Many people shy away from pursuing a personal injury claim, following an accident at work.
It is only natural to have such reservations; particularly if you are frightened that making a claim may affect your employer or co-worker directly.
However, this article will provide you with more information and reassurance about your right to claim.

Making a work claim, not only entitles you to make a claim for compensation, should you have suffered an injury due to someone else's negligence, it will also help to prevent others from suffering the same accident or injury as yourself.

Making a work claim, on a 'no win no fee basis' means that you can make a claim without having to worry about any legal costs or deductions being taken from your overall compensation award.
Your solicitor will recover all of their costs from the third party's insurers, so for instance, your employer's insurance company and not your manager, employer or co-worker directly.
This means that you will keep 100% compensation.
In the unlikely event that your claim has been unsuccessful, you will still not have to pay a single penny.
Making a work claim is a very simple process, if your case is being dealt with in the right hands.
A reputable solicitor will take care of your case and will keep you informed of the progress of it.

They will also take into account any financial loss or out of pocket expenses that you have incurred, and/or likely to incur in the future.
