Compensation for Teaching Assistant Injured at Work

Bartletts Solicitors recently represented a part-time teaching assistant at a primary school who was injured in an accident at work through no fault of his own and later successfully claimed compensation from his employer. One day while he was carrying out his duties a tabletop fell on our client causing a serious fracture to his wrist.

He subsequently underwent two complicated and painful operations, and required care and assistance with day-to-day tasks for an extended period, during which time his arm was completely useless and he was unable to work at the school.

The injured party contacted Bartletts Solicitors, and afterwards engaged our firm to make a no win no fee compensation claim against the local education authority that he worked for. We were able to establish that the tabletop was in a hazardous state of disrepair at the time of the accident, and capable of falling off and causing injury at any point. This meant that the negligence of the employer was the primary cause of our client’s injuries. Following an admission of liability by the local council in question, our client received £20,000 in compensation, in addition a sum covering his travel and medical costs.

Our firm has been representing clients in personal injury claims for 51 years now, and has claimed compensation for a number of teachers and teaching assistants injured at work during that time. Our no win no fee service for accidents at work is available nationwide.
Claiming with us is easy. Get a free no obligation initial consultation about your case, your rights, and our no win no fee agreement. All information can be taken over the phone. Medical treatment is local to you. We aim to keep the claims process short by keeping claims out of court. If your claim does need to go to court it is unlikely that you will need to attend court, as cases settle before the final hearing.
We can advise you about job security and dismissal concerns, as well as matters related to sick pay. Dismissal without a valid reason and without due procedures being followed is against the law, and can result in a claim for unfair dismissal being brought against the employer. Employers are also legally obliged to pay Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) to injured employees, and may pay more than the minimum depending on the terms of an individual’s employment contract. Contact us today for free no obligation advice.
Compensation will pay for private healthcare treatment. It will also cover:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Psychological therapy
  • Expenses (such as the cost of travel to hospital appointments)
  • Loss of income
  • Household adaptations

    • The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the severity of your injuries and the likelihood that you’ll make a full recovery. We’ll seek expert opinions on what care you’ll need to ensure that the compensation we claim will be sufficient.
