Personal Injury Questions

What responsibility do householders have to clear ice and snow from their paths and drives? I remember someone successfully suing the owner of a house who had swept up the snow and put salt down. Is it advisable to leave well alone?

I was attacked coming home from a night out. I was badly battered about the face and sent in a claim for criminal injuries compensation together with four photos, having been told that I didn’t need legal advice. But I’ve now received a letter saying I’m not entitled to compensation. Am I too late to take legal advice now?

A year ago I tripped on an uneven pavement and fractured my wrists, which was serious since I am self-employed and couldn’t work for six months. I engaged a solicitor on a “no-win, no-fee” basis, who told me I had a good case. The solicitor now says the pavement was only raised an inch, and it has to be more uneven than that for a successful claim. What can I do now?

After an accident at work I received a report from the consultant which I feel does not fully explain about the disfigurement and damage I suffered. Is there a procedure for challenging the report?

I told my employers that I intended to finish work. Then, four weeks before I was due to leave, I had an accident when one of the castors came off my office chair and I had to be taken to hospital. I returned to work a fortnight later but was told to finish with immediate effect. Although they are giving me notice pay I feel I may have a case for compensation.

My wife has been off work for 12 months since contracting food poisoning at the private nursing home where she worked, and the health department was involved. She has heard nothing from her employers in all this time. Is she entitled to any form of compensation?

Fourteen months ago I fell down a flight of wooden stairs at work. I needed an operation and extensive physiotherapy on a broken wrist, which meant I was off work for nine months, and I’ve recently been told I will need another operation and will be left with a permanent disability. The firm’s insurers won’t accept liability, which doesn’t seem fair since my job prospects have been permanently damaged.

I was involved in an accident two years ago, when a car ran into the back of mine. The driver of the other vehicle died of a heart attack. I was off work for six weeks, but his insurance company is saying I’m not entitled to compensation because he died before the accident happened and he had no previous history of heart trouble.

I had a serious injury at work five months ago and was told I wouldn’t be fit for work again for up to two years. Now I’m being made redundant after 25 years with the firm. Can they just do that?
