Work Claims Bureau prides itself on progressing your claim promptly whenever it is possible to do so. No two claims are the same. How long your claim lasts is dependent on a number of factors, including:
Bearing this in mind, work accident claims typically take between 6 months and 24 months to conclude. However, this is not ‘written in stone’, and they can last a shorter or longer time than this.
Your employer faces further culpability if they take disciplinary action against you or terminate your employment simply because you make an honest claim for personal injury.

There are a number of laws that employers must follow to protect the health and safety employees. Your employer should have a policy of insurance that provides cover in the event that they have to pay compensation to a worker injured in the course of their duties.
As a Claimant, you are protected by rules that mean that you don’t have to pay any of the other side’s costs if your claim is unsuccessful, provided that you are not found by a Court to have been fundamentally dishonest.
The vast majority of work accident claims we handle work on the basis of a No Win, No Fee agreement. This means that if your claim is unsuccessful, there is nothing for you to pay (subject to the terms of the agreement). If you are successful, then the amount of damages we retain is capped at no more than 25% of what you recover.
