Accidents At Work Compensation
If you are involved in an accident at work you may be entitled to make a ‘no win no fee’ claim for compensation.
Accidents at work are very common and can happen in any type of job. Your company has a set of responsibilities to ensure where you work is safe and the risk of an accident is minimised. If you are injured at work or whilst carrying out work duties, you should always report any accident or fill in the accident book. This will help with any claim that you might pursue.
Your employer will have insurance in place for accidents in the workplace, so any claim isn’t paid out of your employers pockets. Your job is not at risk if you make a claim.

Violence at Work
The Health and Safety at Work Act has provisions that cover both physical and verbal abuse in the workplace. For cases of verbal or emotional abuse, please see our page ‘occupational stress & abuse’. The Act outlines the duty of the employer to identify such risks and implement measures to reduce them.
Injury From a Fall
Working at heights can present a variety of potential accidents, however, in some fields of employment working at heights is a necessity that is unavoidable. In jobs that involve working at heights, such as on scaffolding, up a ladder or on a roof, safety should always be of the utmost importance and the responsibility for that safety lies with your employer.
Burns Compensation
Burns are a common hazard in many workplaces throughout the UK and can occur from a number of causes, such as fires, contact with hot equipment, chemical burns, electrical burns and radiation burns. Most workplace burns occur needlessly and could have been prevented had the correct measures been taken in the first place, if this was the case with your injury then we can help you to claim burns compensation.
Stress in the Workpace
Stress can be caused by a variety of factors; from abusive co-workers to high pressure to succeed. It is your employer’s duty to provide you with a safe place to work and as stress free an environment as possible
