\"accidentClaiming compensation from your employer can be a little daunting for many people. There is a worry about what your employer might think of you, or whether they will treat you any differently or even whether they may get rid of you!<\/p>\n

This quick blog is here to put your mind at ease.<\/p>\n

The law protects you<\/strong><\/p>\n

You cannot be sacked or treated any differently for making a claim for personal injury compensation<\/a>. If you were, you may well have an employment claim to make against them as well! So don\u2019t worry, you are fully protected; a fact that your employer should be fully aware of.
\n<\/p>\n

You’re insured<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the law for employers to have a policy of employer\u2019s liability insurance. This insurance exists for people just like you to make a claim from. All you\u2019re doing when you make a personal injury compensation claim for a work accident<\/a> is just recovering compensation from insurance that is already there to cover you. Use it!<\/p>\n

Compensation is common<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thousands of people each year make a claim for workers compensation, and your employer has probably been sued thousands of times, especially if they are a huge company. They know the score, and most of the time all they do is pass the claim over to their insurers to deal with for them.<\/p>\n

It’s No Win, No Fee and you keep 100% of your payout<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

If we take your claim on and it don\u2019t win, you don\u2019t pay a penny! And if the claim wins, you keep all 100% of your payout. So what do you have to lose? Call us now on 0800 634 75 75 today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
