Workplace Injury Claims Solicitors

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident or from when you first became aware of a work-related injury or illness. However, there are exceptions: 

• For children, the three-year period starts from their 18th birthday 
• Some industrial diseases may have different limitation periods 
• Psychological injuries might have a different timeline 

Don’t assume you can’t claim. Workplace accident law recognises shared responsibility: 

• You may still be entitled to compensation 
• The amount might be reduced proportionally 
• Our experts can assess the specific circumstances of your case 
• We’ll help you understand your rights and potential claim value
