How NJS Law Can Help You After a Car Accident

Claims Caused by Poor Road Conditions

Even if another driver wasn’t involved, you may still be able to claim. Poor road maintenance, such as potholes, cracks, or uneven surfaces, can make the highway unsafe. In these cases, we may be able to help you claim against the council or Highways England.

We know that a collision can create financial strain, which is why we offer:

  • No Win No Fee representation – learn more
  • Free, no-obligation consultations

This means you can pursue your car accident compensation with confidence and without financial risk.

Your Next Steps: What to Do if You Want to Make a Claim

If you’re ready to begin your claim, gathering evidence will help strengthen your case. You should try to collect:

  • Photographs of the accident scene or vehicle damage
  • Eyewitness statements and contact details
  • Medical reports or hospital records
  • Information about the other party involved

Once we receive your information, our car accident legal advice team will guide you through the entire process with honest, clear, and expert support.

Claiming Compensation for a Workplace Accident

April 2022

If you have been injured in an accident at work, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Under UK law, many workers – including casual workers, agency staff, and the self-employed – are often still classed as employees and are therefore entitled to the same health and safety protections.

If you are an agency worker, responsibility for your safety may rest with both the agency and the company where you are placed. If either party failed in their duty of care, you could be eligible to make a workplace accident claim.

Types of Workplace Accidents

Accidents can happen in almost any working environment. While higher risk industries such as construction and manufacturing see more serious injuries, office workers, retail staff, and supermarket employees are also vulnerable to accidents at work.

Even desk based roles can result in injuries such as repetitive strain injury (RSI), back pain, eye strain, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Common Cause of Workplace Accidents

The most common causes of workplace accidents we see include:

  • Slips, trips, and falls
  • Overexertion and muscle strain
  • Falling objects
  • Vehicle collisions at work
  • Exposure to harmful substances
  • Violence or assaults in the workplace

If you have suffered a workplace injury, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Even injuries that initially appear minor can worsen over time and lead to long-term complications.

Making an Accident at Work Claim

If your injury was caused by a failure to follow health and safety regulations, you may be able to make a claim to compensation.

In some circumstances, you may still be able to claim even if you were partly responsible for the accident – for example, where faulty equipment, inadequate training, or unsafe working conditions made your injuries worse.

Employer's Legal Responsibilities

Your employer has a legal duty of care to protect your health and safety at work. This includes:

  • Carrying out regular risk assessments
  • Providing appropriate safety equipment (e.g. helmets, gloves, eye protection)
  • Offering proper training and safe systems of work

Time Limits for Workplace Injury Claims

In most cases, you have three years from the date of your workplace accident to start a claim. In some situations, this time limit may run from the date you became aware that your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence.

Our experienced solicitors can assess your situation and advise whether you are eligible to claim.

Costs and Compensation

Our specialist workplace accident solicitors will work to secure the compensation you deserve. Compensation may cover:

  • Loss of earnings
  • Private medical treatment
  • Rehabilitation and ongoing care
  • Travel expenses and other financial losses

No Win No Fee Workplace Accident Claims

We handle the majority of accident at work claims on a No Win No Fee basis. This means:

  • No upfront legal costs
  • No legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful
