According to the BBC, the jury at Luton Crown Court heard that young Mohammed Zaid, who died in hospital on 1^st November 2007, was found following a post mortem to have suffered bleeding in his brain, spinal cord and both eyes.  The Prosecutor told the court that such evidence suggested a ‘violent death’ rather than illness.

The baby was initially believed to have died as a result of a heart failure brought on by breathing difficulties, but the conclusions of a pathologist intimated that the baby had suffered a head injury as a result of shaking or shaking combined with an impact.

His mother, Mrs Mosheen Arshad, denies murder.

Shaken baby syndrome (or SBS) is a potentially lethal form of child abuse. The damage caused by forcefully shaking can lead to damage within a child’s skull.

When children are infants their head makes up 25% of their body weight and the rest of their body and muscles will not have developed to a level whereby they can support the weight of the baby’s head. The force of shaking a baby can therefore cause the baby’s head to snap backwards and forwards, tearing, the still developing blood vessels and causing pressure to build inside the brain.

Consequences which may occur as a result of the action include seizures, physical and learning disabilities and death.

It is usually the result of a parent trying to hush a baby after becoming frustrated with their constant crying. Therefore it is important to try and manage stress and frustration to avoid causing injury to a child. Try and share the responsibility of looking after the child, asking a friend or relative to help from time to time.

The procedure for claiming compensation for back injury claims has just gotten easier and better. Back injuries are never to be taken lightly. It can start from you neck with a whiplash injury and might end with your spinal cord being affected. Sometimes the injuries might worsen with time. Of course with most, the symptoms may disappear with time. But for the unlucky ones, it might be permanent. This might even cause them to lose their jobs. A lot of people have been unable to work for years.

The point is to stress the importance of going for compensation. Many, though badly affected, do not file a petition against the negligent party solely because they fear the legal system. Today going for claims for your injuries has become as easy as building sand castles.

You are eligible for compensation for back injury sustained due to the following reasons also.

- slip and fall due to badly maintained roads, parks and so on
- accident in your place of work

For the first type you can sue the municipality and for the second, your employer. For the sake of a straightforward procedure let us deal with back injury due to road accidents.

When you are hurt in an accident, try to be as calm as possible. Take down the license number of the car, the address and insurance details of the guilty one. Then write him a detailed letter about the cause of the accident – his negligence to begin with. Specify the injuries you have sustained as well as the mental strain. Send him an approximate claim amount you will need to get over the after effects of the accident.

Wait for a response. When none is forthcoming or he sends you a reply stating that the accident was your fault, then it is time for the legal eagle to step in.

Find an appropriate no win no fee solicitor. Submit to him all the evidence of the other person’s guilt. The evidence can include
- photos of the scene of the accident,
- photos of your battered vehicle,
- testimonials of witnesses along with their addresses,
- police report along with the name and badge number of the official who was present on the scene,
- And also your medical report.

You can approach the other driver again but this time through your lawyer. Again try to settle it out of court. Most will be willing to pay up when the evidence is against them. Only a few stubborn ones will take the matter to court.
Whatever the response, your lawyer will take care of everything for you.

So do not hesitate to go in for compensation for back injury claims.

The Ministry of Defence, as their employers, have as much responsibility for their safety and well being as any other employer in Britain. So can the MOD be negligent in their duty of care to the soldiers given the dangerous situations they place the armed forces within?

You may have heard in recent news about the veterans of Britain’s nuclear test program who have recently been permitted to claim for compensation from the MOD following several cases of rare disorders, cancer cases, and their children and grandchildren being born with birth defects (source).

Unfortunately the report goes on to explain that the MOD is currently trying to overturn the judgement in June that could see 3,000 surviving veterans awarded more than £100 million in compensation for their suffering.

The MOD have been further in firing line in recent news – as the government are reviewing the current system in place for damages awarded to injured military personnel, causing uproar amongst charities who have promised to join forces and address the issue (source).

Legislation is in place to allow military personnel who have been injured in the line of duty to be compensated for their loss (source).

But claims against the MOD can be complex and meticulous given the nature of the work the service men and women are required to do. With this in mind, it is essential to look around for injury solicitors that can give you the best advice.

The bank, displaying regard for the health of its customers, announced over the PA system that anyone feeling these symptoms should leave the building, prompting 150 people to vacate the premises.

The first thought when fire fighters came to investigate the scene was that the symptoms had been the result of carbon monoxide poisoning through a leak in the building, but after investigation it was determined that the strong perfume was the catalyst.

In the UK, the Consumer Protection Act 1987 operates to protect consumers from any damage or injury suffered due to defective products. This creates a process called strict liability whereby the injured party can make a claim against any one of the producer of the product, any person putting their name or mark on the product or any importers from outside the European Commission, provided that the person bringing the claim is able to prove that the product caused their injury.

It is also important to note that the person who suffers the injury does not have to have purchased the product themselves.

The brand of perfume which was involved in this situation was unfortunately not identified so, if this were the case on UK shores, it would be difficult for those injured to make a claim.
