Accident at Work Claims
Being injured at work can have serious consequences for your health, finances, and personal life. Many of our clients come to us unsure about where they stand legally, uncertain whether they should take action – especially if they’re worried about how their employer might react. We understand how stressful this situation can be, which is why we aim to take as much of the burden off your shoulders as possible. When you choose us, you’ll be supported by experienced solicitors who offer honest advice, clear guidance, and committed representation from day one.
We’ve helped individuals across a wide range of industries in Liverpool – including construction, healthcare, warehousing, manufacturing, automotive, transport and office-based roles – recover compensation after being injured at work. Whether it’s a slip, trip, or fall, an injury caused by faulty equipment, a manual handling accident, or a more serious incident, we’ll ensure your claim is properly handled and your rights are protected throughout.
Our solicitors handle most accident at work claims on a no win, no fee basis, and under our ‘no hidden charges’ promise, you’re guaranteed to receive at least 75% of your compensation if your case is successful.
How We Can Help You
Our team offers straightforward, down-to-earth advice. We don’t use jargon and we don’t make empty promises. Every claim we handle is managed by an experienced solicitor – not passed around or handled by automated systems.
You’ll deal directly with someone who understands the law and who cares about your outcome. Over the years, we’ve recovered millions of pounds in compensation for individuals just like you, and we’ll fight just as hard to achieve a result that reflects your experience and helps you move forward.
If your employer causes you difficulty after making a claim – whether by treating you unfairly or threatening your job – we can also help. There are legal protections in place for injured workers, and if you’ve been treated poorly, we may be able to take action on your behalf. For example, if your injury amounts to a disability under the Equality Act, your employer may have a duty to make reasonable adjustments so you can continue working.
The Workplace Accident Claims Process
Making a personal injury claim may feel daunting, but you won’t be alone. Our solicitors manage every step, including:
- Taking detailed instructions from you and helping you understand your funding options
- Gathering evidence such as accident reports, CCTV, photos, medical records and witness statements
- Notifying your employer or their insurer of the claim
- Seeking an early admission of liability and requesting interim payments for things like treatment or rehabilitation
- Obtaining medical and expert evidence to support your case
- Issuing court proceedings if necessary, including preparing legal documents
- Negotiating settlements and attending trial if required
At every stage, you’ll be kept informed and supported. Our legal experience means we know how to secure the best outcomes – not just financially, but in terms of ensuring your recovery and any long-term support you might need.
What Can You Claim Compensation For?
Workplace accident compensation is designed to reflect the full impact of your injury. This may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Lost earnings (including future earnings if your ability to work is affected)
- Medical costs and ongoing treatment
- Travel costs
- Care and assistance, whether provided by professionals or family
- Adaptations to your home or vehicle if needed
Each case is different. We’ll take time to understand how the injury has affected you so we can accurately present your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to make a claim?
In most cases, you must issue Court proceedings in your claim within three years of the date of the accident or the date you became aware of your injury. We recommend getting legal advice as early as possible, especially while evidence and witness recollections are still fresh.
Can I claim if I’m a part-time, agency or temporary worker?
Yes. All workers are entitled to a safe working environment, regardless of employment status. If you were injured due to negligence, poor training, or unsafe conditions, we can advise you on your options.
What if I’ve already gone back to work – can I still claim?
Yes. Many of our clients return to work while their claim is ongoing. Your right to claim doesn’t depend on whether you’re still off work. We’ll assess the financial and personal impact of your injury regardless.
Will my employer be angry if I claim against them?
We understand this worry, but it’s important to remember that your employer is legally required to have insurance to cover personal injury claims. In most cases, it’s the insurer who pays the compensation – not your employer personally. You also have legal protections against unfair treatment or dismissal if you have qualifying service.
Do I need to go to court?
Most claims settle before trial, but if a trial becomes necessary, we’ll prepare thoroughly and support you every step of the way. We work with highly experienced barristers to make sure your case is presented clearly and professionally.
