Fairplay: Accident C - Accidents at Work - Personal Injury Claims

Accident claims happen everyday but have you ever wondered about who actually pays? Read on to find out more.

Are you looking to find out more about the accident claims procedure before you go ahead with your accident claim? Then you have certainly come to the right place. Here we have a closer look at a very important part of the accident claims process: compensation.

There are a range of circumstances when you may decide to pursue an accident claim, the most common of which include:

• Road traffic accidents

• Accidents at work

• Slips and trips

• Medical negligence

In each of these circumstances a successful claim will result in you receiving compensation. But the question is: who actually pays this money?

The answer is that in the majority of accident claims it is the defendant’s insurance company which actually ends up paying the compensation. This is because most of the time the individual or body responsible for the accident protects themselves from accident claims through insurance.

This means that most of the time the other driver involved in the same traffic accident as you will have motor insurance, the company you work for will be fully insured, the landowner will almost certainly have public liability insurance and the negligent medical staff will also be fully covered by their insurance. The result is that compensation awarded to you will normally be paid directly by the insurance company itself rather than through the individual.
