Claims We’ve Won
– Real Results for Our Clients –

Injuries caused by machinery, power tools, industrial equipment, and vehicles in the workplace are among the most serious categories of workplace accident. They frequently result in crush injuries, amputations, burns, and fractures — often because an employer failed to guard equipment properly, maintain it adequately, or train workers how to use it safely.

The primary legislation governing the safety of work equipment in England and Wales is the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). If your employer breached PUWER and you were injured as a result, you are entitled to claim compensation.

Personal injury claims can take months or years to settle. In the meantime, you may be off work, facing medical bills, requiring paid care, or needing to adapt your home. An interim payment is a payment made to you before your claim finally settles — a payment on account of the compensation you are expected to receive — so that you do not have to wait for the full settlement process to access funds you genuinely need.
This guide explains what interim payments are, when you can get one, how much you can receive, and how the process works.
