As a client, I felt that the utmost convenience was always provided by SOS. Communication was very good. Correspondence was timely and relevant. Would 100% recommend this firm.

Ciara

All interaction was very convenient, no need to take time off work to have face to face meetings. E-mails were fast and made the whole process straightforward. Easy to tell tat working hours were not just 9 to 5 Monday to Friday as I received replies and e-mails after hours when needed.

Client, Cork

What we found best was the professionalism of the service overall, the confidentiality, empathy and understanding. Communication was always clear in both e-mail and in person. Response times to e-mails, and meetings, was very good. I believe your fees are very competitive, and good value for your service.

Can you be fired from claiming against your Employer?

Your employer is not permitted to fire you for making a claim for compensation after you suffered a workplace accident. This would result in an unfair dismissal and you would have a separate claim to pursue in that scenario. Most employers will have accident insurance.

Can I make a claim myself without a Specialist Workplace Accident Solicitor?

Yes you can make a claim through the Injuries Board yourself. However, the person you are claiming against (who will often be an Insurance Company rather than your employer) is under no obligation to advise you on whether any offer or award is a fair reflection on what you are entitled to as a claim for pain and suffering as well as your medical expenses and loss of earnings. A specialist workplace accident solicitor will be able to help guide you on what you are entitled to receive.

How long do I have to make a Workplace Accident Claim?

You need to make claim within two years of the accident. However, you need to notify the person you are claiming against within one month of the accident.
