Passenger injuries normally occur when travelling as a passenger in a car, bus, or any other vehicle that has been involved in an accident. You do not have to be in the driving seat in order to make a claim. If you were in a vehicle in which the driver collided with another vehicle, you can make a passenger accident compensation claim.

Food poisoning is much more common than people realise. With the temptations of numerous cafes and restaurants all around us, the danger of contracting food poisoning has increased rapidly. The impact of food poisoning can vary from being fairly minor to very serious, some cases even leading to fatality.

Tripping and slipping accident claims are quite common as members of the public trip and fall on various substances on a regular basis. In order to make a successful claim the claimant has to prove that someone else was legally responsible for the accident occurring. If the accident occurred in someone else’s premises the occupier of the property could be held liable for not keeping the premises in reasonable condition. The main question normally asked is ‘what is a reasonable condition?’ The notion of ‘reasonableness’ will depend on a number of factors. In order to escape liability, the defendant will have to invoke statutory defence, by proving in reference to written records that they have a regular inspection regime in place, and have responsibly kept the location where the accident happened in reasonable condition.
