Injured at work? You don’t have to deal with it alone. We help workers across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire claim compensation after accidents in the workplace.
When you go to work, you expect to be safe. Employers have a legal duty to keep the workplace free from unnecessary risks, whether that’s through training, equipment, proper supervision, or maintaining a safe environment. But when they fail, and an accident happens, it can have serious effects — physically, emotionally, and financially.
Whether you work in an office, warehouse, factory, construction site, or care home, we’re here to help if you’ve been injured through no fault of your own. We understand the stress that follows a workplace injury — from time off work to worrying about income or job security. We’ll support you through the claims process with clear, friendly advice at every stage.
Workplace accidents come in all forms. Some of the most common claims we deal with include:
Falls from height, ladders or scaffolding
Manual handling injuries (lifting or moving heavy items)
Slips and trips on wet or uneven floors
Accidents involving machinery or tools
Exposure to hazardous substances or chemicals
Cuts, burns or crush injuries
Repetitive strain injuries
Lack of PPE (personal protective equipment) or unsafe procedures
Even if you’re unsure who was responsible, or you feel nervous about claiming against your employer, it’s worth speaking to us. Your employer is legally not allowed to treat you unfairly for making a claim, and most claims are handled by their insurance provider — not out of their own pocket.
You may still be eligible to claim.
Even if you’re not a full-time employee, you may still be owed a duty of care. This includes agency workers, freelancers, temps, and self-employed contractors. If you were working under someone else’s supervision or in their premises when the accident happened, you may still have a claim.
You may still be able to claim.
Ideally, all workplace accidents should be recorded in the accident book and reported to management. But if you didn’t report it at the time — or if your employer failed to log it properly — don’t panic. We’ll help you gather other evidence such as:
Witness statements
Photos, messages or emails
Medical records
Health & Safety Executive (HSE) reports, if applicable
If you’ve been injured at work, you could be entitled to claim for:
Lost earnings and future loss of income
Medical costs, rehabilitation, or treatment
Travel costs and out-of-pocket expenses
Pain and suffering caused by the injury
We act on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s nothing to pay upfront and no risk if your claim doesn’t go ahead. Our solicitors will explain your options clearly, keep you updated throughout, and handle the paperwork so you can focus on your recovery.
How long do I have to make a claim?
You have up to 3 years from the date of the accident. If you were under 18 at the time, the clock starts on your 18th birthday.
What if my employer blames me?
You may still have a valid claim. We’ll investigate and determine whether your employer failed in their legal duties, even if you were partly at fault.
Can I be fired for making a claim?
No — it’s illegal for an employer to dismiss or penalise you for exercising your legal right to compensation.
Is it confidential?
Yes, your claim is handled with complete confidentiality and professionalism.
