At Work Injury Claims, we act as an introducer, helping employees, contractors, and temporary workers access independent legal support following a work-related accident caused by employer negligence.

Workplace injuries can result in physical harm, emotional distress, and financial pressure. Where employer liability is established, compensation may be available to help cover medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, loss of income, and future care needs.

We do not provide legal advice or legal services. Instead, we introduce eligible claimants to independent solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), who can assess the circumstances of the accident and advise on the appropriate next steps.

If you have suffered an injury at work anywhere in the UK, you may be eligible to pursue a work injury claim through an independent solicitor.

Who Can File A Work Injury Compensation Claim?

A work injury compensation claim may be available to:

• Full-time and part-time employees
• Contractors and agency workers
• Temporary staff
• Some self-employed workers operating under another party’s control

Eligibility depends on whether the injury occurred due to unsafe working conditions or a failure to meet health and safety obligations.

In serious injury or fatal accident cases, a claim may be brought on behalf of the injured person or by dependants of the deceased, subject to legal assessment by an independent solicitor.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive For A Work Injury?

The value of a work injury claim varies significantly and depends on the specific facts of each case. Compensation may range from lower amounts for minor injuries to higher awards for serious or life-changing conditions, such as spinal or brain injuries.

Examples, figures, or timeframes are illustrative only and do not guarantee any outcome.

Factors an independent solicitor may consider include:

• The severity and long-term impact of the injury
• Time taken off work and loss of earnings
• Reduced future earning capacity
• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care needs

Any compensation awarded is determined by the solicitor handling the claim and is subject to evidence and liability being proven.

What Are The Most Common Causes Of Workplace Injury Claims?

The primary causes of work injury claims are:

• Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate workspace maintenance can lead to slip claim, trip accident, and fall injury.
• Machinery accidents can occur due to malfunctions, insufficient safety protections, or inappropriate equipment use.
• Injuries caused by falling things, such as tools, equipment, or materials.
• Heavy lifting accidents might result from inadequate training or handling of heavy objects.
• Hazardous substances such as toxic chemicals, asbestos, or improperly ventilated work environments.
• Failure to offer adequate training, personal protective equipment (PPE), or safety practices.

How Do I File A Workplace Injury Claim?

The workplace injury claim process typically involves:

1. Reporting the accident to the employer and ensuring it is logged
2. Seeking medical attention and retaining medical records
3. Gathering supporting evidence such as photographs and witness details
4. Being introduced to an independent SRA-regulated solicitor who can assess liability and advise on next steps

Here at Workplace Injury Claim UK, we facilitate introductions only, we do not provide legal advice.

How Long Do I Have To File A Work Injury Claim?

Most work injury claims must be started within three years from:

• The date of the accident, or
• The date you became aware of a work-related illness

Different rules may apply for minors or individuals lacking mental capacity. So, we help in connecting a solicitor that can help confirm the applicable limitation period.

What Evidence Is Required For A Workplace Injury Claim?

A work injury claim requires strong supporting claim evidence, such as the following:

• Medical reports confirm the nature and severity of the damage.
• Maintain workplace incident logs and health and safety inspection records.
• Witness statements testimonies from coworkers or others who witnessed the accident claim.
• Photographs or CCTV footage can provide evidence of unsafe working conditions or public accident.
• Provide financial records for missed earnings, medical bills, and rehabilitation costs.

Can I File A Work Injury Claim With No Win, No Fee?

A work injury claim can be pursued on a no win no fee basis, which means there are no upfront legal fees.

Legal expenses are only payable if the claim success is achieved, and they are taken from the final claim settlement at a certain proportion. If the case is unsuccessful, you owe nothing, ensuring that everyone, regardless of income, has access to legal representation.

How Long Does It Take To Settle A Workplace Injury Claim?

A routine workplace injury claim, with clear liability coverage and well-documented medical bills, can be resolved in six to twelve months. However, complex situations involving major injuries, disputed liability claim, or long-term medical treatment can take one to three years.

In circumstances where immediate financial assistance is required, interim payments may be offered to cover medical bills, rehabilitation, and lost wages while the claim process is pending.

Can My Employer Fire Me For Filing A Work Injury Claim?

Employees who file a work injury claim are protected by UK employment law, which prevents employers from taking disciplinary action, limiting hours, or terminating employment in retaliation for the claim.

If an employer tries to fire or punish a worker for seeking injury compensation, they may risk legal action for unfair dismissal or workplace discrimination. Workers have the right to a safe working environment, and filing a liability claim serves to highlight safety concerns that may avoid future work accidents.

If you believe you were treated unfairly after filing a claim, we can provide assistance by introducing you to a professional solicitor.
