Our sensitive and understanding solicitors will speak with you to get to grips with every aspect of your situation. We will note everything that happened and exactly what the cause of your poisoning was. People working with noxious substances or emissions, or who require you to work with them, owe you a duty to ensure that you do not suffer the worst effects of poisoning. Likewise, people responsible for making and selling your food have a responsibility to make sure that the food is safe.

If you are suffering from illness as a result of poisoning, then contact the dedicated solicitors at Jones Whyte today. We will do all we can to ensure that you obtain the compensation you deserve. We will assist you in understanding how the responsible party breached their duty to you, and what you are entitled to, considering that your illness was caused by their negligence.

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.

Making poisoning claims

Poisoning claims can be more complex than other personal injury claims.

That is because symptoms can vary a lot, depending on the nature of the poison. Common poisoning symptoms include:

  • Ensuring workplaces were well-ventilated.
  • Providing PPE, such as masks or gloves.
  • Ensuring work areas were clean at the end of the day.

The severity of symptoms can vary dramatically between individuals, that’s why Jones Whyte solicitors treat all poisoning claims differently.
