How we can help

Carrs Solicitors regularly pursue compensation cases on behalf of our clients who have been injured in industrial accidents arising from unsafe systems of work, or other employer's negligence or that of colleagues or third parties.

Often in serious injury cases an employer's charm offensive is initiated with the victim's family while behind the scenes the employer and their insurer’s move very quickly to protect their interests.

This is quite proper where preserving evidence and investigating are the only motives but at times this can become an exercise in sanitising the accident scene and records and potential witnesses are told that they are not allowed to speak to the claimant or their representative or to say anything critical of the employer. It should also be kept in mind that employers are bound to act in accordance with the terms imposed by their insurers who make use of advice from their legal representatives designed to minimise the insurer's liability to pay damages from the outset. Sometimes the offers of support to family can be followed by offers of early settlement well under the claim's true value. In such circumstances clients need independent legal advice and representation of their interests to try to place the injured party on a more equal footing.
