Work Related Head Injury

Head injuries suffered in the workplace can range from a minor knock causing bruising to a serious brain injury. Whatever the severity, head injuries are painful and the most serious can be life altering. Even minor head injuries can lead to headaches, dizziness and problems with vision. Employers have a duty to implement health and safety measures to ensure their staff and any visitors are following safe practices and suitable measures are in place. Most head injuries in the workplace are preventable.

At Injury Lawyers UK we have vast experience in dealing with workplace accident claims and have a history of success in fully securing compensation for victims and their families. We understand that it is not just about the physical pain you have been through. The emotional trauma can affect both yourself and your family not to mention any loss of earnings and treatment costs.

Am I Eligible to Make a Claim?

If you have suffered a head injury in the workplace that wasn’t your fault, Injury Lawyers UK can assess your potential claim. Our experienced team of lawyers will talk through your case with you and help and advise regarding starting possible legal proceedings. We run a no win, no fee policy so you will not be required to pay anything unless compensation is secured.

Fatal Injury Claim

Due to better health and safety standards and working practices, fatal injuries in the workplace are an uncommon occurrence. Unfortunately, they do still occur and when they do, the devastation left behind is huge.

If this fatal injury was caused by an accident that was someone else’s fault, then there may be a case for a compensation claim.

Whilst this definitely won’t be the first thing that the family members and loved ones consider, compensation could be vital in ensuring the family can carry on. For example, if a husband was the sole earner in a household and was killed in a workplace accident, the family he left behind have no way of paying bills or supporting themselves. Compensation would help enable them to do this.

Here, at Injury Lawyers UK, we can take the stress away from making a claim. We are experienced in making successful claims, operate on a no win no fee basis and will deal with the claim in the compassionate and empathetic way it deserves.

Is a Claim Possible?

If a loved one has been killed in a workplace accident, and it was as a result of negligence of the employer or a third party, then a claim may be possible. Basically, any case where the employer’s duty of care has been breached may qualify for a compensation claim

Getting in touch with us is free and we always work on a no win, no fee basis meaning there is no financial cost or risk to you of making a claim. We can provide you with advice and let you know within an hour if there is probable cause for a claim. The last thing you need to be doing at this time of need is worrying about the finer details of a claim so let us do the work for you allowing you to grieve in peace.

Work Related Cumulative Back Injury

Back pain is one of the main causes of workplace absence in the UK. Thousands of people incur cumulative back injuries or conditions associated with cumulative back injury each year.

Back pain can be debilitating and stop you attending work or partaking in normal social activities. Depending on your contract, sick pay may not last very long making bills impossible to pay.

If this back pain is as a result of your workplace activities or environment, then you may be able to make a compensation claim.

Here at Injury Lawyers UK, our team of qualified lawyers have over 20 years of experience in making successful compensation claims. We do the hard work for you, treating each case sensitively to ensure you get the maximum compensation award possible. All this is done on a no win, no fee basis meaning there is no risk to you.

Can I Make a Claim?

If you have been injured and believe that your employer has breached their duty of care either through inadequate training, unsafe working practices or inadequate risk assessments, there may be a case for a compensation claim.

Our lawyers are experienced and well versed in what will qualify for a compensation claim. Therefore, they will be able to assess your case and let you know if there is the opportunity for a claim.

Paralysis Work Accident Claims

Paralysis is one of the most life altering things that can happen to someone. It is defined as the inability to move or feel in part or most of the body. If you have suffered an accident leading to any form of paralysis, the likelihood is that you would be unable to return to that job or work full stop.

Unfortunately, accidents in the workplace are common, but most of them are preventable. Employers have a duty by law to ensure the correct health and safety procedures are implemented to prevent such accidents from occurring. If these standards are not followed or met, you may be able to make a claim against them for failing in their duty of care towards you. This may be something as basic as the necessary risk assessments not being carried out as often as they should.

Any form of paralysis is one of the most serious consequences of an accident in the workplace, so if it is a result of any type of negligence, a claim should be pursued.

At Injury Lawyers UK we understand just how devastating paralysis can be, whatever the severity. Our dedicated team of experienced lawyers always strive to get you the maximum amount of compensation available if we feel you have a case. This doesn’t just take into account the pain and suffering you have endured but also the life changing effects it has had on you and your family. This includes an inability to work, loss of earnings, treatments and surgeries, home alterations, mobility equipment and ongoing rehabilitation. In some of the most serious cases, there may be financial cover for the rest of your life.

Am I eligible to claim for this type of work injury?

At Injury Lawyers UK, we like to take each claim based on its own merits.

Broken Bone

Bone fractures in the workplace are surprisingly common. Whilst they are mostly due to a genuine accident, there are many cases where they occur due to negligence of others or an unsafe work environment. Whatever the cause, breaking a bone can be a very painful and traumatic experience. The recovery times can vary depending on the severity and location of the fracture but in the worst cases, the damage can be life altering. Some broken bones heal easily, but others can lead to further effects such as damage to the surrounding tissues and organs meaning that further surgeries and rehabilitation therapy may be required.

