Personal injury solicitors say claims for workplace accidents are on the rise

Fentons Solicitors LLP, one of the leading personal injury solicitors firms, believes people who suffer accidents at work are gaining the confidence to make a compensation claim.

According to the firm, there has traditionally been a lot of hesitancy amongst people who've been in a workplace accident to pursue legal action because of fears of being ostracised by colleagues or employers. However, the experienced personal injury solicitors say more and more victims of work injuries – also known as industrial accidents - are beginning to realise that they deserve to be compensated for what has happened.

"Severe injuries can have a major impact on people's lives," a Fentons spokesperson said. "Some may have long-lasting effects that require physiotherapy or treatment for psychological trauma; others may miss out on earnings or be left unable to perform a job that has been their livelihood for their entire adult life. In these cases, compensation could be vital in helping them to make a full recovery from the injuries or keep up mortgage payments on a family home. These factors can't be ignored and many people are realising that they have little option but to make a claim."

Another reason for making a compensation claim following a work injury is that it could be the first step towards making sure this type of incident does not happen again. No employer wants to face multiple payouts or incidents as a result of its negligence, so they are likely to move swiftly to resolve the problem.

It's not just workplace accidents, either. Industrial disease claims are just as valid, with mesothelioma and asbestos-related cancer two of the most serious health issues that can occur as a result of a workplace environment.

Fentons allows clients to keep 100% of the compensation that's won, as well as offering a no win no fee policy. It also provides access to solicitors from day one, meaning clients can get advice on whether it is worth them pursuing a compensation claim.
