Am I Eligible to Make an Accident at Work CLaim?
If you've been injured at work and are dealing with the consequences, you may be entitled to claim compensation. In the UK, employers are legally obliged to take reasonable steps to protect the health and safety of their employees under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. When they fail in that duty, you have the right to hold them accountable.
If you’ve been injured while doing your job, whether on-site, off-site or during a work-related task, and that injury was caused by unsafe conditions, poor training, or mistakes by colleagues or management, it’s important to understand your rights. You may be able to claim compensation, especially if the impact on your life has been significant. Our solicitors can help assess what happened and give you a clear understanding of your options.
Many people worry about how their employer might react to a compensation claim, but the law is on your side. Employers are legally required to have insurance to cover workplace injuries, and they are not permitted to treat you unfairly or dismiss you for making a claim. We’ll ensure your rights are protected at every stage.
Our work accident solicitors will assess the details of your situation and advise you honestly on whether you have a valid claim. If your injury has made daily life more difficult or limited your independence, we’ll work with you to understand the full extent of those challenges and ensure they’re reflected in your claim.
How Much Work Injury Compensation Could I Receive?
The level of compensation you may be entitled to following a workplace accident depends on the nature and severity of your injuries, as well as the long-term impact on your life, health, career and independence. For permanent injuries, this compensation can be substantial.
In serious injury claims, compensation is usually made up of general damages (for the injury itself and how it affects day-to-day life) and special damages (for costs and losses). Where an injury affects mobility, ability to work, or independence, the overall value can be significant because it needs to cover long-term support.
At Brian Barr Solicitors, our work accident solicitors have decades of experience securing high-value compensation in injury cases. We work with independent medical experts, occupational therapists and financial analysts to ensure that every aspect of your loss is properly considered.
If you’re unsure what your claim may be worth, or you’ve received an offer that feels too low, we can provide a detailed assessment based on your unique situation.

We are experts in workplace accident cases. This includes falls from height, construction site incidents, faulty machinery, forklift truck accidents, and injuries caused by dangerous practices or poor safety procedures. If your injury occurred in a hazardous environment, and especially if it has left you with long-term effects, we can help. Our experience spans across sectors such as construction, manufacturing, healthcare and logistics.
We represent individuals who have suffered injuries in the workplace. This includes:
- Head and brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries, including cases resulting in paralysis
- Amputations and loss of limb function
- Severe burns and scarring from chemical or electrical accidents
- Crush injuries, often involving heavy machinery or vehicles
- Chronic pain conditions, such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and fibromyalgia
- Psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Orthopaedic injuries, including multiple fractures or permanent mobility loss
These types of injuries often require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and support. We ensure your compensation reflects the true impact on your life, both now and in the future.
The strongest claims are supported by clear documentation. This might include medical records, accident book entries, witness statements, photographs of the scene, employer correspondence, proof of financial losses, and any available CCTV footage. Risk assessments, training, supervision, maintenance records, Method Statements, accident book/CCTV, RIDDOR reporting PPE provision, and staffing pressures are all valuable evidence that can help prove your case. We will help you gather the right evidence and work with independent experts where needed to support your case.
No. It is against the law for your employer to dismiss you, discipline you or change your contract because you have made a legitimate injury claim. Your employer’s liability insurance is there for this exact reason, to protect both parties in the event of an accident. If you experience any unfair treatment, we can refer you to a trusted employment law specialist.
The length of your claim depends on the extent of your injuries and whether the employer admits fault. Straightforward claims may resolve in under a year. However, serious injury cases can take longer, particularly where future medical needs, long-term care or loss of earnings must be calculated. We will keep you informed every step of the way.
I was really impressed with the team at Brian Barr helping me to achieve a settlement for my claim for fibromyalgia which was caused as a result of a car accident. I was kept well informed all the way through the process and was able to have “jargon free” conversations with Brian and Counsel about my case. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Brian Barr Solicitors.
Highly recommend this firm for their expertise in fibromyalgia. I am eternally grateful for all the hard work and care taken in supporting me during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Thank you.
Not only do I feel I made the right choice in choosing Brian Barr, I couldn’t be happier having yourself and Fiona as my counsel[...]. You made the process as smooth, reassuring and simple as possible. Myself and my wife are truly grateful for everything you’ve done for us.
