Work Accident Claims in Manchester, Blackburn and Lancashire

Every professional environment provides varying levels of hazard and it is the duty of every employer to safe guard and protect their employees. Although appropriate measures are taken, accidents can happen at any time and deciding whether to sue an employer is a huge decision for anyone to take.

At Curtis Law Solicitors, our Personal Injury Solicitors will represent you if you have been involved in an accident whilst you were at work. We can provide expert advice and support on these often complex claims.

If you have been involved in an accident at work whether it was in an office or on a building site you may be entitled to claim compensation.

  • Burns/Scalds

You normally have three years from when your accident at work occurred and you must claim within this time frame.

Conditional Fee/Damages Based Agreements

We undertake risk assessments on all such matters and aim to complete the same within 24 hours of receipt of instructions on straightforward matters, or 72 hours of receipt of substantial papers, if applicable. The length of time taken on the risk assessment will vary according to the instructions and papers but we would expect to spend in the region of 30 minutes on straightforward matters. A more accurate timeframe can be given on a  case by case basis if required. We do not charge for the initial risk assessment.

If a matter is accepted it would, as a rule of thumb, be subject to a 25% Success Fee and After the Event Insurance (ATE) Premium deduction. The level of Success Fee and ATE Premium will vary depending on the nature and complexity of the case and the exact Success Fee as a percentage of damages and ATE Premium will be confirmed to you before you sign any retainer with us.

Under the terms of a Conditional Fee/Damages Based Agreement, you would ordinarily only have to pay the Success Fee and ATE Premium yourself. If however, you breach the agreement you would then become responsible for our full costs.