At Injury Lawyers UK we have a lot of experience in dealing with claims regarding workplace accidents. We understand the effects that a broken bone can cause not only physically but also emotionally. The recovery can cause great stress and effort not only on your part but also on your families.

Employers have a duty to implement the correct health and safety measures to protect staff and visitors from experiencing a workplace accident. If we feel you have a case for a claim, we always strive to get the maximum amount of compensation which not only takes into consideration the pain and suffering you have endured, but also the ongoing treatment, emotional trauma, and loss of earnings.

Can I Make a Claim?

If you have suffered a broken or fractured bone after an accident in the workplace that wasn’t your fault, you may be liable for compensation. We would like to hear from you about any potential claim you may have. There is no risk to yourself as we have a no win, no fee policy so if you do not pursue the claim or we are unsuccessful, you do not have to pay a penny. It’s time to get the justice you deserve.

PTSD Claims

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an extreme anxiety condition and is typically developed if you have been through a traumatic experience where you either were scared for your life or extremely frightened.

This includes being in an accident and extends to witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD is particularly common for those who work in professions such as the fire brigade, the police force, the armed services or the ambulance service.

However, PTSD is not exclusive to these jobs and can also affect those in “normal” everyday workplaces if they have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event.

Suffering from PTSD can leave you unable to engage in normal activities such as work and socialising. This is frustrating and isolating in itself but can be even more frustrating if it was through no fault of your own and the negligence of a third party.

If this is the case, then you may be eligible to make a claim and with over 20 years of experience, Injury Lawyers UK can help.

Can I Make a Claim?

Historically, courts haven’t been willing to consider PTSD cases but in recent years, understanding has improved and this is no longer the case.

As long as you are confirmed as suffering from PTSD by a clinical psychologist or psychotherapist and it was caused by a traumatic experience that was due to third party negligence you may be eligible to claim.

The best way to find out if you are eligible to claim is to get in touch with our experienced and qualified lawyers.

Burn Injury in the Workplace

We all know just how painful burns can be. Even the smallest of burns are sore and take time to heal. The results of a burn injury can be a painful recovery, scarring and even soft tissue or muscle damage. In the most severe cases, there could be permanent physical damage, a loss of mobility and multiple surgeries needed.

In the workplace, burn injuries are shockingly common, but most can be prevented. Employers have a duty to ensure that there are the correct health and safety procedures in place to protect staff and visitors as best it can from receiving burn injuries.

At Injury Lawyers UK we have vast experience in dealing with claims regarding accidents in the workplace. We understand just how devastating burns injuries can be. The pain you have suffered and the recovery can be a great strain physically and emotionally not only for yourself but also your family. We always aim to claim the maximum amount of compensation available to you which can hopefully help you and your family with costs and to rebuild your lives.

Am I Eligible to Make a Claim?

If you have suffered a burn injury in the workplace that wasn’t your fault, you could be due compensation. This not only takes account of the pain and suffering you have endured but also any loss of earnings, treatments and future effects of the injury. At Injury Lawyers UK we understand the physical and emotional trauma that burn injuries cause and will help and advise you about your potential case throughout.

Work Related Crush Accidents

Crush injuries in the workplace are more common than they should be. However they occur, the consequences are painful and sometimes life changing. The most serious crush injuries can lead to not being able to use a limb or an amputation. In some cases, what seems like a small injury such as trapped fingers in a door can have more serious consequences further down the line. Whatever your circumstances, the effects can lead to a loss of earnings, an inability to work, physical pain and emotional trauma, not just for yourself but also for your family.

At Injury Lawyers UK we have experience in claiming compensation in cases where a workplace accident wasn’t the employee’s fault. Sadly, the majority of crush injuries are preventable and we can help you the make a claim and get the maximum compensation you deserve.

Neck Injury in the Workplace

Neck injuries occurring in the workplace are unfortunately more common that you would think. They are uncomfortable, painful and inconvenient leaving those who have suffered them unable to function normally until they have healed. Some neck injuries can be short term but others only heal after a long term rehabilitation period and treatment. The aftercare needed can take it’s toll physically and emotionally on you and your family and if the injury was not your fault, it could have even more devastating emotional consequences. For more serious injuries, the effects can be life changing.

Some of the most common reasons for neck injuries in the workplace are:

• Unsafe manual handling without the appropriate training, equipment or colleague support
• Slips, trips and falls
• Being struck over the head by falling objects

If you have suffered from a neck injury in the workplace that wasn’t your fault, Injury Lawyers UK will help you get the compensation you deserve.

Am I Eligible for Compensation?

If you have suffered a neck injury after an accident that wasn’t your fault or due to workplace conditions, you may be eligible to claim. Employers have a duty to ensure appropriate health and safety measures are in place to protect employees and visitors as much as is reasonably possible.
