Compensation Consultant

What Are They And How Do You Find them?

A Compensation consultant can help you when you have been injured at the workplace and your employer’s insurance company refuse to pay your claim for any loss of wages, pain and suffering, and even future income if you lose your job because you are no longer able to work.

All employers in the UK are required to have workman’s compensation insurance and they are not allowed to terminate your position if you file a claim.

If you have been denied compensation for your injury, you may have to hire a solicitor to act as your compensation consultant.

How Can I Help My Compensation Consultant?

First off, the best solicitors are those that work in a law firm that specializes in claiming compensation for work related injuries.

Sometimes, your injury may require your input on how the injury occurred, what witnesses saw your injury take place, including any supervisors, or if it was in a company vehicle and you had an accident a report of that accident.

The more information you provide to your compensation solicitors the better they will be able to help you so that you can receive the level of compensation you deserve.

Sometimes they will need to rely on you and your witnesses to provide information on your employer, jobsite, equipment or the company vehicle that was at fault in your work related injury.

Your doctor is also a person who you should trust to give information to your solicitor because they have examined you and if you have a work related injury and they diagnose you with a work related injury, they can help your solicitor to win your case through their witness testimony and medical reports.

How Do Compensation Consultants Work?

After suffering your work related injury, you most likely followed the rules and notified your employer, made a trip to the hospital or to your doctor.

This being the case everyone should, during the course of the claim, have communicated with the employer’s insurance representative to get your claim paid.

Sometimes this is not the case and claims are denied. When this happens, you can employ a compensation consultant to pursue the compensation claim on your behalf.

Many compensation solicitors work on a no win, no fee basis where if they do not win any compensation for you then you don’t have to pay them.

They look at your case and help you prove the employer’s liability or if you have no witnesses, often they can even win a split liability where your employer can at the very least be responsible for 50% of your accident or work related injury.

How Do I Choose a Compensation Consultant?

You may see advertisements on television or on the radio for law firms who say they are experts in the compensation field, but what questions should you ask them to make sure they are?

You should ask these law firms in advance if they are regulated by the Law Society and are they qualified in the area of managing, and winning, compensation claims. Ask for references and examples of cases they have won.

Make sure they are willing to work on a no win, no fee basis and, if you are using a claim management company, ensure they have a license from the Ministry of Justice that entitles them to handle your case. Ask them for the CRM number and check with the Ministry of Justice that the license is valid.
