What Is an Employer Negligence Claim?

An employer negligence claim is a personal injury claim made when an employee is harmed because their employer failed to provide a safe working environment.

These accidents often occur because an employer:

  • Did not follow health and safety regulations
  • Failed to provide proper training or equipment
  • Ignored unsafe working conditions
  • Neglected machinery maintenance or safety protocols
  • Did not provide adequate supervision or risk assessments

If the accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in Ireland who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In the vast majority of cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation and therefore it is usual for a specialised Personal Injury/Medical and Dental Negligence law firm to operate on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in Ireland undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
