Making an accident at work claim can feel overwhelming. Below we’ve answered the most common questions our clients ask. These cover eligibility, time limits, compensation, and what happens if your case goes to court.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to start your claim. This period may begin later if your injury or illness was diagnosed afterwards. Exceptions apply for children and people lacking mental capacity.
Most claims are settled out of court through negotiation with your employer’s insurer. Only a small percentage reach court, usually when liability is denied or the compensation amount cannot be agreed. Our solicitors represent you at every stage if this happens.
Yes. Self-employed workers have the same right to claim as employees if another party’s negligence caused the accident — for example, unsafe premises, faulty equipment, or lack of training. Employers’ liability insurance often covers contractors and freelancers.
The timeline depends on the case. Straightforward claims with clear liability may settle in a few months, while serious or disputed cases can take longer. Our solicitors keep you updated and work to secure compensation as quickly as possible.
Strong evidence helps prove liability and support your case. This may include:
Our solicitors guide you in gathering and presenting the right evidence.
No. It is illegal for an employer to dismiss you for making a genuine claim. UK employment law protects workers from unfair dismissal or retaliation when exercising their legal right to claim compensation. You can read more in our guide on being sacked for making an accident at work claim.
If you experience pressure or threats at work, our solicitors can also advise on employment law remedies.
