This area covers injuries that happen at work or arise from work activities, including slips and falls, accidents caused by equipment, or occupational diseases linked to job duties. A solicitor in this field investigates how the injury occurred, identifies liable parties, and pursues compensation for injury, loss of earnings, and medical costs through settlement discussions or court proceedings. It involves engaging with employers, insurers, and medical experts to establish liability and assess damages.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor handles investigations, gathers medical records and wage documents, negotiates with insurers, and, if needed, issues a claim in the appropriate court or tribunal. They navigate compensatory schemes, such as the Civil Procedure Rules for personal injury, and instruct medical and expert witnesses to support liability and quantum.
