In order to obtain compensation for personal injury, someone else has to be at least partially to blame for the accident.In order to make a claim, you need to know which person or persons are responsible for your injuries. Even if you do not know their exact identity (perhaps it is the local authority to blame), it may still be possible to proceed. Equally it may not matter that you yourself are partly to blame, provided that you as claimant can prove that the other party was in some way to blame for the accident.
