Your work accident shoulder injury claim in 5 easy steps
All employers owe their employees a duty to keep them safe at work. In practice this means having proper Health and Safety policies in place, training their staff and having appropriate safety equipment available. If you have suffered a work accident shoulder injury in an incident that was not your fault, your employer has breached this duty, and you could be entitled to claim compensation.
At Maximum Compensation we take on cases for work accident shoulder injury claims free of charge for claimants. Here is how we deal with such claims, in 5 easy steps.
Step 1 – Assess your claim
The first contact we have with our clients is when they telephone our free claims assessment line, or submit an online assessment form. Within 24 hours, a lawyer from our panel of expert solicitors will telephone you back and let you know what chance your claim has of success. Depending on the information we have available, we can also let you have an indication of how much compensation you could be entitled to for your work accident shoulder injury claim.
Step 2 – Gather the evidence
When you have formally instructed us to act, we will start to gather the evidence we need to start the claim. This may include witness reports from people who were present when the accident occurred. We will also need a report from a medical expert on the state of your shoulder. In order to have access to the very best medical practitioners, we pay for private medical appointments. If your claim is successful, we then recover this amount from the other party to the dispute. If your claim is not successful, we bear this cost.
Step 3 – Start proceedings
Next we formally start proceedings for your work accident shoulder injury claim. In the first instance this simply involves writing a letter to your employer or former employer stating your intention to sue for damages. If responsibility is clear cut for the accident, your employer or their insurer may admit liability, in which case the discussion will turn to the amount of damages to which you are entitled.
Step 4 - Settle or litigate?
98% of personal injury cases are settled before they reach the court. Whether your claim for compensation is settled or litigated, we will fight hard for the best deal that is available for you. Many clients are nervous about the prospect of going to court. It is a serious undertaking. But at Maximum Compensation our personal injury lawyers explain every stage to our claimants, to make sure that they are comfortable with what is going on.
Step 5 – Hand over 100% of the compensation
When you finally receive a compensation cheque for you work accident shoulder injury, you can rest assured that you will receive the whole amount that was awarded to you. Unlike some
personal injury firms, we do not charge success fees; we prefer to pass on all of the compensation that we have won for our clients.
If your work accident shoulder injury is very severe, use the other arm to pick up the phone to our claims assessment hotline. A lawyer from our specialist panel will reply to you within 24 hours to get started on your claim for compensation.
