You have the right to safety within your workplace and with many Health and Safety laws and Regulations in place in the UK, workplace accidents should be a rare occurrence. However if you have suffered an injury at work it is important that you seek professional legal advice from a specialist accident at work solicitor as soon as possible.
Our personal injury lawyers are experienced in dealing with accident at work claims and have helped people claim for back injuries, head injuries, falls from a height, burns, manual handling and lifting injuries and injuries caused by faulty or incorrect equipment.
We understand that you may be anxious about claiming against your employer. Before processing your claim for an injury at work we will ensure you are aware of possible repercussions which may arise as a result of claiming against your employer. This will help you make an informed decision about pursuing your accident at work claim.
We will support you through the whole process and your accident at work lawyer will establish if your employer wasn’t following the Health and Safety guidelines or was being negligent.
You can claim for an injury you have suffered at work if it was not your fault. If you are self-employed or a casual worker you may still be able to claim compensation if you are considered an employee under UK law.
Our specialist team can talk through your situation with you over the phone, or face to face if you prefer. We can provide you with some initial free advice to help you decide if you wish to proceed with making an accident at work claim.
Most employers will have Employers’ Liability Insurance to cover any compensation which may be awarded to you.
We understand that winning compensation can make things easier with some injuries requiring people to take time off work, travel for treatment or make alternations in their homes. Our dedicated team will do everything they can to ensure your life can return to normal as soon as possible.
Your claim may be eligible for a no win no fee funding agreement, which means:

The amount you can claim will depend on a number of factors, such as the severity of your injury, as well as any financial losses you have suffered or lifestyle changes you have made as a result.
