As part of our ongoing pledge to make sure our clients keep all 100% of their payout since the law changed last year, resulting in most other lawyers now taking 25% from payouts, we’ve been asked a fair few times if this is the case for forklift truck accidents in the workplace.
The great news is that we do offer 100% compensation agreements for most workplace accident claims, and forklift truck accidents are no different!
How it works
Forklift trucks are normally classed as work equipment, so a very stringent set of rules that form The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992 regulations apply here. Your employer must adhere to these rules, which include making sure that work equipment like forklift trucks are maintained in an efficient state, efficient working order, and in good repair. In addition, proper training and supervision should be achieved as well.
So if the forklift truck is dangerous, defective, or unsuitable, you may have a good claim for personal injury compensation to make against your employer.
If the prospects are good, we can offer a No Win, No Fee agreement which means we will not charge you if the clam doesn’t win. If it does win, we recover what legal fees we can from the other side and you keep all 100% of your payout.
Why can we offer 100% when others can’t?
We take on and win a lot of work accident compensation claims, including a lot of forklift truck accident claims. As such, we can accept less fees per case as we take many more on than a lot of other law firms. We also specialise in work accident claims which makes us efficient in the way that we work so we can provide you with an excellent service and let you keep all 100% of your payout.
Other solicitors will want 25% from your payout to cover their Success Fee which is no longer recoverable from the opponent. The quarter of your payout example is common as they are not allowed to take any more than that.
What we do is simply agree to waive this fee and recover the normal legal fees all solicitors are still entitled to get.
