Making a workplace accident claim

If you have been injured while carrying out your work duties, you may be entitled to make a claim. Our specialist solicitors will carefully assess whether your employer has breached their duty of care or have been negligent and help establish how this contributed to your accident and injuries.

Types of workplace accidents we handle

Our experienced team regularly supports clients with claims involving:

• Injuries from defective equipment or machinery
• Slips, trips and falls in the workplace
• Accidents caused by inadequate safety training
• Injuries from hazardous substances
• Falls from height
• Accidents involving colleagues
• Blocked emergency exits and access points

Understanding your injuries

We have extensive experience supporting clients with various workplace injuries, including:

• Spinal cord trauma

• Dental trauma

Protecting your employment rights

Many people worry that making a claim might affect their job security. Rest assured, your employer cannot legally dismiss you for making a workplace accident claim.

Throughout the process, we will work directly with your employer’s insurers, not your employer directly, which allows you to maintain positive workplace relationships.

Our integrated Employment Law team is also on hand to address any concerns about your working relationship.

Time limits for making a claim

While you have three years from the date of your accident to begin legal proceedings, we recommend seeking advice as early as possible. This gives us time to thoroughly prepare your case and gather essential evidence.
