School Accident Claims can be made if certain safety standards are not met and as a result someone is injured.
School Accident Claims must be made within three years from the date of the injury. In some cases, claims can be made outside the three-year limitation period, however minors have until three years after the age of 18 to make a claim.

Common reasons why injuries occur within a restaurant or on the grounds or car park of a restaurant can include:
- Burn injuries in the restaurant – spilled food or hot drinks can cause burn injuries
- Poor lighting
- Wet or greasy floors, where warning signs have not been placed to alert customers to the problem
- Falling or tripping caused by obstruction on walking surfaces or poorly fitted floor coverings and carpets
If you believe you have been involved in an accident in a Shop or restaurant that wasn’t your fault, please do not hesitate to contact Harwood Solicitors, where we can discuss the accident and advise depending on the extent of your injuries.

Road and Pavement defects can be very common even thought the council regularly monitor and repair. Defects such as potholes, uneven surfaces and cleanliness issues can pose a danger to the public.
Accidents that have been sustained due to this can leave impacts such as severe sprains and even broken bones. These could sometimes mean that victims have to undergo surgery or have to resort to other medical care.
A compensation claim handled by one of our experts will result in the best outcome for your case. This will usually be based on how severe your injuries are. The compensation should help cover any loss of finances as well as an on-going private medical treatments.
