The law is on the side of injured workers.
Employer duty of care
UK law places a clear, non-delegable duty on your employer to keep you reasonably safe. When that duty is breached and you're hurt, the law provides a route to compensation.
Evidence matters
Accident book entries, photographs, witness statements and medical records all strengthen a claim. We'll show you exactly what to gather — and what to avoid.
No win, no fee
Most workplace injury claims are funded by a conditional fee agreement. There is nothing to pay upfront, and nothing to pay if your case doesn't succeed.
Three steps. No upfront cost.
No upfront costs
You pay nothing to start your claim and nothing as it progresses. There are no hidden charges and no commitment until you decide to proceed.
We handle the claim
Your solicitor manages all correspondence with the employer's insurer, gathers evidence, instructs medical experts and negotiates settlement on your behalf.
You keep most of your compensation
If you win, a success fee (capped at 25% of certain damages) is deducted. If you lose — provided you've kept to the agreement — you pay nothing at all.
You generally have 3 years to claim. Don't delay.
The Limitation Act gives most injured workers three years from the date of the accident — or from the date they first knew their injury was work-related — to start a claim. Evidence and witness memory fade quickly. The earlier you act, the stronger your case.
Read the full time limits guideWill I lose my job if I claim?
In almost every case, no. UK employers are required by law to hold employer's liability insurance precisely so that injured workers can be compensated without the business itself bearing the cost. Claims are handled by the insurer, not by your line manager.
Dismissing or victimising you for making a genuine claim would expose your employer to a separate — and serious — claim for detriment or unfair dismissal. The vast majority of our clients continue working as normal throughout the process.

- How long do I have to make a claim?
- In most cases you have three years from the date of the accident, or three years from the date you first knew your injury was linked to work. Different rules apply for under-18s and certain industrial diseases.
- Will I have to go to court?
- The vast majority of UK accident at work claims settle without ever reaching court. A trial is only used as a last resort if liability or value is genuinely disputed.
- Can I claim if I was partly at fault?
- Yes. Under contributory negligence, your compensation may be reduced to reflect your share of responsibility, but you can still recover damages for the rest.
- What does no win, no fee actually cost me?
- Nothing upfront. If your claim succeeds, a success fee of up to 25% of certain damages is deducted. If it fails, you pay nothing — provided you keep to the agreement.
