How We Can Help You
Recovery Assist solicitors specialise in office accident claims.
If you have been injured in the office, why not talk to a member of our team?
Accidents in the office can sometimes seem trivial, but if you've been injured and your employer's negligence is to blame then you shouldn't suffer in silence.
When office accidents happen employees can be worried about the effect a personal injury claim will have on their employment; this shouldn't be of concern.
All employers should have relevant workplace insurance to cover any injury claims that arise from accidents that occur on their premises. So any compensation claim would be made against this policy and should have no effect on your employment status.
It can be a delicate matter claiming against an employer but remember that it is illegal to dismiss an employee on the basis of injury. If you are thinking of making a claim for an office injury, or even if you just want advice - give us a call today. If you prefer, you can fill in our online claim form.
