Respectful support, knowledgeable advice, steely determination and consistent diligence.
After an injury at work, it’s natural to feel uncertain and overwhelmed. Concerns about your recovery, your ability to return to work, and your financial security can quickly become overwhelming. Many injured workers also worry about how to raise safety concerns with their employer while focusing on getting better.
Our accident at work solicitors understand these feelings and are here to help you. If you have sustained an injury at work within the last three years and your employer was at fault, you may be able to bring a claim for compensation against them and receive the financial support needed to rebuild your life.
Even if you believe you may have been partly at fault, our personal injury solicitors can help to assess liability and review the event that took place. To get an initial idea of how much compensation you could potentially receive, use our Personal Injury Compensation Calculator.

When you work with our work injury lawyers, you will be supported and encouraged by a professional and proactive team, who can help with matters including:
Head injuries can have life-changing effects on your quality of life and ability to work. Our specialist work injury lawyers can guide you through making an injury at work claim to help you access the medical treatment, financial support, and full work injury compensation that you deserve.
Our expert brain and head injury solicitors at Warner Goodman will ensure that your legal experience is supportive and moves at a pace that you’re comfortable with. They will learn the details of your head injury and help you pursue a no-win, no-fee accident at work claim wherever suitable.
Back injuries are an unfortunately common reason for long-term absences from the workplace. If you’ve suffered a back injury or have back pain due to heavy lifting, unsafe conditions, or poor training, our injury at work lawyers can help.
When making a workplace injury claim, our team can help you secure compensation for loss of earnings, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
If you are an employee who has fallen from a ladder, scaffolding, or other raised area at work, our team of work injury lawyers can help. We will help identify the liable party and determine how their negligence contributed to the accident and unsafe conditions, enabling you to make a work accident claim on a no-win, no-fee basis.
Slips and trips may seem initially trivial, but they can cause broken bones, sprains, head injuries, and other lasting issues. If you have been hurt due to poor lighting, uneven flooring, slippery surfaces, or other improper conditions, then you may be entitled to make an injured at work claim.
Our expert trip, slip, or fall team can help you at every stage of the workplace injury claim process, ensuring that your experience is accounted for, and that you get the support and compensation you need.
Poorly maintained or faulty work equipment can cause serious accidents. If you have been injured due to defective tools or machinery, our injury at work lawyers can help.
Warner Goodman’s expert solicitors can investigate the incident and assess where your employer failed to meet health and safety obligations, providing evidence to build your claim for compensation.
Falling objects in the workplace can cause significant injuries when they strike you or cause indirect harm. If this has happened to you, our work injury lawyers can help. We’ll secure the work injury compensation that you deserve, ensuring that you don’t face the financial burden alone.
Psychological injuries should be considered with just as much seriousness as physical ones. If you have developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of a workplace incident or ongoing trauma, then our injury at work lawyers can support you.
Our experts understand the lasting impact that PTSD can have on you and your family, and will ensure that you can access the treatment, resources, and work injury compensation that you are owed.
Neck injuries, such as whiplash or severe spinal damage, can cause long-term pain and struggle. If your injury was caused by an accident at work, then our injury at work lawyers can help you to seek compensation. We can assist you at any stage of the work accident claim, gathering evidence and witness statements, and helping you to secure compensation.
Warehouses are high-risk environments, characterised by the presence of vehicles, heavy objects, and hazardous procedures. If you have been injured while working in a warehouse, our work injury lawyers can help.
We’ll gather evidence and witness statements, as well as medical records and copies of workplace policies and relevant procedures. Our priority is securing compensation for your medical costs, lost earnings, and ongoing care, working on a no win no fee basis wherever possible.
Eye injuries can have debilitating consequences ranging from temporary damage and irritation to permanent loss of vision. If inadequate protective equipment, unsafe conditions, or defective machinery led to your eye injury, you may be liable to make a workplace injury claim.
At Warner Goodman, we will work hard to help you with your workplace eye injury claim. We recognise how distressing an eye injury can be and will provide support wherever possible, prioritising your comfort and safety.
Our accident at work solicitors are committed to helping employees, offering a free initial review of your accident where we can assess the extent of your injuries and how they have impacted you and your loved ones’ lives.
We believe that everyone should be safe at work. We have extensive experience with work accident claims and a track record of securing maximum compensation. Many of our personal injury solicitors are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and the Law Society Personal Injury Panel.
We are also proudly accredited with the Lexcel Quality Mark and are members of LawNet, which recognises our commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction levels.
Yes, you may be able to claim for an accident at work if the injury happened due to your employer failing to provide a safe working environment. For example, lack of training, protective equipment, and unsafe working practices could all lead to the possibility of you pursuing a work accident claim.
The accident at work process can be intimidating, particularly if you are in recovery or preoccupied with adjusting to your new way of life. Warner Goodman’s accident at work solicitors can guide you through each stage of the process, but the key steps are:
In most cases, a work injury claim can be pursued on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning that you won’t have to pay legal fees upfront or out of pocket.
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to make a claim. However, exceptions apply if you have been made aware of the injury at a later date, such as repetitive strain. In that case, the three years start from the date that you became aware of the injury.
The financial amount of a work injury compensation claim will depend on several factors, such as the severity of your injury, its impact on your daily life and ability to earn an income, and any relevant treatment costs. This amount typically includes general damages for pain, suffering, and impact, as well as special damages, which include the financial losses and expenses resulting from the incident.
Your employer is obligated to ensure that your workplace is safe and poses no danger to you, regardless of whether you operate machinery or work in an office. This means providing:
Your employer may be directly liable for your accident, or they may be liable because they failed to take action when there was an issue. Alternatively, they may be vicariously liable if a colleague caused your accident. We can discuss the circumstances of your accident and ascertain which applies to your situation.
As an employee, you have the right not to be treated detrimentally for making a personal injury claim. If this does happen, you may have grounds to make a claim for unfair dismissal or constructive unfair dismissal. We understand that you may have concerns about this prospect, so we can put you in touch with our colleagues in the employment law team to help put your mind at ease.
If you have been injured at work, you are strongly advised to contact a solicitor as soon as possible, and follow these steps:
If you have been injured at work, whether due to an accident, equipment, unsafe conditions, or any other matter that harmed you as an employee, then you may be able to make an accident at work claim. However, there are typically time restrictions involved, and it can be difficult to obtain evidence after the fact.
Therefore, you must receive the right legal advice in a timely fashion. Members of our personal injury team specialise in employer liability claims, and can clearly advise you of the process of making a compensation claim if you have had an accident at work.
