By law, your employer is not allowed to treat you any differently as a result of you taking legal action. If you’re concerned that your employer will not or cannot pay for your compensation, you shouldn’t let this deter you as their insurance company will cover this payment.
If you decide to instruct us to act on your behalf, we will not only work to get you compensation, but we will also arrange for you to be seen by medical experts and arrange interim payments wherever we can.
We deal with most Personal Injury claims on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means you won’t need to worry about paying us anything unless your claim is successful.
If we’re able to obtain you compensation, the other side will pay a proportion of our costs, but you may have to contribute towards these too. This will come out of any Personal Injury compensation you receive.
