There are many types of injuries that occur due to non-fault accidents in England and Wales. Let us guide you through the common personal injury types which can be claimed for a compensation.

Types of Personal Injury Claims Eligible for Compensation

Every day, people all across England and Wales suffer different types of personal injuries, often through someone else’s fault or negligence. You could be going about your usual routine one moment and the next, you are facing unexpected medical bills, weeks or even months off work and a painful recovery. Sometimes it is not just the pain that sticks, the trauma of the event may create havoc in ways that mess up your whole life, your job, your plans, even the fun stuff.

They do not just hurt your body and mind, but also hit your pocket due to lost income resulting from reduced working hours and long-term treatment costs are just some of the real consequences people face after their non-fault injury. This is where RU1NJURED personal injury service can help.

Below, we will break down the types of personal injury claims our panel solicitors often handle, the damages these injuries can cause and how we help you claim compensation that is rightfully yours.

Types of Personal Injury Claims

Injuries can happen in so many ways and each one is different, causing injury to different areas of your body and listed below are the most common personal injury claim types we handle at RU1NJURED:

Head Injury

Any blow to the scalp or skull that causes trauma. For instance, you are on your bike and enjoying the ride when out of nowhere a car collides in to you, or a careless driver of a parked vehicle suddenly open his door causing injury. Either way you are thrown off the bike and your head may hit the road hard. Next thing you know, you are dealing with a concussion that knocks you out of work for weeks.

Brain Injury

A more serious head injury that messes with how the brain works. It falls under the category of serious personal injury types. For example, a worker falls off a scaffolding at his job and he hits the ground hard, landing on his head with a sickening thud. The injury may take some time to stop hurting, but also messes with his memory and focus for months, further struggling with mental health.

Spinal Injury

Damage to the spine or nerves that messes with movement and feeling. For instance, you are in a car accident while driving and the jolt of the impact hurts your spine. The incident may leave you with sharp back pain and limited movement. You will need therapy for months, maybe longer, just to get back to normal.

Eye Injury

An injury to the eye or surrounding areas can mess with your vision. Imagine you are just doing your grocery shopping when you slip, there are no warning signs or anything alerting you to any danger. The slip itself causes you to crash into a shelf and your face hits the edge or an item catches your eye. An injury in this area can cause injury to the eye with the damage sticking with you, affecting your vision for a long time.

Neck Injury

Any injury to your neck, whether it is muscles, bones or joints. It maybe that you are at work stacking boxes going about your day, when a box or loose item falls from above and hits your neck. The pain may be instant or gradual, but causing difficulty in moving or lifting anything. The neck injury maybe becomes a struggle rendering you to take a lot of recovery time to feel right again.

Psychological Injury

Mental or emotional stress caused by a traumatic experience. In some cases, after surviving a life-threatening pedestrian accident, you may develop PTSD, which can lead to psychological injury. In the same way you may be an injured cyclist or motorcyclist, fearing to return to the road and require psychotherapy to deal with the anxiety. In any event psychological injuries may need you to be courageous and engage in therapy over time to recover.

Burn Injury

Skin or tissue damage from heat, chemicals or electricity. For instance, a chemical spills on your arm at work, leaving a deep burn, maybe the protection was inadequate or not even provided by your employer. You will need hospital care and time off to heal as burns from heat or chemicals can be serious and might take significant time to recover.

Shoulder Injury

It is known to hurts bad when the joint, muscles or ligaments take a serious hit. Such as if a careless driver of a stationary vehicle opens his car door on you, or you fall off your bike because of a hidden pothole, or a poorly maintained manhole cover and your shoulder gets dislocated or worse. It may take surgery and sometime for recovery before you may ever have the shoulder injury return to its pre-accident health.

Ankle Injury

Injury to the bones or ligaments in the ankle may make it hard to walk or stand. You may have simply been out taking a walk, when a careless driver collides into you with their vehicle and you are left with an ankle injury. Aside the instant discomfort and after undergoing surgery you are left in a boot, using crutches to get around, mostly stuck at home, being cared for and watching life move while you cannot. Pain follows every step, if you can even take one.
