Accident at work

Most people realise that they can claim compensation for an accident on the road, such as a car crash, or for when they trip or fall in a public place. However, not everyone realises that you can actually claim for compensation if you have suffered an accident at work, in the workplace.

Accidents at work are common in the UK, and they can range from small slips and trips on wet surfaces, usually as a result of recent cleaning and inadequate warning, to more severe accidents such as those encountered at industrial sites. It’s important to note that you probably can’t claim compensation for an accident where you yourself have been negligent or irresponsible, but if you have suffered an accident at work as a result of improper training, lack of safety equipment or inadequate equipment for the job that you are doing, then you are able to claim for compensation against your employer.


You shouldn’t feel guilty about claiming compensation against your employer, as by doing so you are helping to ensure that no other work colleagues suffer the same accident at work that you have suffered.

A no win no fee personal injury lawyer will be able to guide you through the claims process, and advise you on what you can actually claim for. Claims for compensation can include monies for injuries sustained, compensation for medical bills and remuneration for the time you have missed from work.

Making a no win no fee claim for compensation will win you the compensation that you deserve.

Benefits for appointing a no win no fee claim solicitor


Nobody likes hurting themselves and having to go to hospital. It’s even worse when it’s not your fault, or you have suffered an accident that was easily preventable. The injuries sustained from falls, trips or car accidents can be very painful. Sometimes you could even sustain permanent injury and be off work for several months, or indefinitely, which can also cost you financially as well physically and mentally.

Luckily, you are able to claim compensation for injuries such as these, so long as someone has acted negligently or irresponsibly. If you have slipped over at work, in the high street or have been the victim of a car accident, you can claim compensation for your injuries using a no win no fee solicitor.

No win no fee allows people to make claims for compensation without having to spend their own money up front to take legal action. Before no win no fee was introduced, many people injured in accidents that were not their fault couldn’t afford to claim compensation because of the expensive legal system. With no win no fee, personal injury specialists can take on your case for you and ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve, without you having to pay any money.

No win no fee solicitors are paid by the third party’s insurance company, which also means that it’s in their best interests to win your case, as if your personal injury lawyer doesn’t win, they don’t get paid either!
