Accidents at Work Solicitors in South Wales

When you work for an employer, they have a duty to ensure that you are safe and that they are complying with all relevant health and safety laws. If they fail in this duty, leading to you being injured at work, you may be able to claim compensation.

Your employer must follow the law and the legislation created to help try and protect you. If an employer breaches their duties under these laws, for example, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, then our team can help you make a claim.

At Devonalds, we have over 30 years of experience in claims against employers who have flaunted their own rules and the law. We understand the frustration of being injured whilst doing your job and the knock-on effect that this may have on your future employment. It is sometimes overlooked the devastating impact that a minor injury can have on your working and personal life.

We understand that it can be difficult to bring a case for personal injury against your employer, as you may have built up a long-standing working relationship. We are here to guide you through the claims process and advise you on your best options.

With our expert knowledge in this area, we are able to break down the legal jargon and help explain what we need to do to bring a successful claim on your behalf. We can also keep the process of making a claim as non-confrontational as possible, helping you to preserve a positive relationship with your employer.

Common questions about accidents at work

How to make a personal injury claim for an accident at work

If you have been injured due to an accident at work, we can advise you and guide you through every step of the process for making a compensation claim.

When you contact us, we will discuss the details of your case with you and give a realistic assessment of the strength of your claim. We will then talk you through the exact process for making a claim so you will be completely clear on what to expect.

Every case is unique, and we will provide a service tailored to your situation and needs. However, there are certain key questions that we know many people have when thinking about starting a compensation claim. The answers to some of the most frequently asked questions are below.

Can I claim compensation for my workplace accident in South Wales?

Yes, you can claim compensation for a workplace accident in South Wales if the accident was caused by your employer’s negligence or failure to provide a safe working environment.

Whether you have suffered a minor injury or a more serious accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and any impact on your quality of life.

At Devonalds, our expert team is here to guide you through the claims process with clear, straightforward advice. We offer a No Win, No Fee arrangement to ensure finances are not a barrier to pursuing your claim.

Is my job at risk if I make a claim against my employer?

No, your job should not be at risk if you make a claim against your employer. By law, employers are prohibited from treating employees unfairly or dismissing them for making a claim after a workplace accident.

At Devonalds, we understand how important job security is, and we will ensure your rights are protected throughout the claims process.

Our experienced team is here to guide you and help you get the compensation you deserve while prioritising your best interests.

How much compensation can I claim for a work accident?

The exact amount you can claim will depend on the nature of your injuries, the extent of your employer’s liability and a number of other factors. You may also be able to claim for certain other costs incurred as a direct result of your injury.

Our workplace accident solicitors will discuss these details with you when you first contact us and help to give you a more precise idea of how much you may be able to claim for your particular injury.

How long do I have to make a claim for an accident at work?

In most cases, you have three years to start a personal injury claim from the time the accident occurred or the date on which you realised you had been injured as the result of an accident.

However, if you were under 18 at the time the accident occurred, this three-year time limit only begins once you turn 18, giving you until your 21st birthday to make a claim.

How long do accident at work claims take?

Exactly how long it will take to make a successful accident at work claim depends on a number of factors, including whether your employer accepts liability.

Our work claim solicitors will aim to make the process as fast as possible, but it is not always possible to give an exact timeframe at the beginning.

However, we will keep you informed of the progress throughout your case and ensure you have a clear understanding of anything that may impact this.

How do you prove responsibility for an accident at work?

Proving that an accident at work was your employer’s fault (assuming they do not admit liability) will usually require multiple pieces of evidence.

This is likely to include things such as a medical report, your workplace’s HSE Accident Book, evidence of your employer’s Health & Safety practices and witness testimony.

Will I have to go to court to claim compensation for a workplace accident?

In most cases accident at work claims can be settled without the need for court action. This can save you time, money and a lot of stress.

However, if going to court is the best or only way to achieve a fair outcome, we have the experience and expertise to offer you the best possible representation for your claim.

How do no win, no fee accidents at work claims work

When we take clients on under a no win, no fee agreement, this means you pay nothing upfront towards the cost of making a claim, and we will only get paid if we win compensation for you. Our fee will usually be charged as a percentage of any compensation we win for you.

Operating on a no win, no fee basis means anyone can bring an accident at work claim without worrying about how to fund their case.

It also means you can be sure we think you have a realistic chance of winning compensation, as there is no benefit to us in taking on cases where there is little prospect of success.
