1. Do I need to use a solicitor to make a work accident compensation claim?

Yes. Unless your injuries are very, very minor, you should always seek expert, legal advice after an accident at work or illness caused by work. As personal injury solicitors, we will give you expert, independent advice on whether you can make a claim for work accident compensation. We have over 25 years experience and will be able to advise you and help you through the claims process.

2. Will I have to pay anything if I win my case?

No - definitely not. We guarantee that you pay nothing if you win. As no win no fee personal injury solicitors, we can recover our costs from the other side. There are no risks, no deductions and no hidden charges, and you keep 100% compensation.

3. Will I have to pay anything if I lose my compensation claim?

No - definitely not. If you lose your work accident claim, there is still nothing to pay. An insurance policy will cover any costs. We purchase this on your behalf so even if you lose you still will not have to pay a single penny.

4. Is there a catch?

No - definitely not. As specialist work accident claims and personal injury solicitors, we handle all injury and accident claims on a no win no fee basis. However we also have additional safeguards:

a) Nothing to pay, win or lose
b) 100% compensation guaranteed
c) Free home visits

5. Can my employer dismiss me for making a claim?

No. Your employer does not have the right to dismiss you if you make a work accident claim. By law, your employer must have insurance which covers them for accidents at work or work illnesses caused by the working environment. You will normally be making a work accident claim against your employer's insurers who will pay the compensation.

6. I've heard work injury and work accident claims can be quite a hassle to go through?

No - definitely not. The accident compensation claim process should not be difficult if you have an experienced solicitor acting on your behalf. We are here to explain the process and manage your claim from start to finish using our tried and trusted legal experience, making the process as simple and stress free as possible so that you can concentrate on your recovery.

7. How much work accident compensation will I receive?

The amount you receive will depend on how severe your injuries are and what other losses you have incurred as a result of the accident. As personal injury solicitors, experienced in work accident claims, we will be able to advise you on the valuation of your compensation claim.

8. Are you a claims company or connected to one?

No. We are specialist personal injury solicitors with no connection whatsoever to claims management companies.

9. Who has the right to claim and are there any time limits?

The basic rule is that if some other party is to blame (even if you were partly to blame) for the accident, then you may have a claim. Generally, you must bring a claim within 3 years of the accident or incident (unless you were under 18 at the time, you did not know you were injured, or other unusual circumstances apply, in which cases the time limits may be different).

It is important to get advice from qualified personal injury solicitors as soon as possible so that the evidence to support your claim can be obtained quickly.
