in severe wounds requiring immediate medical attention. The consequences of such injuries can extend beyond the physical pain, leading to financial strain due to loss of income during recovery, and emotional distress.

Suffered a laceration injury in an accident that wasn't your fault?

We deal with all claims on a “no win, no fee” basis, meaning that if your claim is unsuccessful there are no legal costs to pay.

If your claim for compensation is successful, this can help ease the stress on you and your family. It can compensate you for any loss of earnings during your time off sick and pay for future medical treatment and expenses or any care requirements you may have.

How much you could be awarded depends on the nature, severity and period of time you suffered from your injury, any ongoing problems and any permanent damage. There really is no risk in proceeding with a claim, so why not speak to one of our personal injury solicitors and see how we can help you.

Steps to take after your accident

Once you’ve suffered from an accident that wasn’t your fault, you should gather as much evidence as you possibly can to support your potential case. After you have received the required medical attention, you should take the following steps:

Seek medical attention: Your health and safety are the top priority. Get medical help immediately and follow all prescribed treatments.
If necessary, report the incident to the appropriate authority.
Take the details of any witnesses. This should include their full name, address, and a contact number.
Take photographs, if possible, of what caused your accident.
Find out whether the accident was recorded on CCTV. If so, can you retrieve a copy of the footage? This could be invaluable when proving your case.
Receipts and Bills: Keep all receipts and bills related to your injury, including medical expenses, travel costs, and any other associated costs.
Contact Us: Reach out to our experienced team to start your compensation claim process.

Determine liability

To claim compensation, you must establish that another party is liable for your injury. This involves proving that the responsible party was negligent. For example, if you slipped on a wet floor in a store, you would need to show that the store failed to put up warning signs about the hazard.

What can you claim for?

Compensation for lacerations can cover various aspects, including:

Medical Expenses: Costs of treatment, rehabilitation, and any necessary medical equipment.
Lost Wages: Compensation for any time off work due to the injury.
Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury.
Future Losses: Potential loss of future earnings if the injury affects your long-term ability to work.
Other Costs: Any other expenses directly related to the injury, such as travel costs for medical appointments.

How much compensation will I be awarded for my injury?

This all depends on the nature, severity and period of time you suffered from your injury, any ongoing problems and any permanent damage.

WHAT OUR

clients say

Oliver & Co took on my case against my employer after I was hurt in work. I spent 9 weeks off sick with a trapped C5 nerve. Kathryn kept in touch throughout the claim and I’d say she did an excellent job of pushing this claim to the limit. I would highly recommend Oliver & Co to anyone in the same situation against their employer.
