Your employer has a duty of care to keep you safe from harm
If they fail, you have a right to make a claim. Talk to us today about securing the best claim for your case.
Whether you work in a factory or an office, a construction site or a shop, if your employer has put you in harm’s way, and you’ve been injured, you have a right to make a claim.
We understand the impact that such an accident can have on your life and securing the best claim for your case can give you financial relief when you need it most.
We are experienced workplace injury solicitors. 97% of all our Injury claims are settled and all of our claims this year have settled for five or six figure sums, plus costs. We will give you our opinion on whether your claim will be successful, the procedures involved and the time lines you can expect.
There is a process to every Personal Injury Claim and we will walk you through every step so that you understand what is happening at every point. It can be a very difficult time so we will try to make it as easy as we can for you.
Let’s start here with the things you need to start your claim.

If you can, try to have the composure to take a photograph of what caused the accident. You have the right to a safe workplace and if you have been injured in the workplace, you have the right to claim for personal injury.
A successful claim will provide you with financial relief, but also the recognition from your employer that their negligence has let you down. Make an appointment today or fill out our enquiry form and we will advise you on your next steps.
