We have recently accepted such a claim which happened in Homebase. Our client was in Homebase shopping with her partner and went to pick up an uplighter which was in its box. After picking it up they continued to look around the store. Whilst carrying the box around the store the client heard no noises from the box, indicating that anything was broken.

When the client went to put the box onto the pay counter, a sharp piece of broken glass which was sticking out of the bottom of the box slashed her left wrist.

The accident was reported into the accident book and the client went to hospital. The hospital diagnosed a deep cut approx 1 inch in length, 4 steri strips were applied and the injury was bandaged. The client will be left with a permanent visible scar.

The client contacted us here at the Accident Advice Bureau and asked for our help in making a no win no fee dangerous packaging injury claim. On all successful injury compensation claims, maximum injury compensation is awarded.

If you are in a public place and you slip on oil or grease which results in you being injured, you may be able to pursue a slipped on oil, grease, petrol or diesel accident claim with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.

We recently accepted such a claim which took place at a petrol station on the A34. It was approx 9.30am and the client was going into the petrol station to pay for his petrol. His work colleague was in the car waiting for him.

The client was wearing flat shoes as he walked up a slope which led into the garage. As he was doing so, he slipped on a greasy substance which he believes was petrol or diesel.

Just before entering the garage at the automatic door the slope is completely smooth and has no grip. As he fell to the floor he put his left hand out to brace himself. He felt pain immediately to his left thigh. The staff in the garage offered no immediate help but eventually fetched the man some water but offered him no medical help.

The man recorded the details into the accident book and signed it. Whilst filling in the accident book the client noticed a similar accident recorded in it, which happened in the same area.

The man saw a wet floor sign further inside the shop and he told the staff they should not only clean the slippery slope but also put a warning sign in place near the slope, the staff ignored this.

The client went to hospital, x-rays were taken and he was diagnosed with a tear to his left thigh, he was given crutches. He then contacted us to ask for our help in making a claim for slipping on petrol or diesel.

All such claims are worked on a no win no fee basis and maximum injury compensation is awarded on winning.

A man wanted to make an injury compensation claim in Oxford after he suffered injuries due to tripping on a pothole in the pavement.

The man was walking to the shops and didn’t see the hole in the pavment measuring several inches in diameter and depth. He fell forward as his foot dropped into the defect, causing a back injury as he landed heavily on the ground. The defect on the pavement had been there for over a year and should have been repaired by the local authority.

This is one of many non fault accidents in Oxford in which people have been injured due to potholes in the road or pavement.

Many of the countries roads have huge potholes which have remained in a state of disrepair for many months or even years.

We would suggest that photos are taken of the pavement or road with the pothole defect using a tape measure when ever possible.
