Poisoning Compensation Claims allow those who suffered from these injuries to receive compensation for their suffering and losses.
Poisoning can have an immense physical and emotional toll on individuals and their families. If you or a loved one have suffered due to poisoning, whether from contaminated food, harmful chemicals, or carbon monoxide exposure, Brian Barr Solicitors are here to advocate for your rights.
If you have suffered from poisoning from food, chemicals, or harmful gases, you could be eligible for compensation. There are 3 main principles you must be able to prove in order to have a valid Poisoning Compensation Claim.
Depending on the specific incident and the type of poisoning you’ve suffered, there will be different ways to approach your case. The party responsible for your poisoning could be any entity or individual who owed you a reasonable duty of care, such as restaurant owners, employers, or tradespeople.
The first step to a successful Poisoning Compensation Claim is to get expert legal advice. The early stages following the incident are often crucial, as much of the evidence collection will happen at this time.
As experts in these types of compensation claims, we do not only provide legal advice, but can also arrange specialist assessments thanks to our extensive network of medical professionals. These reports will be fundamental to proving the damage you suffered, both to support your claim against the party responsible and to calculate the amount of compensation payout for your poisoning claim. We can build a strong case for Poisoning Compensation based on additional evidence, such as photographs, receipts, and testimonies.
If you are looking for compensation for food poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning, or any other type, contact us today to begin the claim process.
Our dedicated team can represent you or your loved ones with regard to various types of poisoning claims.
Carbon monoxide can be hard to detect, as it’s odourless and invisible. However, inhaling this gas can have very serious effects. UK homes are required to have carbon monoxide detectors in every room, but many don’t, or have poorly maintained sensors. Carbon monoxide poisoning can especially affect those with chronic health conditions, children, and older people. If you have suffered consequences to your health because of carbon monoxide poisoning, we may be able to help you make a poisoning compensation claim.
Contaminated food can turn a simple meal into a distressing ordeal as accidents caused by unsafe food handling practices can lead to severe illnesses. Whether it’s a restaurant, food manufacturer, or distributor, our experienced solicitors will diligently investigate the source of contamination and hold responsible parties accountable. The Food Safety Act 1990 and Food Standard Act 1999 both regulate how businesses must handle, label, and advertise food. You may also report any incident involving food poisoning to the Food Standards Agency
Accidental exposure to hazardous chemicals can result in long-lasting health problems. From workplaces to public spaces, we can handle complex chemical exposure cases and will fight to secure the compensation you deserve.
Legionnaires’ is a severe form of bacterial pneumonia caused by Legionella pneumophila. This bacterium is commonly found in water sources, such as natural freshwater and human-made water systems, like hot tubs, plumbing, and air conditioning systems. Individuals with weakened immune systems, older adults, and those with underlying health conditions are at a higher risk of developing Legionnaires’ disease if exposed to the bacteria, and experiencing severe symptoms.
