Migrant Worker Injury Claim Experts
Migrants are an essential part of the UK workforce. They often carry out some of the most tasking jobs and may work in industries where dangerous accidents happen. It’s crucial to know your employment rights, and migrant workers in the UK have the same right to claim compensation for an accident at work that wasn’t their fault.
If you’re a migrant and have been injured in an accident at work in the UK, you may feel unsure about what to do. Although claiming compensation in a foreign country may seem daunting, PSR solicitors are on hand to take you step by step through the process.
Our specialist Work Injury Claims Solicitors can help secure damages to fund any expenses due to your injury, including medical bills, mental health support and travel expenses. A payout can also cover any financial losses if your injury affects your ability to work.
We’re committed to getting the best outcome for you and have a track record of securing the highest amount of compensation for our clients through skilful negotiation and thorough knowledge of the law; this means you can feel confident with PSR by your side that you will be awarded the full amount needed to help you move on with your life.
Right from the very first contact with PSR Solicitors I knew I was in safe hands.
I contacted PSR after hearing about their efficiency and expert knowledge. They charge a relatively small fee and made the process completely stress free.
I have dealt with many firms over the years, and this firm has been on another level compared to others. The customer service, knowledge and speedy completion of the sale was much appreciated.
Quality and professional service. My claim was dealt with very quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend.
Great highly recommend
As a migrant worker, you may feel alone and confused dealing with complex legal matters in a foreign country. Your status as a foreign resident or language skills should not be a barrier to justice. Migrant workers are protected by UK health and safety laws, which means if you were injured in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Our work injury solicitors can help you receive the compensation you deserve. Getting the money you need can make a massive difference to your life by easing the financial burden left by your injury and contributing to your care and rehabilitation so you can get on the road to recovery and back to normal as soon as possible.
At PSR Solicitors, we use only qualified personal injury solicitors to ensure you receive the maximum amount you’re entitled to. We’ll take care of you every step of the way so you can concentrate on your recovery.
As a foreign national, you may not know your employment rights. You may ask yourself if you can claim compensation as a migrant worker.
If you’re worried that it may be difficult (or even possible) to claim compensation, rest assured that as a migrant worker, you have the same rights as UK workers, and your employer has the same responsibility to ensure a safe working environment.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must provide all their employees – including migrant workers – with a safe working environment, adequate PPE and understandable safety training so they can do their jobs without risk of illness or injury.
So, if your employer fails in their duty of care, you may be able to pursue compensation.
You can claim for general damages, which is the pain and suffering caused by the accident itself and special damages which include recompense for any loss of income and additional expenses as a result of the accident.
Your compensation claim will cover expenses such as:
The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the severity of your injuries and the likelihood of making a full recovery.
If your employer accepts responsibility for your injuries, we could help you get early compensation payments. Interim payments can help you pay for ongoing care costs and expenses before your claim has settled.
You may be reluctant to claim compensation against your employer for fear of dismissal or facing even more problems at work. It is against the law for your employer to fire you or make you feel uncomfortable at work to push you out the door. Migrant workers have the same employment rights in the UK as others, giving you confidence to claim the compensation you need.
Whether you’re self-employed or employed on a short-term basis, you’re still entitled to a safe working environment, no matter what.
Employees, contractors, self-employed people and agency workers can all claim compensation because you have UK workers’ rights concerning workplace health and safety. It is the workplace owner’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the working environment.
If you’re an agency worker and get injured at work through no fault of your own, both the place you work and the agency that hired you are responsible; this is because they must both ensure that proper safety measures are in place.
Get in touch with PSR solicitors today to book a free consultation. Our friendly, expert legal team will carefully listen to your side so we can find out the details of your case. Using the information you give us, we’ll consider whether or not you have a claim worth pursuing.
If your claim for compensation is viable, we’ll look at how you can fund it. Our No Win No Fee Solicitors work with most clients on a No Win No Fee basis. If you are eligible, this means there’s no financial risk to you if your claim is unsuccessful.
Whether you’re an agency worker, contractor, casual worker or employed on a permanent contract, you’ll get expert legal advice and peace of mind knowing your injury at work claim is being dealt with effectively.
At PSR Solicitors, we use only qualified solicitors to deal with your case; this commitment to giving you the highest legal service means we consistently recover the highest award of compensation possible.
We’re experienced in achieving positive outcomes for our migrant worker injury claims. However, we also understand that no amount of money makes up for the pain and suffering of your injury. We handle each case sensitively, so you don’t have to suffer this alone. While you’re awaiting your compensation award, we’ll even help you access any other benefits or support you may be entitled to.
We’re aware that as a migrant worker, communication might be difficult, depending on your level of English. Our dedicated employment lawyers will guide you through the process using clear English and ensure you always know what’s happening.
The time it takes to settle a personal injury claim will vary. There are three main things to consider: how quickly evidence can be gathered, whether the party responsible accepts blame, and the specifics of your injury. For example, if evidence is readily available and the other party admits fault, things can move faster. But if your injury is complex or severe, it might take a bit longer to figure out fair compensation. Every case is unique, so the timeline can differ.
The most common accidents that cause injury are slips, trips and falls, vehicle collisions and those involving heavy lifting or carrying.
Serious accidents are more likely in commercial fishing, agriculture and construction. These industries often attract migrant workers, which means they are at a higher risk of injury.
The nature of the work that many migrants do means some workplace injuries are left unreported to the HSE. When risks are ignored, lessons are not learnt, which can lead to more people being hurt.
Negligence is when your employer does not adequately implement processes and procedures to protect you from harm. UK employers have the same responsibility to protect you from harm if you are a migrant as they do for UK nationals.
From our experience of helping migrant workers, some of the most common examples are:
Typically, the time limit for making a claim is three years from the date of the accident, but there are some exceptions where the law acknowledges that this may be too short in certain circumstances.
In situations, for example, where the workplace causes an illness, the period begins from when the symptoms first appear, or the disease is linked to the workplace. Another exception would be if the claimant was under 18 when the accident occurred. Then, they have three years to claim from the date of their 18th birthday.
At PSR Solicitors, we guarantee that your claim will be handled by a fully qualified solicitor, which is why we achieve higher levels of compensation than our rivals. Not all legal firms employ qualified legal specialists for personal injury claims, often resulting in lost or significantly reduced settlements.
