Who'll pay your compensation?

If you are injured at work you may be entitled by law to make a claim for compensation.

Your employer is insured, so your employer is required by law to take out insurance cover against staff accidents.

The Insurance co. covers you! This means that your employer's insurance company pays out the compensation, and not your employer.

Claim Process
1. Fill in our simple form to make a claim enquiry.
2. Our new client services team will contact you to discuss your enquiry and arrange your free consultation with our solicitors.
3. After we review your Insurance Claim File we can begin to build a strong case.
4. Final discussions begin and your compensation is negotiated as a confidential settlement.
5. We wrap up your case with our practical no win no fee arrangement.
