You may be able to make a claim for compensation due to suffering an accident at work.
Health and safety procedures may not have been properly followed or equipment you were using may have been faulty leading to the cause of your accident.
Your employer has a legal duty to ensure you are safe at work. Amongst other things they need to undertake risk assessments; make sure you’re properly trained; provide you with suitable work and personal protective equipment and in general provide safe working systems.
Our initial consultations are free and enable us to gather the information that we require to decide whether you have a claim with good prospects of success.
It is important to contact us as soon as possible after your accident. The limitation date (the last date on which you can take legal action against the guilty employer) is usually on the 3rd anniversary of the accident. There are some exceptions to this which we can explain if relevant. Some simple cases may settle in a few months, whereas more complex cases will take longer.
Funding
We run the vast majority of Accident at Work Claims on a No Win No Fee basis. That means you don’t pay anything upfront, and, in the vast majority of cases, there is nothing to pay if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, your opponent pays most of your legal fees, with anything outstanding (usually only an agreed success fee) coming out of your compensation.

RT @JanetDaby Today I called on the Government to do more to help criminal legal aid solicitors.
Despite the warm words from @MoJGovUK many smaller firms are struggling financially and Tory cuts are making this situation worse.
My constituents deserve access to justice.
