Accident Advice Helpline Highlight the Requirements for an Injury at Work Claim

LONDON - June 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Accident Advice Helpline, a leading UK law firm, has outlined the minimum requirements accepted for an employee to launch a claim for accident at work compensation. The guidelines will help workers to decide if they have grounds for a claim, and also inform them of the first steps to take.

Accident Advice Helpline have already helped thousands of UK workers to claim the compensation they deserve for accidents at work, from health and safety failings and repetitive strain injuries, to industrial deafness and vibrating equipment injuries. If a worker is hurt, or injured in a workplace accident that wasn’t their fault, they could be entitled to compensation.

But if they are to launch an injury at work claim, one of the most important requirements is that they do so within the approved timeframe. According to current government legislation, any claim for accident at work compensation must be launched within three years of the date of the accident. This might seem like a long time, but the victim must first seek advice from a legal professional to decide whether they have grounds for a claim. If they do, their next requirement is to find a qualified work injury lawyer (http://www.accidentadvicehelpline.co.uk/workers-compensat...) to represent them.

While members of a trade union might be able to use their legal services, many claimants will choose reputable no win no fee solicitor like Accident Advice Helpline, who offer years of combined experience pursuing successful accident at work claims, which earn mistreated workers the compensation they deserve. More than £30 million is awarded each year in successful injury claims, but Accident Advice Helpline only act where there are legitimate grounds to do so.

TV consumer champion Esther Rantzen has long been a supporter of the Accident Advice Helpline, and speaking on behalf of the firm she said: “After thoroughly investigating Accident Advice Helpline, I have found that they are indeed fighting on behalf of innocent victims who would otherwise not receive the compensation they deserve.”

“One of their experienced advisors will help you every step of the way and you can find out within minutes whether you could claim”.

By law, all employers must hold liability insurance in order to cover such claims. Laws also protect the claimant from reproach by their employer.
