PRLog (Press Release) –
Mar 31, 2008 – Learning from our mistakes seems to be the way of life sometimes. So, what happens when an accident occurs and is never reported. Do we allow the risk of the accident occurring again to someone else? Is it not the case we have an obligation to avoid causing harm to others.
Understanding that the claim process is not only there to provide compensation but also stops similar instances from happening again – lessons learned - provides safer environments for everybody. Failing to act after an accident allows for the probability of a similar accident happening to someone else.
Aman Johal, Partner at 'Your Lawyers' who have on-line presence at
http://www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk, says, “Within the injury claim process lessons can be learnt by the other party as we write off a letter detailing exactly what the other party has done wrong, (e.g. breaches of regulations etc)”.
“This Letter of Claim also puts the other party on notice about how there systems and procedures could be made safer.” Says Mr Johal. “In most cases gets them to reconsider there working practices and encourages them to adopt a much safer system of working which in turn should help reduce the number of accident related incidents that occur.”
Its estimated that there are around 2.5 million accidents in the UK every year. Less than a third of that figure actually seek some form of compensation for there injury. How many accidents could have been avoided by a simple report of the incident to the proper authorities and making our environment a safer place for all.
