No Win No Fee Solicitors In Stirling Can Help With Your Accident At Work Compensation Claim

Our personal injury solicitors have many years of experience helping clients just like you to get the compensation they deserve following an accident at work. Accident at work compensation claims can sometimes be more straightforward than other personal injury claims, as your employer has a legal obligation to keep you safe in the workplace. It can be extremely helpful to have the assistance of personal injury solicitors, however, to ensure that the process is as professional as possible and to help minimize conflict with your employer.

An employer will need to pay out compensation for an accident at work if you are injured while you are at work and either completing a task you were assigned or doing something you would normally be expected to do. You will need to show that your employer could reasonably be expected to have foreseen what happened to you and that they did not put enough measures in place to keep you safe.

Although this sounds complicated, it’s very straightforward. You can claim for an accident when your employer is able to protect you, so you can’t claim for a car accident on your way to work, for example. Your employer must also have had the opportunity to offer you training and safety equipment, so they cannot be responsible if you use a piece of machinery without their permission or knowledge.

Our Personal Injury Solicitors Can Get You The Best Compensation For Your Car Accident Claim

Insurance companies have a strong interest in offering the smallest possible payments they can to compensate you for injuries you have sustained in a car accident that wasn’t your fault. They will often offer amounts far below that which you are entitled to. Working with our team of no win no fee solicitors in Stirling gives you the confidence to know that you are getting a fair amount of compensation for your injuries and ensures that you get the money you need to help you recover.

Compensation For Personal Injury Claims

Although we understand why you want to know how much compensation you can receive for your personal injury, every compensation claim is unique. The amount that you receive will depend on the exact nature of your injuries and how severe an impact your personal injury has had on your life.

All compensation claims are divided into two parts. The first is set nationally by the Judicial College (a governing body). The judicial college creates and updates a list of all types of personal injuries, along with a range of compensation payments that are typical for this type of injury. The ranges are deliberately wide, to allow the individual nature of your specific injury to be taken into account. Whilst this is helpful for personal injury claims solicitors and for the courts, it can make it very difficult for people like you to know how much compensation you are entitled to. This is one way in which our highly experienced team of personal injury solicitors are able to help. Our years of experience in personal injury claims just like yours allow us to give you the best estimate for how much compensation you are likely to receive.

The second aspect to your injury compensation claim is there to make sure that you are not left financially worse off as a result of your injury. This includes compensating you for any money you may have had to pay out to aid your recovery, such as rehabilitation and physiotherapy, to adapt to the injuries you have, including home modifications or the purchase of prosthetics in very serious injuries, and also to make sure that you do not lose out through lack of work if you have to take some time off to heal. If you are unable to return to your previous line of work as a result of your injuries, you may even be able to claim for the loss of the potential earnings you could have expected. As may be clear, this can often be the far larger portion of your compensation payment.

As may now be obvious, the amount that you are able to claim in the second part of this compensation is often far greater than that available if you were just taking the Judicial College guidelines into account. Our dedicated team of no win no fee solicitors in Stirling are able to ensure that you are claiming for the full range of expenses you are entitled to, because we believe that you should never be left worse off as a result of an accident or injury that wasn’t your fault.

How Long Does It Take To Make A Personal Injury Compensation Claim With No Win No Fee Solicitors In Stirling?

Every personal injury compensation claim is different, and some will take longer to settle than others. We understand that our clients want the claims process to be over as quickly as possible, to get them the financial support they need and also to allow them to move on without worrying about their pending personal injury compensation claim.

In cases where agreement is reached quickly, the entire case can be concluded in just a few weeks. This requires that the other party accepts liability almost immediately, as gathering evidence and demonstrating liability can add significantly to the duration of the case. It is only possible to complete a case in this period of time if it very straightforward, which usually means that the injuries are relatively minor as well. Cases involving smaller sums of money are often easier to resolve quickly, as the other party has less to gain from fierce negotiations.

Complicated personal injury claims include those which involve multiple people who are all partially responsible for what happened, as well as those with very serious injuries. Cases like that will usually take far longer to be resolved than those which are straightforward. If the claim has to be decided in court, the delays can increase further.

