Frequently Asked questions
1. Can I claim if I’ve left the job?
Yes, leaving your employer doesn’t mean you can’t claim. Usually, claims are made against their insurance, not them personally. A solicitor can check eligibility and handle everything without conflict.
2. How much will it cost me?
With No Win No Fee, you pay nothing upfront. If we win, a small fee is deducted from compensation. If not, you owe nothing. This makes claiming risk-free. Call us today to start with zero cost.
3. How long do I have to claim?
Normally, you have three years from the accident date) or when you realized your injury was work related). Exceptions apply for children or illnesses discovered later. Speak to a solicitor quickly so you don’t risk running out of time.
4. What if it was partly my fault?
Yes you may still claim even if you share some responsibility. This is called contributory negligence, and it reduces your payout proportionally.For example, if you’re 20% at fault, you’ll receive 80% of your award. Always check with a solicitor to understand your true entitlement.
5. What evidence helps my claim?
Photos, accident book entries , witness details, and medical records are key. The more proof you have, the easier it is to secure fair compensation.
6. Can my boss sack me for claiming?
No, it’s against the law for your employer to fire you for making a genuine accident at work claim. Employment law protects workers from this kind of retaliation. Your compensation usually comes from insurance, not your boss’s pocket
7. Do most work accident claims end up in court?
No, the majority are resolved through negotiations with insurance outside of court. Only complicated or contested claims require court cases. This indicates that the procedure is frequently quicker and less tense.
