01 / YOUR SITUATION

Accidents at Work solicitors
in Belfast.

Being injured at work can bring worries about recovery, income and the future. A legal enquiry starts with understanding the incident and its effect, together with the records and information available.

Workplace accidents can affect your health, earnings and everyday life. We provide advice on potential claims and guide clients through the legal process.

02 / FOCUSED SUPPORT

Looking closely at the circumstances.

We discuss what you were doing, how the accident occurred and whether it was recorded or investigated. Relevant information may include the equipment involved, instructions you received and accounts from witnesses. We also consider the effect on your work, treatment and everyday activities.

  • Workplace accident and injury enquiries
  • Accident reports and supporting information
  • Equipment, premises and work activities
  • The effect on earnings and daily life
  • Assessment and progression of a potential claim
03 / BEFORE WE TALK

A useful starting point.

You do not need to have everything ready before making contact. If available, the following information can help us understand your enquiry:

  • A short account of the incident and its date
  • Any accident report or employer correspondence
  • Photographs and witness information, if available
  • Details of medical treatment, absence and expenses

Mention any approaching dates when you call. For an urgent matter, telephone the office rather than relying on email.

04 / THE WAY FORWARD

YOUR QUESTIONS

Questions about getting started.

Every matter is different. We can discuss the details of your situation when you get in touch.

Ask us a question
01What information helps with an initial workplace injury enquiry?

Start with when and where the incident happened, what work you were doing and the injury you sustained. Tell us whether it was reported and whether anyone witnessed it. You can provide further documents as the enquiry develops.

02What happens at the first appointment?

We discuss your circumstances, review the information available and identify the questions that need attention. It is also an opportunity to ask about the proposed work, communication, likely next steps and costs before deciding how to proceed.

03How will costs and funding be discussed?

Ask about costs at the outset. The proposed arrangement will depend on the nature and scope of the work and your circumstances. We can discuss the basis of the work and any relevant funding questions before you instruct us.
