Claims against an Employer

Having an injury caused at work can often be disastrous particularly when it is through active and labour-based work. The injuries can be significant and the ability to return to the place where it occurred and carry on the work can be both traumatic and physically difficult.  

The cause of the incident and the injuries, the type of work you were doing and trying to get back to varies hugely case on case. There is no standard path when it comes to recovery from such an injury but the stress involved trying to get back to work can be enormous. In the worst cases, you may be in a position where you are not going to be able to return to the work you were doing before or at least not to the same degree.   

How can we help you? 

We have a huge breadth of knowledge and experience at all levels when it comes to these types of claims. Spending a little time to reflect with you on the nature of your condition and impact on your life as a starting point, helps us to help you ensure that we can progress your claim in a way that focuses on maximising your quality of life.  Our work will often involve not just progressing the claim legally but also looking to secure interim payments and/or support from the Defendant with a rehabilitation package so that we can help you to starting regaining your life as far as possible and hopefully returning to your work in full.  

We also appreciate that sometimes staying with your employer after an injury has been caused can in itself add strain to the relationship with your colleagues, managers and peers. Sometimes this relationship can be maintained and you can continue but we also know that it can sometimes breakdown and become difficult. We can advise on these difficulties and how to best work around them if needed. If things get particularly complicated or progress into their own legal issues, we can also refer you to our specialist Employment team to ensure you get the best advice and support on this.
