Road Traffic Accidents
If you have been through something as horrible as a car accident, you’re probably not going to be looking for the added stress of dealing with a difficult lawyer or being left in the dark as to what’s going on with your claim. At Boeing & Wise we appreciate what our clients have been through and we aim to make the entire process as stress-free as possible for all our clients.
Road traffic accidents are probably the most common or well-known type of accident associated with personal injury claims. Personal injury claims for road traffic accidents can range from obtaining compensation for clients with comparatively minor injuries to, on occasion, claiming for clients who have unfortunately suffered permanently disabling or fatal ones. Common misconceptions about personal injury claims for road traffic accidents is that only drivers have the right to pursue a claim.
We have helped a number of passengers, cyclists, pedestrians and other road users succeed in claiming for their personal injuries, obtaining favourable compensation for our clients from liable defendant insurance companies. If you have suffered injury as a result of a road traffic accident, you can claim. Give our expert team a call or use our free online claim assessment tool below in order to find out more information as to exactly how much your claim could be worth.
Slips & Trips
Slip & Trips can happen anywhere, at work, in the supermarket, or walking along the street. If you have had a fall, most people’s first reaction won’t be to consider pursuing a claim for personal injury. However, if your fall was related to uneven flooring or surfaces, bad lighting, potholes from damages road or pavements, then you may be entitled to receive compensation for the injury you have suffered.
Most people don’t realise that there is a duty on the local authority to maintain the highways you, as a pedestrian use, and this duty is judged to a certain standard. If this standard is not met, then the local authority could be seen to have been negligent in causing your fall, and your injuries. If this is the case, then you may be entitled to receive compensation to assist you with your expenses and recovery of your injuries.
After receiving details as to your claim, we can send one of our expert legal advisers to visit the site where your accident occurred in order to collect evidence for you and properly assess whether or not your claim is likely to succeed or not. Contact one of our team today to find out more.
Employer Liability
If you have had a slip or trip at work due to bad signage as to uneven or wet floors, then you could have a claim against your employer. Technically, this type of claim could fall under the heading of ‘Slip & Trips’ as well as ‘Employer Liability.’ However, it is important to note that ‘Employer Liability’ Personal Injury claims covers a much wider area than just ‘slip & trips’ at work.
We have helped a number of our clients claim against their employer’s insurance policy for injuries they have suffered from not only falls at work but also for back injuries related to repeated heavy lifting in environments where no proper safety measures or training was provided.
Employees should not be concerned with making a claim against their employers or worried about putting their employer out of business as the claim is made against the employer’s insurance policy. By raising such issues and making such claims, it helps raise the standard of care employers owe to employees in order to ensure any injury you have suffered does not happen again to another.
Industrial Disease
Boeing & Wise LLP help many clients obtain compensation for injuries to their health that have occurred due to their previous employment in industry. We have a department specifically dedicated to assist clients who are suffering from physical injury resulting from having previously worked in the mining industry or unsafe factory environments such as hearing loss, vibration white finger, asbestos related mesothelioma or lung cancer and many more.
If you are currently suffering from an illness or condition which your doctor has confirmed is a result of work, we may be able to help you obtain compensation for your injuries. Many clients who come to us express initial worry that the business they used to work for no longer exists or has gone out of business. Even in these instances, you may still be able to obtain compensation as the claim is made against the business’ insurers.
We have helped many clients obtain compensation from insurance companies in relation to businesses that have not been active for many years. We have exceptional resources and expertise in tracing insurers of companies in order to achieve the most favourable settlement possible for our clients. Contact one of our expert legal advisers who will be better able to assess the likely compensation you could be entitled to.
Clinical Negligence
We place a lot of trust in the medical profession. The majority of the time, we are right to do so. However, there are instances where this trust is misplaced, and regrettably, is abused. We have helped many clients claim compensation for a variety of personal injury claims against medical professionals who have been found negligent. We can offer expert advice with regards accident and emergency claims, claims against GPs, claims for surgical errors, elderly care claims, fatal claims, cosmetic surgery claims, misdiagnoses and delay in diagnosis and much more.

However, due to our expertise and years of experience in this area, if you have suffered injury as a result of improper medical advice or treatment, Boeing & Wise are best placed to help you obtain the best compensation possible.
Dental Negligence
Unfortunately unless there is an issue, we often forget how important our teeth are to us on a day-to-day basis. We can offer expert legal advice to clients who are considering pursuing a claim against their dentist for bad dental treatment.
Cases can include those where a dentist has removed the wrong tooth, or provided incorrect long-term treatment. If you have suffered injury to your teeth as a result of negligence from your dentist, contact our expert legal team today to find out exactly how much you could claim.
Criminal Injury Claims
The effects of a criminal injury can be serious, with many victims suffering from lasting physical and psychological damage and distress. If you are unfortunate enough to have been injured as a result of a violent crime or criminal activity, you might be entitled to claim compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) scheme.
CICA is a government funded scheme that is designed to compensate blameless victims of violent crime in Great Britain. The compensation awarded can range from £1,000 up to £500,000 and you may be able to claim for a range of different items, including pain and suffering, loss of earnings, medical costs, personal effects and out of pocket expenses.
