If a personal injury has hampered your ability to look for a job or, worse still, led to unemployment itself, there may be a way to make it right.
Nobody should have to suffer the consequences of an injury that wasn't their fault, so we are here to help you whatever the circumstances of your working life if you've been involved in an accident.
Can I make a personal injury claim if I'm unemployed?
Whether you have been injured in a public place or a private setting like home, you do not need to be in employment to be able to make a claim.
The accident might have occurred because of poorly maintained public pathways or poorly installed appliances. If it feels wrong, it often doesn't matter if you have a job when it comes to genuine claims for compensation.
Can I claim for an accident at work in my old job?
You might have suffered an accident at work in a previous job and it might be affecting your long-term chances of working to your full potential again. If this is the case and the accident happened in the last three years, you might have a right to claim.
