Pet Insurance & Public Liability – Are You Safe From A Personal Injury Compensation Claim?

Are you one of the million of Britons famous the world over for being a pet owner and lover? If so, do you have pet insurance? If not, you may well want to read on if you want to save yourself millions of pounds….

Let’s look at two, not uncommon, scenarios that may happen to a pet owner in the UK:

Scenario 1:

You own a dog. The dog is out in the garden. The post comes to the house to deliver a letter. In the course of delivering the letter your dog bites the postman.

Scenario 2:

You own a horse. The horse is grazing in the field. The horse is startled, jumps the hedge and crashes into an oncoming car.

Do you know what would happen in both of these scenarios? Well, if you don’t already know, as you may recall from the recent famous case involving Princess Anne, in Scenario 1 you could be liable to pay damages under the Dangerous Dogs Act. Less well known, in Scenario 2 you could be liable to pay damages under a recent House of Lords interpretation to the Animal Act 1971. Either way, you’re paying.

How can you limit the liability you’ll suffer if either of these unfortunate events where to occur? Without some form of pet insurance policy you could not. As such, if you have a pet and want to save yourself from the prospect of having to pay out a potentially large amount of money in compensation damages to a third party – now is the time that you should be considering getting pet insurance.

Although pet insurance is unlikely to cover you for the full costs you that you may need to pay to both defend your self against a claim and also pay compensation if you lose, as there is likely to be a minimum excess payment and maximum cap payment, for a reasonable annual premium payment you can arrange to have cover that would pay a large portion of this amount.

At the end of the day, however, having pet insurance is like having any other type if insurance. Would you go out n the roads and drive your car without insuring yourself against an accident? Would you leave all your valuables at home without having any home contents insurance? Do you want to take the chance that you could be used for million in personal injury compensation without having paid a minimal amount in pet insurance?

Claiming For Personal Injury Compensation For Wrist Injuries From Claim-Easy

For such a small and seemingly insignificant part of the body, the wrist is injured easily and the effects can be far-reaching. From numbness and pain to loss of movement, impaired use of your hands and the inability to work, a wrist injury can cause a great deal of problems. If you have suffered an injury to your wrist in an incident that was not your fault, then you can claim for personal injury compensation with the claims management company that makes it easy: Claim-Easy (http://www.claim-easy.co.uk).

The reason the wrist is injured easily is that the wrist bones are fragile and easily sprained or broken, but also because it is often the wrists that take the brunt of the impact in a fall. In slips, trips and falls, we often instinctively put our arms out in front of us to cushion the blow. This can cause one or both wrists to be damaged and is one of the most common causes for personal injury claims. It’s important that you get what you rightfully deserve if you have injured your wrist in an accident or slip, trip or fall that was not your fault, because the wrist is central to so many of our everyday movements with our hands and arms. With one or both wrists injured, even in a minor way, the effects can be frustrating at least to debilitating at worst.

Repetitive strain injuries are common relatively minor types of wrist injuries that can be suffered at work, whether through typing or on the factory floor. Every employer has a duty of care to ensure that the work conditions and day-to-day tasks of each employee could not lead to repetitive strain in any way. If they are negligent in their duty of care and an employee develops repetitive strain as a result, then they could also be eligible for injury compensation.

The severity of wrist injuries varies widely, from simple bruising or straining and fractures that will heal fairly quickly all the way through to more permanent damage which could see the wrist disabled for life. Therefore, the levels of compensation awarded in various personal injury wrist claims will also vary widely. Regardless of the situation that caused a wrist injury or its seriousness, if it was not your fault then you could be eligible to claim compensation.
