Serious Injury at Work: What Are Your Legal Options?

A serious injury at work can change your life in an instant. You may be dealing with pain, hospital appointments, time away from work, lost earnings and uncertainty about whether you’ll be able to return to work. In the most serious cases, a workplace injury can lead to long-term disability, or a need for ongoing treatment, which can bring major changes to your day-to-day life.

What Is Family Mediation?

When a relationship breaks down, the thought of going to court to protect your interests can be overwhelming. The fear that matters will be contentious and that court proceedings will be the only option may even affect your decision to pursue a divorce or the dissolution of a civil partnership. However, it's important to understand that going to court is not the only way to resolve matters regarding finances, child arrangements or practical decisions for your separation.

Can I Claim Compensation for a Serious Accident at an Amusement Park?

Theme park operators have a legal responsibility to keep you safe. The law sets out a strict duty of care in the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, which means that an amusement park's owners, operators and staff must take reasonable steps to ensure the premises are safe. This includes everything from fixing broken paths and securing heavy items to testing and verifying the safety of rides. If they ignore a hazard, they breach their duty and any injuries caused by this failure may give rise to a personal injury claim, including claims for serious or life-changing injuries.
