Union Legal Services Brochure

PERSONAL INJURY Personal injury can occur anywhere - at work, on the roads, or in other public settings, domestically and abroad. At Thompsons Solicitors, we handle cases for union members and their families ranging from minor injuries to life-altering ones, such as limb loss and spinal or brain injury. We support claims for road collisions involving various vehicles, burn injuries and on behalf of injured military personnel.

Regardless of injury severity or where an injury occurred, Thompsons Solicitors is ready to help members and their families pursue a personal injury claim.

INJURIES AT WORK Thompsons has been at the forefront of significant legal improvements in workplace health and safety for over 100 years. However, despite these improvements, the HSE still reports that approximately 140,000 workers in the construction industry alone suffer from work-related ill health or injury every year. Across all industries and workplaces, we see thousands of injuries to workers due to safety breaches including inadequate training and faulty machinery. We fight on behalf of union members for change and fair compensation. Our experience includes crush injuries, falls from height, burns, electrical injuries, injuries caused by faulty equipment, work-related stress, strain, assaults at work, slips and trips at work, and many more avoidable injuries.
