Knowledge
Following an accident, it’s natural to feel uncertain about where you stand. We give you clarity on your legal rights.
Confidence
When you have the right knowledge, you can make decisions about what to do next with confidence.
Choice
You should never feel pressured to pursue a claim when you don’t feel comfortable. With us, you’re in control. Always.
Workplace injuries can have serious consequences
If you’ve been injured in an accident at work through no fault of your own, we are here to help you claim the compensation you are rightfully entitled to.
We understand that the thought of claiming compensation for an accident at work can seem daunting. Please be aware however that any compensation awarded to you would be paid by your employer’s insurance company, and not by your employer. Your employer must by law have insurance in place to cover this.
Your employer has a duty to keep you safe
Your employer has a duty of care to enable you to do your job safely. This includes providing a safe working environment, proper training, protective clothing and the regular maintenance of machinery and equipment.
Unfortunately however, every year thousands of accidents at work still happen.
We are here to give you free, friendly guidance on your options. And don’t worry. There’s no obligation to start a claim if you're not ready to.
What if you were partly to blame?
An injury at work can mean an incredibly worrying and stressful time for you and your loved ones.
It’s not uncommon for an injured employee to blame themselves following a workplace accident. For example, it’s easy to put an accident down to clumsiness or thoughtlessness, when in fact the accident wouldn’t have happened if there had been proper safety measures in place.
So even if you were partly at fault, in many cases you may still be entitled to some compensation.
A compensation claim can be made for personal injury. You may also be entitled to claim for loss of earnings, for personal care, damaged possessions and any other expenses incurred due to the accident.
Interim payments may be available in certain circumstances, our solicitors will always try to secure them where needed.
- Compensation for injury
- Loss of earnings
- Medical and rehabilitation costs
- Personal care
- Damaged clothing and personal items
- Interim payments may be available

It’s best to start your claim as soon as you can
It’s always best to start your claim as soon as you can, while the details of your accident are still fresh. But we understand that seeking compensation is perhaps something that you’ve been putting off. Maybe you’ve been too busy or have been focusing on your recovery. You may not even work for the same employer anymore. That’s perfectly understandable.
However, there are important legal timeframes within which you must start your claim. So it’s best to call us as soon as you are able. We should be able to tell you in one phone call whether or not you are entitled to compensation.
Who pays your compensation?
Making a claim against your employer can feel daunting – for obvious reasons. You don’t want to put your job at risk or jeopardise your relationship with your colleagues. Or perhaps you are worried the company you work for could face financial hardship if you pursue a claim. But there’s a key point that’s important to keep in mind.
Any compensation you receive won’t actually be paid by your employer. All companies are legally required to have liability insurance to cover claims for injuries. So rather than your employer footing the bill for your compensation, the money will come from an insurance company. That’s a big relief for a lot of people we talk to.
It’s also reassuring to know that there are laws that prevent an employer from treating you differently if you make a personal injury claim against them. If they tried to sack you it would be a case of unfair dismissal, while any negative treatment you receive as a result of your claim would be grounds for constructive dismissal. The law is there to protect you.
No win, no fee, no risk
No Win No Fee – simply means that if you don’t win your claim, there will be no cost to you.
Our panel of expert solicitors offer a no win, no fee service. There are no upfront costs – and if your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t pay a penny to anyone. Instead our solicitors only charge a fee if you are awarded compensation. This will be subject to your individual circumstances and may vary but will always be agreed with your solicitors upfront.
Why choose us?
You may feel nervous about seeking compensation. But calling us doesn’t mean you have to start a claim. Maybe you have questions about your legal rights. Or perhaps you want to know more about the process of seeking compensation. We are here to give you free advice that will enable you to make clear decisions. And we will never pressure you to make a claim that you feel unsure of. That’s a promise.
Personal service
