An industrial disease is a health condition or illness caused by an unsafe work environment and can take many forms such as noise induced hearing loss, repetitive strain injury or chest conditions.
Sometimes an illness will develop soon after you first start the work that caused it, and sometimes it may develop – or only be noticeable – many years later. Either way, it can still be a recognisable industrial disease for which you are entitled to compensation.
By bringing your claim to us we promise to do our utmost to get you the compensation that you deserve.
You will be assigned a personal claim handler who will guide you through your claim. They will provide you with regular updates throughout and can answer any questions or concerns you have.
Whether you need treatment, a personal carer, a temporary replacement vehicle or other, we can arrange it for you as part of our stress-free claim service to you.
After an accident, your injuries may require treatment that need to be paid for. Your injuries may force you to take time off work, resulting in loss of earnings. If you were involved in a road traffic accident and your car has been written off or requires repairs, you would have to pay for a temporary replacement vehicle to continue with your day-to-day. But should you pay the price for someone else's fault?
By claiming compensation, we will help you claim back as much of what you lost as possible as a result of the accident.
For most accidents, you will have 3 years after the occurrence of the accident to claim.
For industrial disease claims, you have 3 years from when you realise that your symptoms are caused by a work-related illness, or when it is discovered by a medical expert.
People of all ages can claim compensation. The only limitation is that the UK law prevents anyone under the age of 18 years from filing their own personal injury claim. Instead, a parent or legal guardian can represent the child and file a compensation claim on behalf of the child.
You are welcome to claim after making a full recovery, as long as your claim is made within the time permitted for your accident (known as the limitation period).
Only 3% of cases we handle go to trial. The court is seen as a last resort when neither side can come to an agreement on liability (the fault of the accident), or settlement offer, or other.
We will always try to do everything we can to settle a case before it reaches the court. In the event it does reach the court, we will fully support and prepare you for this.
With over 25 years experience in personal injury claims, we are one of the most highly experienced accident injury specialists in the whole of the UK.
We are accredited by the Law Society and fully regulated with audits on a yearly basis to ensure that our high standards are kept.
Although Scott Rees & Co are based in Newton-le-Willows, you do not need to be local to us to use our services as we are a national solicitor firm. We can assist with most personal injury claims by sending letters, emails and phone calls only. On the off chance we need to meet with you face to face, we are fully prepared to travel across the UK.
It is an agreement that we will only charge for our service if we help you win your case. In the reverse, this also means that you will not have to pay us for our time if your claim is unsuccessful.
At Scott Rees & Co, the majority of personal injury claims we take on will be under the no win, no fee policy. This will be made clear to you when you bring your claim to us.
The no win, no fee system makes us affordable to all because there are no upfront costs to pay. Simply pick up the phone, tell us about the accident and we will assess whether we can help you with your claim or not.
Unsure if you are entitled to compensation? Don’t worry! Call us today and let the professionals assess your case for you.
