Accidents at Work

We obtain compensation for a vast amount of clients injured in accidents at work and we can help you.

Your employer is legally required to provide you with a safe place to work and to protect you against risks of being injured. If they fail to do this, and you are injured as a result, you may be entitled to claim compensation. We deal with all claims on a no win, no fee basis meaning that if your claim is not successful you do not pay any legal costs.

Injured at work?

We deal with all claims on a “no win, no fee” basis, meaning that if your claim is unsuccessful there are no legal costs to pay.

If your claim for compensation is successful, this can help ease the stress on you and your family. It can compensate you for any loss of earnings during your time off sick and pay for future medical treatment and expenses or any care requirements you may have.

How much you could be awarded depends on the nature, severity and period of time you suffered from your injury, any ongoing problems and any permanent damage. There really is no risk in proceeding with a claim, so why not speak to one of our accident at work solicitors and see how we can help you.

What evidence do I need to gather for an accident at work claim?

Once you’ve had an accident at work, you should gather as much evidence as you possibly can to support your potential case. After you have received the required medical attention, you should take the following steps:

Report the accident in your employer’s accident book as soon as possible.
Make sure the accident is reported to your manager, supervisor or foreman.
If appropriate, report your accident and injury to the Health & Safety Executive at work.
Take the details of any witnesses. This should include their full name, address, and a contact number.
Take photographs, if possible, of what caused your accident.
Find out whether the accident was recorded on CCTV. If so, can you retrieve a copy of the footage? This could be invaluable when proving your case.

How much compensation will I be awarded for my injury?

This all depends on the nature, severity and period of time you suffered from your injury, any ongoing problems and any permanent damage.

WHAT OUR

clients say

Oliver & Co took on my case against my employer after I was hurt in work. I spent 9 weeks off sick with a trapped C5 nerve. Kathryn kept in touch throughout the claim and I’d say she did an excellent job of pushing this claim to the limit. I would highly recommend Oliver & Co to anyone in the same situation against their employer.
