If you’re interested in making an accident at work claim, you might be wondering if you should work with accident at work solicitors on your case.

Solicitors need to study for years through education, work experience, and training in order to qualify. Once they are qualified, they begin to build on their experience and knowledge, so when the time comes to take on your personal injury claim after an accident at work, they can draw on their expertise to ensure that you are fully compensated for the harm you have suffered.

In this guide, we’ll discuss how an accident at work solicitor could help you make a personal injury claim and how they can use their past experiences to maximise your compensation settlement. Then, we’ll talk about whether you need to use a local solicitor and what a legal professional might need from you before your claim starts.

How Can Accident At Work Solicitors Help Me?

There are many ways that a solicitor can help you through the accident at work claims process. For example, they can help with:

  • Collecting evidence to support and strengthen your case
  • Communicating with the defendant and the court
  • Preparing your claim to go to court if this is necessary
  • Help you through court proceedings
  • Translating technical legal terms and explaining each step of the process
  • Making sure that your claim is filed within the work injury claim time limit

Because of the strenuous training that solicitors need to go through, they are very familiar with the workplace accident claims process. Having this familiarity and experience can make the process feel smoother, and less complex.

Do I Need An Accident At Work Solicitor To Claim?

No, you aren’t obligated to work with a solicitor, but it’s something we always strongly recommend. This is because solicitors have years of experience within the legal system and can give your workplace injury claim the best possible chance of success. It is very likely that your employer or their insurance will be seeking legal advice or appointing a legal representative. Having a solicitor who specialises in personal injury claims after an accident at work can ensure that you are represented fairly.

The legal system can be complex and multidimensional at times; having someone on your side who can navigate the system with confidence and ease can not only give your case a winning chance, but you can concentrate solely on your recovery, knowing that the case is being worked on professionally.

Do I Need To Use Accident At Work Solicitors Near Me?

A very common worry amongst claimants is that they need to use a solicitor in their area. This can be concerning, especially for those who live in rural areas, but it isn’t true. As long as they take on clients from outside of their area, you can work with a solicitor from anywhere in the UK.

When you’re considering hiring a solicitor, the most important thing to consider is whether they have the expertise required to handle your case and not their location. One of the benefits of working with our team of accident at work solicitors is they take on clients from all around the country.

Our team of advisors are here to help. Get in touch today to learn more about how our accident at work solicitors could help you.

What Would An Accident At Work Solicitor Need From Me?

Before a solicitor can take on your case, they’ll need to evaluate it first. They’ll listen to you explain your case and may ask you:

  • When the accident happened
  • What caused the accident
  • How severely you were injured
  • Whether or not you had financial losses, also known as special damages

Then, if they think your claim is valid, they might ask if you have any evidence. This is an important part of the claims process because it’s your responsibility to prove that negligence occurred. Negligence is showing how your employer, who owes you a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, breached this duty; for example, they never provided you with the training required to do your job safely, and this resulted in you being injured in an accident.

At this point in the process, you might have photographs of your injuries, accident book logs, or CCTV footage of the accident that you could share with your solicitor.

They will then help you explore different avenues to prove your claim and collect certain kinds of evidence. For example, they might arrange for you to undergo an independent medical assessment.

Throughout the claim, they’ll ask for your input and thoughts on certain aspects of the case, like any potential compensation payouts.

Should I Use A No Win No Fee Solicitor To Make A Work Accident Compensation Claim?

A lot of people worry about the costly legal fees that can come with hiring a solicitor. One of the benefits of working with our team is that they work on a No Win No Fee basis. They do this by working under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).

A No Win No Fee solicitor provides all of the same services as a regular solicitor, but they won’t:

  • Charge you an upfront fee to start working on the case
  • Ask for payment for their services as the claim is ongoing
  • Take any fees for their work if the claim fails

If you make a successful accident at work claim, your solicitor will take a success fee. This is a percentage of your compensation.

Because of this, a No Win No Fee solicitor can be a good choice for claimants who want expert legal representation but have concerns about some of the potential financial risks.
