Can I claim compensation for an accident at work?
To make a successful compensation claim for an accident at work, you will need to prove that the accident was caused by someone else's negligence or breach of duty of care. This means that you will need to show that your employer or a third party failed to take reasonable steps to ensure your safety at work, which resulted in your injuries. If you are unsure whether you have a valid claim, give our Personal Injury team a call to discuss what happened and chat about the legal options available to you.
We offer a free initial discussion to chat about your potential claim, what happened, what evidence you might have, and to talk about the options that are available to you. There is absolutely no obligation here – it’s simply a free chat to establish whether there is a potential compensation claim, or not. All you need to do is call the team on 01752 827085 or email us at teampersonalinjury@nash.co.uk
How much compensation can I get for a workplace accident?
Because every workplace accident claim is assessed individually, the amount of compensation you can receive for an accident at work will depend on the severity of your injuries and the impact they have had on your life.
Generally, compensation can cover a range of damages, including medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and future care costs. Our experienced lawyers will be able to assess the value of your claim based on the specific circumstances of your case.

How long will it take to make a claim for an accident at work?
The length of time it takes to make a compensation claim for an accident at work can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the extent of your injuries. Some claims can be resolved in a matter of months, while others may take years. Our team should be able to provide you with an estimated timeline based on the specifics of your case.
In the meantime, it is essential to seek medical attention for your injuries and report the accident to your employer as soon as possible. Collecting evidence, such as witness statements and photographs, can also be beneficial in building a strong case for compensation.

Our team of specialist lawyers work on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that there’s absolutely no financial risk to you or your family. We won’t ask you to make any upfront payments at all. We may even be able to get you some interim payments to help pay for medical treatments and rehab.
In our free initial consultation, we can explain in more detail how your claim could be funded. We’ll also be able to answer any other questions that you may still have.
To find out whether you’re able to make a workplace accident claim please call us on 01752 827085. You’ll get to speak to one of our lawyers right away, and we can answer some of your questions there and then. We can also talk about booking you in for your free consultation.
Getting you access to interim payments
In some cases, we can request an interim payment for you which can help to reduce financial worries caused by the accident. It can also be used to pay for private treatment. An interim payment is made before the conclusion of your claim. This can be particularly helpful if you have suffered from serious injuries as these cases can take many years before they reach a final conclusion.

If your employer denies your workplace accident compensation claim, you may be able to take legal action to challenge their decision. A personal injury lawyer can advise you on the best course of action in this situation.

Mike Shiers and his team have been incredible. After suffering an injury to my knee and wrist caused by a 3rd party, I was put in touch with Mike from Nash & Co. I have to say, he and his team have been nothing short of incredible from start to finish.
