“A staggering £10billion is paid out in compensation claims every year, says the Institute of Actuaries.”

The Sun Newspaper

“Compensation is a good word, imbued with justice. Those who lose money or health through another’s crime have moral rights.”

The Times Newspaper

"As society changes, rules and regulations need to compensate that" - Martine Wright, London bomb victim

ITV News

“If you have a genuine claim – where someone else is to blame – you should be able to get compensation from those at fault. This is only fair. The victim or the tax payer shouldn’t have to pay out where someone else is to blame. But there is not always someone to blame. Genuine accidents do happen.”

Lord Falconer - BBC News

5 steps to claim for a work accident back injury

A work accident back injury can really interfere with the rest of your life. Not only can it affect your earning power, but it can also affect your enjoyment of your leisure time. So if the accident was not your fault, why not claim for compensation?

Making a claim is not as difficult as you think it might be. Follow these steps, and you could soon be compensated for your pain and suffering.

Step 1 – Choose a good lawyer

Having a good lawyer is the key to the success of your claim. Personal injuries may be widespread, but dealing with accident claims is a specialised area of the law that requires an expert to handle it best. At Maximum Compensation, our lawyers have many years’ experience of dealing with these kinds of claims. They are Law Society approved, so your claim for work accident back injury compensation will be in safe hands.

Step 2 – Claim as soon as possible

The law allows you a relatively long time to claim for personal injury. However, it is always best to claim sooner rather than later. It is technically possible to claim against a former employer for a work accident back injury. However, this could be difficult because it may be hard to find people who remember the event (to give witness statements) if staff turnover is high. Also, it becomes more difficult for a medical expert to establish a link between the accident and your injuries, the longer you leave it.

Step 3 – Get an assessment of your claim

You might feel justified in bringing your claim, but before you start thinking of the compensation you need a qualified person to look at the details and let you know whether your case is a strong one. For example, is it clear from the facts that the accident was your employer’s fault? Is it clear that the accident caused your injuries? With Maximum Compensation, all you need to do is fill in an online form or phone our free helpline, and one of our highly trained specialists will contact you within 24 hours.

Step 4 – Start proceedings

Once we have decided that your work accident back injury claim has merit, we can start to gather together the witness statements and medical reports we need to start a personal injury claim. The first step is a simple letter. Sometimes when an employer or his insurers realises that he is at fault, he can admit liability. There may however still be a battle about the amount of compensation that you are due. Maximum Compensation are expert negotiators in this scenario, and will set about trying to secure the maximum amount of compensation that you are due.

Step 5 – Going to court

If you cannot reach a settlement with your employer or their insurers, the matter will end up in court for a judge to decide. This can add a few weeks to the expected timescale of your work accident back injury case, depending on how busy the court’s schedule is. Finally, you will get a decision about your claim, and hopefully a cheque for compensation too.
