Whilst out shopping I was knocked to the ground and injured my knee badly. As a consequence Ive been off work for days. Is there any way I can recoup my lost earnings?
In order to establish whether or not you would be entitled to claim for the incident, it is important to establish the circumstances behind your fall. If someone deliberately pushed you to the ground and you have been a victim of a crime, it may be possible for you to claim compensation for your knee injury. If you were knocked to the ground by accident when bumping into someone, this is a genuine accident and it would be very difficult to establish that someone was at fault. If you call however, we can run though what actually happened and consider further whether there is a way to recover the earnings you have lost.
