Accident At Work
Have You Suffered An Injury At Work?
You may have an injury at work claim if you have sustained and injury during the course of your employment. This can include physical and mental health illnesses that have occurred due to neglect of health and safety in your work environment. If you have sustained an injury in the course of your employment, including stress, and think you may have an accident at work claim, the first step is to tell us about it. Additionally if you are suffering from a long term illness or health issue that may have been caused by working conditions or practices contact us. We can offer you an initial free consultation to inform you whether you have a case.
I think I have an accident at work claim, what’s next?
Firstly, contact Gray Magee Solicitors, we will take your full details of your case. Secondly, we will send a claim letter to the person/organisation you are claiming against. We inform them about your physical or mental health injury and why you hold them at fault. Usually after that there is a process of negotiation to see if it is possible to agree to settle your case without Court proceedings. However, if no agreement can be reached, proceedings can be issued to take your case to Court. If the matter is not settled then it will be taken in front of a judge. The judge will make a decision as to whether or not you are entitled to compensation for your accident at work claim. The judge will also decide how much that compensation is to be. We always try to claim the maximum amount of compensation for you, that you can successfully recover in each case.
