Accidents at Work – How to Make a Personal Injury Claim 

If you’ve suffered an injury at work that wasn’t your fault and are looking to claim compensation but aren’t sure where to start, or if you’re concerned about the possible repercussions of filing a claim, we’re here to support you every step of the way. We understand how overwhelming and stressful this time can be for you and your loved ones, so our goal is to alleviate some of that burden for you.  

At AmicusLaw, we believe in a personal approach. We will tirelessly advocate on your behalf to ensure you receive the best possible outcome. Here’s how you can take the first steps toward reclaiming your peace of mind: 

1) Seek Immediate Medical Attention 

Your health and well-being are paramount. Even if your injury seems minor, it’s essential to seek medical help right away. Prompt medical attention not only safeguards your health but also strengthens your personal injury claim. Delays in treatment can be used against you by insurance companies or opposing parties, who may argue that your injuries were not severe or were unrelated to the incident. 

2) Gather Crucial Evidence 

Proper documentation is key to supporting your claim. Detailed records of your medical treatment will serve as evidence of the extent of your injuries and the associated costs. If there were witnesses to the accident, be sure to collect their contact information and confirm their willingness to support your case. Their testimony could be invaluable in proving your claim. 

3) Contact Us 

If you believe you have a legitimate case and are ready to pursue a claim, reach out to us. We understand that taking legal action against your workplace can be daunting, but rest assured, you have the right to seek what you’re owed without fear of retaliation – UK Employment Law is very clear in this matter. Your employer cannot legally dismiss you for making a claim. 

We recognise that you may want to return to work as soon as possible, so we will handle your claim with the utmost discretion and efficiency, ensuring minimal disruption to your work life and family. We’re dedicated to helping you get your life back on track. 

4) Let’s Chat, Jargon-Free 

We know that you’ve got enough on your plate without having to navigate legal jargon too. During our consultation, we’ll break everything down in plain language. We’ll review the facts of your case, understand how the accident has affected you and your family, and figure out the best way forward. We will ask for specific evidence, such as medical records and photos, to strengthen your claim. 

5) Submitting Your Personal Injury Claim 

The pressure to keep everything together can be overwhelming, especially after an injury. Once we’ve gathered all the details, we’ll take it from there. We will formally submit your claim to the Defendant, notifying them that you’re seeking compensation. 

The Defendant will then have a period of time to respond to your claim. They may accept liability or deny it. If they deny it, the process might take a bit longer, but don’t worry—we’ll handle all the negotiations on your behalf. If an agreement isn’t reached, the case may go to court, though most claims are settled before that point. 

We’re here to reduce the stress so you can focus on what matters most – getting yourself better. 

At Amicus, we understand the unique pressures you face, especially when dealing with the aftermath of a workplace accident. Our mission is to take the stress out of the legal process, allowing you to focus on your recovery and your family. From the initial consultation to the final settlement, we’ll stand by your side, handling the complexities of your claim with care and determination. You deserve fair compensation for your injury, and we’re here to make sure you get it—without the hassle, without the jargon, and with your best interests at heart. Let us take on the fight so you can get back to what truly matters. Click here to find out more, and remember, we’re on your side!
