Accidents at Work

These are a common occurrence and we have dealt with many a successful case. 

It is important to keep a record of all the facts – how/why the accident happened and get a statement from any witnesses. It is also important that the employer makes a suitable record of the accident in the appropriate records and that you retain a copy of that note.

Questions and Answers

• If I am involved in an accident and sustain an injury what should I do?
• Make sure you make a note of all the facts such as the date, time, how/why it happened. Photographs, if appropriate, will help. If the Police are involved, details of the report and hospital/doctors reports are also important. Contact us as soon as possible if you wish to make a claim.

• How much will my claim cost?
• Your solicitors will review the evidence which will be completed free of charge.

• How much compensation will I get?
• This will depend on the severity of your injuries and the amount of money you will lose (wages/extra travelling costs/medical help) as a result of the accident. Any future disability, pain or distress will also be assessed. Your solicitor will be able to give you a broad outline of the level of compensation you may receive at the outset after having assessed the facts.
