Office Accidents
Claiming for an Accident in the Office
If you have suffered an injury as a result of an accident in the office you may be entitled to compensation on a no win no fee basis. Employers are obliged to take out insurance cover in respect of accidents at work and it is the insurers who pay the compensation.
Carrs Solicitors bring over 15 years of successfully recovering compensation for damages for clients injured in office accidents through slips and trips, lifting or handling heavy objects, using defective or unsuitable office equipment, working in poor lighting conditions in the office or with unsafe means of access.
Office personnel are afforded the same protection from workplace accidents and illness as those employed in other workplaces. However, the law treats claims by persons injured in the course of their work differently to other types of personal injury claim. For this reason, should you have an office accident or contract a work-related illness such as carpal tunnel syndrome or a repetitive strain injury you should speak to a solicitor who specialises in work-related compensation claims.
We understand the concerns many people have over bringing compensation claims against their employers for office accidents; however most employers simply leave their insurers to process the claim. We understand the sensitivities of such claims and can advise you in relation to your employment rights if required.
We are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and Employment Lawyers Association, and we will aim to obtain your full compensation and rehabilitation entitlements in the shortest time possible without in any way jeopardising your position at work.
We act for victims of office accidents on a no win no fee basis which means that there is nothing for you to pay, win or lose, and no deductions from your damages. We are paid by the insurers when we win and bear the risk of not being paid if we do not succeed. We therefore depend upon our skills and diligence to succeed in winning compensation claims as much as our clients do.
Home visits can be arranged within 24 hours.
