Can You Claim Compensation for Being Attacked?



If you have been attacked then you may be able to claim compensation for the damage and stress caused. This can be an important step in moving past the event and continuing with your life as before.

However, when it comes to what you can claim for and who you can claim from, the options are not always clear. That is why we have collated details of the choices you have when it comes to claiming compensation after being attacked.

Before we look at your options, though, it is important to note that the specifics of your attack will have a great bearing on how you should attempt to claim compensation. For that reason, if you have been attacked and think you may be owed compensation ensure you speak to a solicitor as soon as possible.

If you have been attacked your first step should be to contact the police. This could result in the identification of your attacker and their subsequent prosecution.

  1. Personal injury
  2. Losses from theft
  3. Losses from damage to property
  4. Losses from fraud

Child Custody Laws UK: Divorce Child Custody

How Can A Mother Get Full Custody UK?

When it comes to divorce or separation, the main priority is always the welfare of any children involved. In many cases, this can leave parents at odds with each other and unable to agree on who should take custody.

This can result in amicable breakups turning into tense disputes, and in some cases, the court may even need to get involved to break the deadlock.

In many cases, custody disputes arise because one or both parents are unaware of their rights and how custody is determined, resulting in the fear of losing contact with their child.

In this article, we are going to help you understand how child custody is determined during a divorce in the UK. We will also share tips on how you can put forward your best case for custody.

What Are Your Custody Rights?

When it comes to custody, we are really talking about residency. This term refers to the child’s main residence following your breakup.

Before you begin to determine this residency, it is important that both parents understand what rights they have, which typically comes down to who has parental responsibility.

If you are ill for more than 7 days in a row you will require a note from your GP to confirm you are ‘not fit for work’. A GP may suggest changes that may need to happen and for your employers to discuss with you so you are able to return to work (ie different hours or tasks). Your employer could also give you authority to self-certify your sickness in writing. Some employers provide their own form for this.

Fireworks Cause Personal Injury—What To Do

  


As luminously attractive fireworks may seem, they are extremely explosive and dangerous once they get out of control. The slightest mistake in the operation and arrangement of a firework show can put lives at risk of burning or getting injured otherwise. Bonfire nights, wedding celebration. Christmas parties, and New Year celebrations may call for a firework show, but accidents are inevitable. If you have recently sustained any personal firework injury due to the negligence of an organization or an individual, you have to right to claim compensation for your loss by consulting the best personal injury lawyers in Stockport.

Fireworks Categories

Fireworks have been divided into four different categories by BS 7114.  The list is as follows:

Category 1: Category 1 fireworks are also called indoor fireworks as they do not pose any hazardous threat for the users. Sparklers and party poppers are examples.

Category 2: Category 2 are adult fireworks that are mostly used for the fireworks show in small garden parties.

Category 3: These are display fireworks used in firework shows. Both category 2 and 3 fireworks are illegal to be sold without age verification.

Category 4: Fireworks falling under category 4 are also allowed for trained professionals for high-end firework displays.

How Accidents Happens

There are two ways how a person can suffer from a firework injury. It is either due to the negligence of an organization or an individual.



Fireworks Injury At An Organized Event

Organizations that are arranging public events should follow strict rules and safety regulations when arranging a firework show for the public. There should be a proper distance between the spectators and the display show. Barriers should be placed in order to ensure safety. If any spectator suffers from any firework injury because of an organization’s negligence for safety, they will be responsible to pay the compensation.

Private Individual

Private parties have more risks of injuries because small spaces lack proper organization because of which safety precautions are hard to follow. If you are at a festive party where the firework show was displayed and you sustained an injury, the host of the party will be held liable for the compensation.
