How we build your case for a workplace accident claim

A successful workplace accident claim goes beyond legal paperwork. It requires meticulous preparation, expert collaboration, and a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in your unique situation. Here’s how we build a strong, comprehensive case for you:

1. Initial consultation & case assessment

  • Understanding your experience: Our process begins with a detailed conversation to understand how the workplace accident has affected you. We listen closely to gather all relevant details, from the circumstances of the accident to the physical, emotional, and financial impacts you face.
  • Assessing viability: We review the available evidence and determine the initial strengths of your claim, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the claim’s potential, and the steps involved.

2. Comprehensive evidence collection

  • Gathering detailed evidence: We collect a range of evidence to build a robust case. This includes accident reports, witness statements, safety logs, CCTV footage, and any other records that can establish liability and demonstrate employer negligence or unsafe working conditions.
  • Medical documentation: We work with you to gather comprehensive medical records that detail your diagnosis, treatment, and the extent of your injuries. This evidence helps paint a full picture of the immediate and long-term implications of your injury.

3. Engagement with expert specialists

  • Medical experts & assessments: We collaborate with leading medical professionals to provide expert assessments of your injury and its future impact. These assessments help clarify the severity of your condition and outline the necessary treatment and rehabilitation to support your recovery.
  • Case managers & therapists: For cases involving severe injuries, we involve case managers and occupational therapists to provide insights into your long-term care needs and adaptations you might require at home or work.
  • Specialist barristers: If your case requires a courtroom strategy, we consult with experienced barristers who specialise in workplace accident claims. Their insight helps reinforce the strength of your case during litigation.

4. Demonstrating liability & negligence

  • Thorough investigation: We conduct a deep investigation to establish employer liability, examining whether safety protocols were violated, if training was inadequate, or if equipment was faulty. We leave no detail unchecked to prove negligence.
  • Building a clear narrative: Using the collected evidence, we construct a clear and persuasive narrative that highlights the employer’s duty of care, how it was breached, and the direct link to your injuries. This approach is critical for negotiating settlements or presenting in court.

5. Calculating comprehensive compensation

  • Financial assessment: We meticulously assess both current and future financial implications of your injury. This includes medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost earnings, and potential future loss of income, as well as any necessary adaptations to your lifestyle.
  • Pain & suffering: We consider not just the tangible financial impacts but also the physical pain and emotional distress you have endured. This holistic evaluation ensures that your claim covers all aspects of your recovery and well-being.

6. Negotiation & litigation preparation

  • Strategic negotiations: We pursue maximum compensation by negotiating effectively with insurers and opposing counsel. Our strong preparation and evidence-backed approach give us leverage to push for a fair settlement.
  • Ready for court: While many cases are settled outside of court, we prepare each case as if it will proceed to trial. This readiness ensures that if litigation becomes necessary, we can advocate powerfully on your behalf.

7. Continuous client support & communication

  • Transparent communication: Throughout the process, we maintain open and clear communication with you. We explain each step, keep you informed of any developments, and make sure you feel supported and empowered.
  • Empathetic guidance: Our approach recognises the stress that can come with a serious workplace injury. We handle the complexities of your claim with care, allowing you to focus on recovery while we manage the legal process.
