If you’ve been injured in an accident in the office, you may have a claim for compensation.
According to the Health and Safety Executive, in 2018/19 there were 4.7 million working days lost, due to workplace injury.
Common office accidents include:
Repetitive strain injury is also a common injury, as are other musculoskeletal conditions relating to posture, back and neck.
Thankfully, most incidents are not major, and sufferers make a full recovery. But if the accident could have been prevented, your employer may be negligent in their duty of care to you.
Making a claim could give you the financial compensation you need to reduce some of the money worries you might face when having to take time off work to recover.
Our accident at work solicitors have years of experience in making these kinds of claim. They will build a case and guide you through the process to help you achieve maximum compensation. We also offer a No Win No Fee service.
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Our No Win No Fee solicitors will take a success fee from the compensation you are awarded for a successful claim in the form of a percentage of your damages. This could be up to 25% but it won't be more than that, except in cases of road traffic accidents. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 30% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident claims.
