Accident at Work Claims

A ‘duty of care’ is a legal obligation. All employers have a duty of care towards their employees and are therefore required by law to ensure they
provide a safe working environment. Should they fail to provide such a workplace, they could be held responsible for any accidents or injuries
sustained by their employees whilst at work.

You could make a claim if you have been injured at work as a direct result of your employers neglecting to follow Health and Safety laws.
By law, employers must carry out regular machinery tests, provide adequate safety equipment or inform their employees of potential dangers in the
workplace and how to avoid them.

Whatever the set of hazards a working environment may contain, an employer must be seen to make every effort to protect their staff from danger.
If their negligence results in you being injured, you may be entitled to compensation. It’s also worth knowing that it is perfectly within your
rights to make such a claim.

How do I make a claim?

The first thing you need to do is provide us with some of the basic information about you and your injury, this allows us to quickly allocate your details to one of our experienced claims partners, who will give you a call to discuss your claim and establish the nature and severity of your injury. If a claim is established the claims company will recommend a specialist solicitor who is experienced in your injury type. If you decided to go ahead with making your claim the representing solicitors will typically charge you a success fee of 25% plus VAT from the amount recovered, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be more or less than this, in some cases a termination fee may apply if you decide to cancel the case outside your statutory cooling off period for example hours worked on the file, time on telephone calls, letter, payment for DVLA search, etc.
You are not charged for the enquiry service we provide; we receive a fee from our claims partner which you are allocated. You are under no obligation to use our enquiry service and can instruct your own independent claims company or a solicitor.
