What Is an Office Injury Claim?

An office injury claim is a personal injury claim made when an employee is injured while working in an office setting.

Although offices may seem low-risk, workplace injuries can and do occur because of issues such as:

  • Poor ergonomics or unsuitable workstation setup
  • Slips, trips and falls on wet floors or cluttered walkways
  • Faulty office equipment
  • Manual handling tasks
  • Overuse injuries from repetitive tasks
  • Inadequate training or supervision

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

  • Slips, trips and fall injuries
  • Shoulder or arm pain
  • Eye strain or headaches

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.
