Workplace Accident Claims
Our experienced personal injury team help people who have been injured in accidents outside of the home including in the workplace or at school. We are specialists in serious and catastrophic injury claims.
Employers have a duty to provide a safe workplace which includes providing adequate equipment, a safe system of work, suitable training and adequate supervision. If employers fail in their duties and an employee is harmed, they may be able to claim for compensation. We act for many clients on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis.
We deal with cases relating to a wide range of work accidents including machinery accidents, falls and work system failures. We are experienced in bringing claims regarding unsafe premises and working practices, including where there has been an inadequate risk assessment.
We are also experienced in claims relating to many different workplace types including construction sites, factories, farms and hospitals.
In addition, we act for clients who have been injured during organised trips, including trips abroad. As such, we are able to deal with the additional complications of an accident that occurred outside of the UK.
Accident compensation
Successful accident cases are usually settled by the insurers for the employer or other defendant. Compensation amounts will depend upon the injuries sustained but may include sums for lost earnings, treatments, equipment and new or adapted accommodation. We look to secure funds for our clients to put in place an individualised package of care and support and seek early interim payments from defendants wherever possible so that this can get underway.
Expert accident lawyers
Every case is investigated by our specialist lawyers, led by a partner. This typically involves working with leading experts to understand the injury involved. We consider how it was caused and its impact on the injured person’s life.
We will also provide specialist advice as to how best to structure any award of damages – whether in addition to a lump sum, a periodical payment award (PPO) should be considered to provide an annual amount for life.
We have a specialist Court of Protection Team which can assist with advice, including how to protect an award of damages, and any matters requiring Court of Protection input, such as the need for a Deputy, where a claimant cannot manage their own affair
