Employers' Liability Claims Handling

Outsourced Loss Adjustment for Employers' Liability Claims

Having been leading advisors to global companies, we know what we’re talking about when it comes to employers’ liability claims handling.

Whether it’s a simple accident at work or something more serious, we can provide you with an excellent, cost effective and hassle free service that’s tailored to your needs.

It is extremely important that an accident investigation is commenced as soon as ever possible once the accident has happened. This is to preserve evidence and to minimise exploitation of any delay.

It is key to a strong defence to ensure that witness statements are obtained whilst memory of the accident is fresh in the mind and documents are readily available and indeed, used, such as a basic accident report form.

It is also essential to keep costs minimised by way of avoiding an application for pre-action disclosure which a claimant’s representative is perfectly entitled to make if the investigation is not made timely and the documents disclosed within the pre-action protocol in personal injury and/or disease and illness claims.

Time is of the essence with accident investigation and we therefore look to deal with new instructions by email unless you require otherwise.

Subject to your needs, we can:

• Attend the site of the accident or make telephone enquiries
• Take detailed witness statements
• Take relevant photographic evidence
• Obtain and review all relevant and/or disclosable documents
• Provide pre-action advice and a disclosure statement prior to the expiry of the appropriate pre-action protocol, subject to timely instruction
• Deal with applications for pre-action disclosure, including costs
• Consider statutory duty and common law provisions on liability
• Provide high quality advice on liability, quantum and tactical consideration by way of written report, including a cost / risk analysis

All this from fully qualified and highly experienced Solicitors at an attractive cost.

We can provide with all of this as a fixed cost solution or a highly competitive hourly rate, whichever suits your needs.
