Work place injuries and disease

Unfortunately, there is no definite time scale to be given. Each claim is different so it is difficult for us to give you a definite timescale. However you can be sure at Thomson & Bancks that we will keep you up to date as much as we can and we will not know anything that you don’t.

There are a number of factors that will contribute towards how much you will receive. We will need to consider:
- The severity of your injuries
- Whether any time has been taken off work as a result of the accident, resulting in Loss of earnings
- The affect on your everyday life that your injuries have caused. Have your hobbies been affected?

Yes, as long as you were not entirely at fault for the accident. Your employer should ensure that you are working daily within a safe environment with safe systems of work. Any equipment which you are provided with should be safe and you should receive the correct training to enable you to carry out your job correctly and safely. Contact us as soon as possible to discuss your potential injury claim that you have suffered at work.

You may be entitled for compensation if you have suffered a work related illness such as hearing loss caused by exposure to noise, Asbestos- related disease, respiratory diseases, skin conditions, repetitive strain injuries or vibration syndromes. Contact us to discuss your working environment sooner so as we can help you establish whether you have been exposed to unsafe working conditions leading to your work related illness.

Each claim is completely different however most claims settle outside of court.