Can My Employer Fire Me For Making An Accident At Work Compensation Claim?

It is actually illegal for your employer to punish you in any way for making a compensation claim following any accident at work, and the penalties can be very severe. They must not fire you, cause you to miss out on promotions or change your job to a less desirable one as a result of you making an accident at work compensation claim.

Very few employers would even want to punish an employee for making a compensation claim following an accident at work. Almost all employers understand that you need the compensation award to help you get your life back on track, and want to support you in that as far as is practical.

Many people who have suffered an accident at work just like yours find that making an accident at work compensation claim actually encourages their employer to take safety matters much more seriously. This can lead to a variety of safety measures being implemented at their workplaces which improves conditions and safety for themselves and for all of their colleagues and co-workers.

Particularly if you work for a small business, you may be concerned that your accident at work compensation claim could put them out of business. Thankfully, you don’t need to worry about this, as all businesses are required to take out Employers Liability Insurance, which covers them for any accident at work compensation claims, including your accident at work claim.

How A Compensation Claim Works

The process of making personal injury compensation claim is the same for almost all types of personal injury.

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have the help of a personal injury claims solicitor. Our team of experienced personal injury claims specialists are available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have about your personal injury compensation claim. You can call us on 0800 567 7074 or 0121 565 4317 or claim online and we will call you back at a time convenient to you.

We will write to the person to blame for your accident on your behalf. We inform them that you are making a compensation claim for your injuries and that you hold them responsible. We give them a deadline by which they need to either accept that this is true, or provide an explanation as to why they disagree.

If the other side tells us that they do not accept liability (this is known as them disputing liability), we will put together a file of evidence to support your claim. This will include any evidence you have found, as well as anything we gather. It can include a visual record of the event, if one exists, witness statements and expert testimony as to accepted safety guidelines for your industry. Once presented with this information, almost all employers will accept liability.

Once liability for your accident has been agreed, we will begin negotiations as to the exact amount of compensation to be paid out. The other side will often make a lowball offer, in the hope that you will accept far less in compensation than you are entitled to. We will always give you our expert opinion, based on years of experience with personal injury claims just like yours, as to whether an offer is fair or not, but the decision will always be up to you.

Almost all of the personal injury compensation claims we deal with are resolved without needing to go to court. This is because most people are willing to accept liability, once they have been presented with the relevant evidence. It is also usually possible to agree on a compensation amount that seems fair to both sides. If these things are not possible, however, you may need to go to court and ask a judge to decide. In the unlikely event that you are in this position, don’t worry. We will support you throughout, and help you to get the compensation you deserve.

How Do I Know Whether I Can Make A Personal Injury Claim?

Many people who have suffered an accident, just like you, are not sure whether they are entitled to claim for compensation. Making a personal injury compensation claim is easy, and if the following requirements are fulfilled, you are entitled to compensation for what has happened to you.

The first essential requirement is that you must have sustained some kind of damage or loss as a result of an accident that you have experienced. Narrowly avoiding injury can be alarming and worrying, but you are only able to claim compensation for the damage you have actually sustained.

The next consideration when wondering whether you are able to make a personal injury compensation claim is to think about who is responsible for your accident. There must be someone else to blame for what happened to you, and this is the person or organisation that you will claim against. In the case of an accident or injury at work, your employer will almost certainly be the person at fault. This is because they have a legal responsibility to keep you safe and your injury demonstrates that they were unsuccessful in this task.

The other person must also have been able to foresee or anticipate what has happened to you. This doesn’t mean that they must have actually known that it would happen, but that they could have considered it, if they had put sufficient thought and care into health and safety concerns.

Finally, they must not have taken sufficient measures to protect you. This could be in terms of putting in measures to avoid your accident, or in terms of making sure that the consequences are as mild as possible.

If you have experienced an accident and you believe that someone else was to blame, we want to help you get the compensation you deserve. Call us on 0800 567 7074 or 0121 565 4317 or claim online today and we will arrange a free call back at a time to suit you. Our personal injury claims specialists are here to help.
