Avoiding Common Accidents

Deep vein thrombosis is one of the more recent syndromes which has begun to be investigated by the personal injury claims community regarding whether or not it should be covered under the no win no fee system currently in place in the UK. While it is true that personal injury claims can be made in a wide variety of circumstances as long as proof of negligence can be made by the no win no fee lawyer, Deep vein thrombosis is a bit trickier to prove when it comes to determining who is at fault.

Otherwise known as Economy Class Syndrome or Traveller’s Thrombosis, it is a condition linked to cramped seats on planes, trains, and other forms of public transportation, whereby the lack of circulation in the calf muscles of the leg causes blood clots to occur in the deep veins, which can then travel into the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal. Given the cramped conditions of most public transportation systems and the requirement to stay seated during transportation, many individuals feel as though they have a right to personal injury claims related to DVT.

If you believe that you are suffering from DVT and would like to make a no win no fee injury claim, you must understand that these types of claims are very difficult to prove. Any potential no win no fee injury claim will have to overcome a significant number of hurdles to determine liability, and it will require a considerable amount of investigation on the part of your lawyer to determine whether or not you have a case.
