If you have been injured in an accident at work and you think your employer is at fault, you may want to make a claim for compensation. Any claim must be made within three years of the date of the accident, and you will normally need a lawyer to represent you. If you belong to a trade union, you may be able to use their legal services. Otherwise, you should speak to a specialist personal injury lawyer.
By law, your employer must be insured to cover a successful claim. Your employer should place a certificate with the name of their employer’s insurance company where it can be seen at work. If not, they must give you the details if you need them.
If you are considering suing your employer, remember that the aim of legal damages is to put you in the position you would be in had the accident not happened – it’s not about getting hold of some ‘free’ money.
A solicitor can help you get compensation and personal injury cases are taken on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis. This means you will only be liable to pay the solicitor’s fee if you win the case. You may still have to pay for some other costs, however, such as:
- fees to pay for experts
- court fees
- travelling expenses
If you win, you’ll have to pay your solicitor’s fees and other costs, but you should be able to get most, if not all, of these costs paid by the other side. The solicitor may also charge a fee for winning the case.
If you lose, you will have to pay for:
- the other side’s legal costs
- other expenses and charges, such as fees for witnesses
You may wish to take out insurance against paying extra legal costs. A solicitor will advise you about this.
