Accident at Work Claims

At Wolferstans, our experts regularly support clients in accident at work claims, so we can provide clear, confident support through the whole process, getting you the compensation you deserve.

Receiving compensation can make a real difference in your life. It can replace lost income if you need to take time off work, as well as fund any specialist treatment, equipment and care you need. It can also go some way toward making amends for your pain, suffering and any impact on your lifestyle.

Are you owed accident at work compensation?

To claim accident at work compensation, you need to show that your employer or former employer was responsible for your injuries.

This might be because they failed to provide proper training or personal protective equipment (PPE). It could also be because they failed to operate a safe working environment, e.g. dealing promptly and appropriately with any hazards. There are also a range of other situations that could give rise to a claim, so please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Our workplace accident solicitors can quickly assess your case and provide an expert opinion on whether you are likely owed compensation. We will then talk you through exactly what you need to do to make a claim.

We offer no win, no fee funding and the vast majority of claims we take on are settled out of court. This allows our clients to avoid the time, cost, stress and uncertainty associated with court proceedings.

Key facts about workplace accident and injury claims

How to claim accident at work compensation

There are various stages to the claims process. The key steps are as follows:

1. Free consultation with our teamWe will listen to your experience, including how your accident occurred and how it’s impacting your life. We can then advise on whether we can help you get compensation and how much this might be.
2. Building your caseWe will collect all the necessary evidence to support your claim, including an independent medical evaluation and any proof of negligence by your employer or former employer.
3. Valuing your claimWe will look at the ways in which your injuries have affected your life to make sure the damages we seek fully reflect the impact on you. This includes any lost income if you have to give up work or change jobs.
4. Seeking a settlementIn most cases, we will be able to negotiate a settlement with your employer or former employer or their insurer. This will get you maximum compensation as quickly as possible and with minimal stress.
5. Court proceedingsIn the unlikely event that a settlement cannot be negotiated, it may be necessary to pursue your claim in court. If this happens, we will make sure your case is well prepared and that you have the strongest possible representation.

Work accident claim time limits

You normally have 3 years to bring a workplace injury claim. This will be counted from the date you knew that you had been injured.

Time limits vary, however, meaning you may sometimes have less time to claim. We recommend speaking to a claims expert as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss the chance to get compensation for your injuries.

How long does a work injury claim take?

The time to get compensation will depend entirely on the situation. Generally, if a settlement can be negotiated, this will be much faster than court proceedings.

Can you be fired for making an injury claim against your employer?

If your employer terminated your employment or otherwise treated you unfairly due to your claim against them, then you might have grounds for an employment claim. Our Employment Law team can advise further on this.

Transferring your accident at work claim to Wolferstans from another solicitor
