Making a claim can feel complex

We know that making a claim for compensation can feel daunting. We work hard to make it as simple and straightforward for you as possible. We’ll guide you throughout the whole process.

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions about claiming.

How long will it take to make an accident at work claim?

Typically, a straightforward accident at work compensation claim will take 6-9 months to settle. Some will be quicker and other, more complex cases (or ones that go to court) can end up lasting a couple of years. We can usually secure interim payments for longer cases.

How long after an accident can I claim?

You can claim up to three years after the accident, or after discovering an injury that was caused by an accident. If you were injured before you were 18 years old, then you can claim up to three years after turning 18.

How much compensation can I claim for an accident at work?

The amount of compensation you can receive depends on the nature of the accident and the extent of your injuries and impact on your life. Less severe injuries may be eligible for a couple of thousand pounds, while victims of more serious life-changing injuries, could be paid millions.

Will I lose my job if I make a claim against my employer?

Your employer cannot fire you if you make a claim against them for a genuine accident at work. If they did (or tried to) then you would likely have an unfair dismissal claim against them as well. We can advise you on your rights if you’re worried about this.

Will I have to go to court?

Only on very rare occasions would you need to go to court. Just 1% of all our cases end up in court – most of the time the other side agrees to settle before getting that far.

Can you take over my claim from another law firm?

We specialise in taking on cases that other law firms have rejected. We’re not afraid of hard work, and we don’t just take on easy cases – so get in touch if your claim was refused by another firm and we’ll see how we can help!
