Car Accident
Lawyers4you are one of the UK's leading road traffic accident compensation specialists. We help those who've suffered an injury through no fault of their own to claim the compensation they deserve.
So if you have been injured in a road traffic accident that wasn't your fault, as a driver, passenger, motorcyclist, cyclist, pedestrian or in any way, we are here to help you claim the compensation you deserve. Even if the driver at fault was not insured, you may still be able to claim compensation. If you are not sure who was responsible for the accident, don't worry, a claims specialist will provide free advice and a no-obligation assessment of your claim. In addition to compensation for personal injury, a claim can also be made for loss of earnings, damaged possessions and any other financial losses incurred due to the accident.
Whiplash is a common term used to describe an injury that primarily affects the neck and back and occurs when the head is jolted suddenly away from the body with force and the muscles and soft tissues around the neck and spine are stretched. Unfortunately many people suffer from whiplash injuries after being involved in a road traffic accident.
Work
If you've been injured in an accident at work you could be entitled to compensation.
Your employer has a duty of care to enable you to do your job safely. This includes providing a safe working environment, proper training, protective clothing and the regular maintenance of machinery and equipment. If any of these have been ignored then you need to talk to us now.
Any money awarded to you would be paid by your employer's insurance company, and not by your employer.
Your employer must by law have insurance to cover this.
Slip, Trip or Fall
Many Slips or Trips occur in public places such as uneven pavements, supermarket floors, and Leisure centres or even in a Hotel.
If you have been injured in a public place, and it wasn’t your fault then you could be entitled to make a compensation claim.

Faulty Product
Whenever a product is sold to consumers, it must be safe for its intended use. The Consumer Protection Act 1987 states that if a product causes personal injury, and the injury was not due to misuse, the person injured has the legal right to make a compensation claim against the manufacturer or retailer responsible. This means that a compensation claim can be made even if the person injured did not buy the faulty product.
If you’ve been injured as a result of using a faulty or unsafe product, you could be entitled to make a defective product compensation claim. Lawyers4you solicitors are experts in defective product claims, and can help take the stress out of claiming the compensation you deserve.
What’s more, claiming is risk-free. Your claim will be handled on a no win no fee basis, meaning if for some reason you are unsuccessful, you don’t pay a penny.
Holiday Accident
Tour operators are responsible for making sure all accommodation is safe and hygienic and that guests are not exposed to any risks during their holiday. If this duty of care has been broken, any customer suffering personal injury, distress, loss or damage abroad may well have a valid claim against their tour operator in the UK.
Of course, you can only claim if your holiday is part of a package and Lawyers4you can put you in touch with specialist solicitors who have experience in dealing with these sorts of claims.
Criminal Injury
If you have suffered an injury as a victim of crime, you have a right to claim compensation. Lawyers4you can help if you have been the victim of criminal injury by guiding you through your compensation claim and helping you find the right rehabilitation and support for your injury.
Medical Negligence
Hundreds of thousands of people are treated by doctors, dentists, nurses and other health care workers every year. Fortunately, the standard of healthcare in this country is usually high and we can trust our health professionals. However, sometimes things do go wrong. If this has happened to you or a loved one, Lawyers4you can help.
