Work Accident Compensation Claims If your personal injury claim is work related then you should try and source the most proficient and effective solicitor or lawyer that is experienced in employer liability compensation cases - (i.e. where an employee has been injured). These types of cases include, but are not limited to, personal injury, work related accidents, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), industrial injuries, industrial diseases, workplace violence, stress in the work place and many other related types of employment issues. All the solicitors that deal with these types of cases should offer you: • No win no fee arrangements • 100% of your compensation • Fast and efficient turnaround of applications With such offers you will find that you can have your particular work liability case reviewed by a specialist solicitor with no charge to you. With most firms you will be under no obligation to use their law firm to pursue your compensation claim after the initial consultation or phone call but you should always ask. Some cases, such as RSI and stress, are far more difficult to prove and therefore locating the best legal advice may take a little longer but it it will be worth the effort if you can get a solicitor that has already dealt with your particular case/accident/injury type before. It is not always possible for lawyers to offer you no win no fee arrangements and sometime they may even try to get you to sign an agreement to give part of your compensation to them on completion of the lawsuit. This will generally be in cases where the chances of winning are quite low and the solicitor does not want to take the burden of risk themselves. This is rare and you should be able to locate someone, whether in Scotland, England or Wales, that can offer you both "no win no fee" and "100% compensation" guarantees. The ease in which a case is run does depend partly on how the injury occurred but mainly in respect to the injuries sustained as that is what the actual compensatory amounts are based on. Regular injuries such as back injuries and hernias can be settled quicker now due to the large number of prior cases that can be referred to. Having your injury caused by a regularly claimed for accident such as a back injury or hernia from lifting will result in more law firms being willing to take your case on for you as well as a greater speed to completion of the claim as proving the injuries resulted from the activity stated will be much easier. The only obstacle left will be to prove that you were injured as a result of negligence on the part of your employer. Liability is not always guaranteed to be placed squarely on the shoulders of the company employing you if they can prove that you acted outwith the scope of the work you were given.
