At Jones Whyte, we can help you make crush injury compensation claims. Not only can this help you access immediate medical care, but it can also ensure that lessons are learned, that health and safety processes are improved and that no one is injured in this way in the future.

Crush injuries are more common in certain industries. These include:

  • Construction.
  • Farming.
  • Manufacturing.
  • Warehousing and storage.

Generally, there is a risk of crush injuries in any industry which uses heavy loads and machinery.

Making a crush injury compensation claim

Crush injuries can affect any part of the body. However, they are most likely to injure:

  • Fingers.
  • Hands.
  • Legs.
  • Torso.

If injuries occur because of a failure in processes or negligence on the part of your employer, you will be able to make a crush injury compensation claim.

That’s because employers have a duty of care towards you.

They must take steps to reduce the risk of accidents, such as:

  • Keeping the workplace, and access to it, free of hazards.
  • Ensure scaffolding is safe, to prevent anything dropping from a height.
  • Ensure everyone is trained.
  • Ensure safety signs are displayed.
  • Ensure equipment is maintained.
  • Ensure that PPE is supplied.

If they fail in any of these steps, they could be liable for crush injury compensation claims.

The Claims Process

A crush injury claim starts with a conversation with one of our experienced personal injury lawyers.

We will take your statement as a way of establishing exactly what happened. We will then thoroughly investigate the incident. This can include obtaining:

  1. Medical records.
  2. Witness statements.
  3. Expert testimony.

Most personal injury claims are settled out of court. In the unlikely occurrence that court action is required, you will find that Jones Whyte solicitors are tough and experienced litigators.

Our Fee Structure

Success Fee: If your claim is successful, our success fee is charged as a percentage of compensation awarded to you. This fee covers our legal services and includes the cost of After the Event (ATE) insurance to protect you against having to pay the other side’s costs if your claim is unsuccessful.

No Win, No Fee Explained: You will not pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. However, if we secure compensation for you, our success fee will be deducted from your compensation award before payment to you.

When You Might Be Liable for Costs:

  • If you choose to terminate your agreement with us but later succeed with your claim through other means, such as through another firm of solicitors, you may be liable for the cost of the work we have completed on your behalf.
  • In other exceptional circumstances as detailed in our instruction agreement and terms of business, such as if you have misled us or falsely represented part of your claim.

These terms will be fully outlined in your instruction agreement and Terms of Business with us, and are available for you to review before you make any binding commitment. You are under no obligation to these terms by making an initial enquiry.
