Personal Injury

Accident at Work

Each year thousands of workers are left with serious injuries and illnesses as a result of their poor working conditions and their employer’s failure to ensure that they are protected in the workplace.

Many of our clients have succeeded in injury at work claims against their employers. It is vital that anyone who has suffered a personal injury at work is represented by a specialist work injury lawyer who understands the delicate nature of the situation where an employee wants to bring a claim against an employer and also the wealth of complex legislation that governs this area.

Employer’s liability insurance is required by all employers in order to cover their staff against personal injury; this means that your employer will not have to pay your compensation personally and it shouldn’t cause you any problems if you are still working there.

Making an Injury at Work Claim

Accident at Work

Often claims such as these come down to whether an employer has failed in its duties to its employees. What duties are owed may not always be immediately obvious so it is vital that the legal representative has a good knowledge of workplace law, regulations and case law so that they can advise you on the likelihood of you being able to bring a successful claim. Every employer is legally obliged to:

  • Ensure that all risks are reduced as far as reasonable;
  • Ensure that work equipment is suitable and protective equipment is provided; and
  • Ensure that all staff are trained in how to carry out their job safely.

Our team specialises in accident at work cases and have built a solid reputation working on such claims as:

  • Injuries involving lifting or manual handling;
  • Exposure to harmful or dangerous substances;
  • Repetitive strain injuries;
  • Accidents arising from falls;
  • Employees exposed to violent attacks or verbal and physical assaults.

The experience that we have in helping people with work related injuries means we can ensure our clients get the right rehabilitation and treatment early. We do not charge for dealing with initial enquiries even if we do not take the claim on. This way you can be safe in the knowledge that you can receive expert legal advice about your accident without committing to any obligations regarding fees. If we consider that you have a claim which is likely to be successful then we can offer you a “no win no fee” agreement.

It is not always possible for our clients to return to the same job but we can often open doors for them in alternative employment. We have access to case managers and employment specialists who can assist you in getting back to work.

Alex is a real star. He is capable of running the most serious clinical negligence claims. He is personable, efficient and knows his cases inside out.

All the lawyers I have worked with at Dean Wilson are well organised and thorough in their approach.

A wonderful firm that has helped me from beginning to end of my case.

Alex Brown and his team have guided and advised me during my recent personal injury claim in a most professional and courteous manner. Their advice has been faultless throughout and the attention to detail when constructing statements and building my case resulted in a settlement that was on the high side of my expectations.

After our son had an accident at work resulting in life-changing injuries, we were given the name of this law firm to help us deal with the aftermath. Ben Davey and his team were efficient, friendly and caring and, after a great deal of hard work, we achieved a very satisfactory outcome for our son. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm.

Great service and expertise during a tricky case and time in my life. Ben was brilliant and did his best to understand the confusing world of motorsport and translate to the legal world in the best way possible.

Ben Davey and Tom Saady Gardiner supported us through navigating our son’s inquest. With the professionalism of Dean Wilson, delivered by Ben and our Barrister, the outcome of the inquest recognised the failings in our son’s care, which was the outcome we had hoped to achieve. Tom’s empathy and kindness was greatly appreciated over the course of the 5 day inquest. If you find yourself in this unenviable position then we would not hesitate in recommending Dean Wilson to help you navigate this overwhelming process.

My experience with Dean Wilson was an excellent one. At the start of my claim, I didn’t understand what was going on and how it worked but thanks to Ben Davey, Jessica Edwards and the rest of the team who helped me comprehend how the claim works from start to finish and was always ready to give advice.

I had a case of medical negligence and I can’t praise Ben Davey enough. I was kept informed of everything all throughout my case which took a long time but was there to help all the way. I would highly recommend to anyone who needed help and my claim was settled way beyond what we expected.

My father sadly lost his sight due to a failure in the system in the NHS, from the moment we raised this with the team led by Ben Davey we felt in safe and trusted hands. Things were made easy for me to assist my father we came to very pragmatic conclusion to ensure my dad’s last days can be improved. Professional, supportive, timely, and kind would be my summary. Highly recommended.

I can’t thank Dean Wilson enough for what they did for me after I was involved in a horrific road traffic accident, followed by major surgery and long rehabilitation. Ben and Tom followed my case and patiently explained to me the legal intricacies of personal injury claims. They always replied promptly to my queries using easily understandable terms. They were professional throughout, extremely competent and, last but not least, very kind and empathic.
