Frequently Asked Questions
How long will a claims take?
As a general rule, the less complicated your injury and prognosis is, and the sooner you act, the faster your claim will be. Some unscrupulous insurance companies will try to drag proceedings out to put you under financial pressure with the hope you will, therefore, accept a lower offer. We are wise to their ways and can use the courts and law to help prevent this if it does occur.
How should my employer have protected me against Vibration White Finger?
Vibration White Finger, or HAVS, is avoidable if workers using vibrating tools and machinery do so in adherence with industrial and safety regulations. Your employer should:
– Provide information and guidance on the risk
– Make sure any risks from vibration are controlled
How does a No Win No Fee* arrangement work?
No Win No Fee agreements work by minimising any financial risk associated with making an injury at work compensation claim for the client. If you do not receive any compensation, you do not have to pay your legal fees.
If you win compensation (and a lawyer will typically only take a case on a no win no fee basis if they believe there is a very strong likelihood that it will) you will pay your solicitor a fee that is an agreed percentage of your compensation.
My employer has gone out of business, can I still claim?
Yes. Even if your former employer has gone out of business, you could still make a claim. The company will have been insured to deal with claims such as this, so it will be the insurer’s responsibility to make any compensation payouts.
