Filing a personal injury claim is
something we hope we never have to do. But as the saying goes, there’s no

You could be going about your normal
workplace routines when you suddenly miss a step-down unguarded stair and break

flying right in your direction, ripping a pound of flesh from your forearm.
Both scenarios would warrant filing a
compensation claim. And since the chances of being awarded full damages depend
on how fast you act, you may be tempted to initiate the process before
contacting an attorney. Wrong move.
In this post, we shall highlight the top five mistakes you’re likely to make when filing a compensation claim without engaging a lawyer.
