What Counts as an Accident at Work?

You might be able to claim if your accident was caused by:

  • Unsafe equipment
  • Poor training
  • Slips, trips or falls
  • Lack of PPE
  • Employer negligence

Even if you were partly at fault, you may still be able to claim.

If your employer failed to keep you safe, they may be legally responsible

Your Rights After a Work Injury (UK)

Under UK law, you have the right to:

  • A safe working environment
  • Take legal action if your employer was negligent
  • Access compensation for lost income, medical bills, and more

Your employer must have insurance for workplace injuries. You are not claiming against them personally.

What to Do After an Accident at Work

  1. Report the Accident

    Tell your employer straight away. Make sure it’s written in the accident book or recorded by email.

  2. Get Medical Help

    See a doctor or go to A&E. Keep copies of any records, prescriptions, or diagnoses.

  3. Collect Evidence

    Take photos of the scene and your injury. If anyone saw what happened, ask for their details.

  4. Speak to a Specialist Solicitor

    Call us for free advice. We’ll tell you if you have a claim with no pressure and no commitment.

Can I Be Fired for Making a Work Injury Claim?

No, you can’t legally be dismissed for having an accident or making a claim.

If your employer treats you unfairly or tries to push you out, it could be classed as unfair dismissal, and you may have legal grounds to challenge it.

Will I Get Sick Pay?

Check your contract for details, but most workers are entitled to at least:

  • Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) for up to 28 weeks
  • Or enhanced contractual sick pay

If you're self-employed, you may need to claim Universal Credit or check your income protection insurance if you have it.

Yes, if your injury was partly or fully your employer’s fault, you can make a claim under The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

Claims often cover:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Time off work
  • Loss of earnings
  • Medical treatment
  • Long-term care

Employers are legally required to have insurance for these claims. You’re not hurting your employer by seeking the compensation you deserve.

Step 4: You Get Paid

If we win, your compensation is paid to you. You pay us a fee from the amount awarded, which will be capped at 25% of that amount.

How Much Does It Cost?

With Winston Solicitors, you can claim under a no-win no-fee agreement. That means:

  • No upfront costs
  • No hidden fees

Your recovery is personal. Your legal support should be too.

You can claim for pain, lost income, medical bills, travel, and more. We’ll explain everything based on your situation.

Most claims are settled out of court with your employer’s insurer. Going to court is rare and we’ll support you every step if needed.

You usually have 3 years from the date of the accident, or from when you first realised you were injured.

Your employer can’t legally punish or fire you just for making a claim. If they do, it could count as unfair dismissal.

Yes. A solicitor protects your rights and helps you get the right amount of compensation, so you’re not pushed into taking a low early offer from insurers.

You can claim for pain, lost income, medical bills, travel, and more. We’ll explain everything based on your situation.

I recently collected on a no win no fee basis for a works accident case .Before I contacted Winston Solicitors I did my own research and decided to contact them with my issues. Amanda evens worked my case which took just over 3 years to conclude..I can not speak highly enough about her professionalism her empathy and friendly nature. Amanda arranged all my medical appointments with specialist consultants and helped me build my case against my employer's. Amanda kept me informed throughout this long drawn-out process and was always willing to advise and assist with any of my concerns. I would have no concerns about wholeheartedly recommending Winston Solicitors and Amanda to represent anyone who needed advice and help with a claim. And finally I would like to add Winston Solicitors are fortunate to have Amanda represent them . Regards martin

I had an accident which was not my fault and it resulted in a serious injury. I was considering putting in a claims but was not sure about next steps. I started looking at several solicitor websites conducting my own research. I came across Winston Solicitors so I called the office and was put through to a solictor who listened and we went through the incident while I answered their questions. I was not sure in the first instance if I had a case but after our discussion, the solicitors assured me there was a case and began gathering informaiton on my case. We worked together gathering all the necessary information they needed. Furthermore, following my accident it transpired I needed a second operation for the same injury and Winston Solicitors walked with me through the whole journey which took 2 years - finally we came to a successful conclusion. I found the solicitor working on my case very gentle, undertsanding, reassuring and patient with me, explainig everything so all 'next steps' were clear, making the whole process easy and comfortable. I am extremely happy with the conclusion and I would highly recommend this group of solicitors to family and friends.
