If your employer dismisses you because you have brought an unfair dismissal claim, you may have a further Employment Tribunal claim for unfair dismissal.

All employers must have Employers’ Liability Insurance to cover any personal injury compensation claims. Therefore, the other party to your claim will be your employer’s insurer, so you do not need to feel guilty that you are taking money directly from your employer.

Claiming compensation following a workplace accident can help you cover:

• Private rehabilitation, care, and treatment.
• Loss of income if you are unable to work because of your injury.
• Costs directly associated with your recovery, for example travel to and from medical appointments and hospital parking charges.
• Any adjustments needed to your home or vehicle to accommodate your injury.
• Counselling or other support to help you overcome any mental trauma you have suffered after your accident.
• Help to clean and maintain your home and garden whilst you recover.

Part of our role is to calculate your compensation claim. Our Personal Injury Solicitors will refer to the Judicial College Guidelines to establish how much compensation should be awarded.

In all but exceptional cases, an accident at work compensation claim must be made within three years of the accident occurring. If you were under 18 years when the accident happened, a parent or guardian can make a claim on your behalf as a Litigation Friend. Once you turn 18, you have three years (until your 21^st birthday) to bring a compensation claim.

If we can take on your case, we can offer a No Win, No Fee agreement. This means you will not have to pay any money upfront for your legal fees. You will have to pay expenses related to your case. These are known as disbursements and include things such as court or expert report fees. Disbursements can be covered by an insurance product called After the Event Insurance. After the Event Insurance can also cover any Court Order to pay the other side’s costs if you lose your claim.

If you win your case, the other side is likely to be ordered to pay most of your legal costs and our legal fees. We will take a success fee in recognition of taking on the risk of your claim, and the percentage will be agreed in advance. The most important thing is you do not have to take on any risk because if you lose your claim, you will not pay any legal fees, and the disbursements will be covered by insurance.

You can be completely confident that there are no hidden costs. As an SRA regulated law firm, we have a legal duty to be fully transparent with you regarding how much you will pay.

Let us advise and represent you on your personal injury claim. You can trust that we will always be on your side, protecting your best interests, and working tirelessly to get you the compensation you need.
