Were you injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault? Jefferies are here to help you get the compensation you deserve.

Canterbury is a historic cathedral city and a World Heritage Site, located within the county of Kent. With such a rich historical heritage, Canterbury is a very popular place for visitors who wish to see the world-famous Canterbury Cathedral up close and view other sites in this idyllic place. However, as there is with any place or city, there is always the risk of suffering an accident while visiting or living in Canterbury. If you have been involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault then you may be eligible for compensation.  

Accidents in a Public Place  

Whether you were visiting St. Augustine’s chapel or a chain coffee shop, if you were injured in a public place due to an accident that was not your fault, you could be eligible to claim compensation for your injuries. Accidents in a public place cover a large range of different scenarios but these accidents will usually occur because a business owner, public authority or landowner has failed to fulfil their duty to follow health and safety standards or to keep the people in their vicinity safe. As long as the accident was not your fault, you are most likely eligible to make a claim.  

For more information about specific types of public place accident claims visit our accidents in a public place page. 

Accident at Work Claims  

No matter your job role, there is the possibility of being involved in an accident if health and safety standards are not met and precautions are not taken – such as providing work boots if you work around heavy machinery. Within Canterbury, tourism is one of the biggest industries. While the injuries that someone might sustain while working in the tourism industry would likely be less severe than people who work in a factory, you would still deserve to be compensated if you were injured at work in an accident that was not your fault.

Clinical Negligence Claims  

Clinical negligence refers to physical or mental harm caused by a healthcare professional failing to uphold the standards and practices of their industry. Clinical negligence can also include injuries from cosmetic procedures, so it is important to note that clinical negligence does not just always refer to procedures or appointments within a hospital. If you have been injured due to clinical negligence, then you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your injuries.

How much compensation can I get?  

Every accident and injury is unique and therefore compensation is decided on a case by case basis. The extent of your injuries is the most important factor in determining how much compensation you will be owed. However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work.
