GENERAL NOTES

INDUSTRIAL INJURIES CLAIMS

As outlined above there are many thousands of people injured at work every year in the UK. Despite massive strides in health & safety in the workplace the potential for injury still exists.

You could argue sometimes that the "risk" of injury comes with the job or is likely to happen to you one day simply because of the law of averages etc. However the law stipulates that working conditions should be safe and all reasonable steps should be taken by the employer to avoid accidents and injury to employees. Some employers do their level best to comply with UK safety regulations and even they occasionally may not be able to prevent an injury at work. However there are other employers who hold the safety regulations in complete disregard and put the wellbeing of their employees at risk. The vast majority of the claims we deal with are from accident victims who have been working in dangerous conditions. These accidents could have been avoided by introducing low cost safety improvements. It generally does not cost a great deal to reduce the risk of industrial injury.

Whatever your circumstances - if you have been injured as a result of an accident at work then you may be entitled to compensation and you should make appropriate enquiries. Find out today what your rights are and whether we can help you with your claim.

DO I NEED A SOLICITOR?

You do not necessarily need a solicitor to pursue an industrial injuries claim but if you have suffered personal injury it is highly recommended that you do in fact instruct one. Employment insurers would be quite happy for you to deal direct with them because they have experienced staff who will negotiate a quick settlement for you. But your chances of a fair settlement are substantially reduced if you do not use a personal injury solicitor.

Your solicitor will advise you of exactly what you are entitled to claim and what level of compensation you should receive. The solicitor will then negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf ensuring that you recover everything that you are entitled to. Do not accept anything less. Read more here about industrial injury solicitors.

WHAT ABOUT LOANS AND INJURY CLAIM INSURANCE?

We do not ask you to pay interest or take out a loan on any insurance that we deem necessary to fight your case. If our solicitor decides that you do in fact need insurance to protect your interests then they will obtain this at no cost to you. 

DO I RECEIVE 100% COMPENSATION

Yes - you do receive 100% of your compensation. We do not make any deductions from your industrial injuries claim because your damages reflect your pain and suffering and belong to you.

WHAT CAN I CLAIM FOR

If you make an accident at work claim for personal injury you will be entitled to:

In relation to personal injury you can claim for - pain and suffering, loss of amenity, treatment costs (most insurers will place you on a free physio program if such treatment is recommended and liability admitted) loss of earnings - even where this is refused initially by the employer - and potentially other items in the case of more serious personal injuries.
