Accident at Work Claims – No Win No Fee Solicitor Bolton, Wigan, Oldham, Stockport

If you’ve been injured in an accident at work, you may be entitled to compensation. Employers have a legal duty to keep workplaces safe. When they fail to do so and you’re injured as a result, the law is on your side.

At Inson Legal, I help people across Bolton and Greater Manchester and the North West bring successful workplace accident claims. I offer No Win No Fee legal representation, meaning you don’t pay anything unless your claim succeeds. Whether you're in construction, manufacturing, warehousing, transport, or retail, if your employer failed to protect you, I’m here to help.

Your Employer’s Responsibilities Under the Law

Employers in the UK are legally bound by several regulations, including:

• The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, which requires all employers to take reasonable steps to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees.

• The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which require employers to assess risks and implement controls.

• Industry-specific legislation and guidance (such as PUWER and LOLER) covering machinery, lifting, and equipment.

Employers must:

• Provide proper training and supervision

• Maintain safe equipment and working conditions

• Supply personal protective equipment (PPE) where necessary

• Act on hazards or safety concerns in a timely manner

If they’ve failed in any of these duties and an accident has occurred, they may be held liable.

Industries Where Workplace Accidents Commonly Occur

Workplace accidents can happen in almost any setting, but are particularly common in:

• Construction and building sites, involving falls from height, machinery, or manual handling

• Warehousing and logistics, where lifting injuries and forklift accidents are prevalent

• Factories and manufacturing, where unguarded machinery or poor maintenance creates risks

• Retail, hospitality, and care work, where slips, trips, and inadequate staffing contribute to incidents

• Driving and transport roles, involving collisions, load handling, or long hours

You don’t need to work in a “high-risk” industry to make a valid claim — if you were injured due to unsafe conditions, lack of training, or employer negligence, you may have a case.

The Accident At Work Claims Process

Here’s how the typical accident at work claim process works when you instruct Inson Legal:

1. Initial Consultation
   I’ll discuss the circumstances of the accident, who was at fault, and whether your claim qualifies for No Win No Fee.

2. Gathering Evidence
   I’ll obtain witness statements, police reports, dashcam footage, and photographs where available to support your claim.

3. The Claim is transmitted to the Defendant insurer on the employers liability portal.
   A formal Claims Notification Form is sent to the at-fault driver’s insurer, setting out the basis of your claim.

4. Liability Response
   The insurer has 1 business day to acknowledge and up to 30 days to investigate and provide a Response. This will either admit or deny liability.

5. Medical Evidence
   I’ll arrange an independent medical examination to assess the impact of your injuries and future recovery needs.

6. Negotiation and Settlement
   Once medical evidence is complete, I’ll begin negotiating a fair settlement by submitting a Settlement Pack on the portal. Many claims settle without going to court.

7. Court Proceedings (if necessary)
   If liability is denied or a fair settlement isn’t reached, I can issue court proceedings and represent you through the litigation process.
