How to claim compensation
for personal injury
To claim compensation for personal injury, it is crucial to establish certain facts. Firstly, it must be proven that the other party acted negligently by either failing to take necessary precautions to prevent the injury or by directly causing the injury.
Additionally, it is important to demonstrate that the negligence directly caused the injury. Seeking immediate medical attention after the incident is vital, and keeping records of medical treatment, counselling, and any related documents is essential.
