What are some common types of accidents that may result in a spleen injury?
What are the common types of accidents or incidents that can lead to a spleen injury, and in what situations might an individual be able to pursue a compensation claim if the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence?
Common types of accidents that can lead to a spleen injury include road traffic collisions, workplace accidents involving heavy lifting or falling objects, slips and falls in public places, sports-related impacts, and physical assaults. These incidents can cause blunt force trauma to the abdomen, leading to bruising or even a ruptured spleen.
An individual may be able to pursue a compensation claim if the injury happened because someone failed in their duty of care. For example, if an employer ignored safety rules, a driver acted recklessly, or a business did not maintain safe premises, the injured person may have the right to claim. In such cases, a solicitor can assess fault, gather evidence, and help the victim seek fair compensation for medical costs, pain, and financial losses. This process is part of a No Win No Fee claim, which ensures they can get support without upfront costs.
