Many people are reluctant to claim against their employers and for a variety of reasons. They miss out needlessly because they did not seek the right advice.
You are claiming against their insurers. Your employer has paid their insurance premium and any compensation is therefore paid by this insurance and not coming out of your employer’s funds. Employers cannot penalise you for making a claim or discriminate against you because of your injury.
There are laws to protect your employment rights and our solicitors will ensure your interests are fully protected, by taking action you may prevent someone else suffering a similar injury in the future. You may be entitled to compensation even if you are paid your earnings while you are off work following an injury.
We can help you pursue a injury compensation claim relating to accidents at work, in offices, on building sites, in factories, Some other examples are:

Under the Limitation Act 1980, a person has 3 years from the date of the accident within which to pursue a claim for compensation. If a claim is not pursued within this time limit the claim will become statute barred.
