Medical, employment and insurer liaison for claims
A strong claim depends on timely medical evidence and clear records of how the injury affects your working life. We handle the three critical strands that matter most:
- Medical liaison — arranging or reviewing specialist medical reports that explain diagnosis, treatment and long-term prognosis.
- Employment liaison — gathering payslips, shift patterns, and employer communications to evidence lost earnings and contractual impacts.
- Insurer negotiation — dealing directly with insurers to avoid delay, secure interim payments, and push for a fair settlement.
We also help with practical immediate needs: applications for interim payments to cover urgent medical costs, letters to your employer to ensure the incident is recorded correctly, and guidance on returning to work or seeking adjusted duties. Our injury solicitor Atherton specialists coordinate these threads so you don’t have to.
Heavy goods and lifting injury claims
Many injuries in Atherton involve heavy goods, manual handling and lifting tasks. Back injuries, hernias, shoulder damage and crushed limbs are common after incorrect lifting, insufficient team support, or lack of mechanical aids. Typical scenarios include:
- Incorrect loading or unloading of HGVs at local depots.
- Repetitive manual handling on production lines.
- Injuries from poorly maintained lifting equipment or broken pallet trucks.
When heavy goods or lifting are part of the story, we work with occupational therapists and ergonomics experts to show how the injury occurred and how it affects your capacity to work. We quantify past and future loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and any vocational retraining you may need. Faircloughs operates on a No Win No Fee basis for most valid claims, so pursuing compensation is possible without upfront legal fees.
Slips in wet or poorly maintained work areas
Slips, trips and falls are often dismissed as minor, but they can have lasting consequences — fractured wrists, soft tissue damage, head injuries and ongoing mobility problems. In workplaces around Atherton, slips frequently stem from:
- Poor housekeeping in retail aisles or back-of-house storage.
- Spills on warehouse floors with delayed cleaning procedures.
- Inadequate signage for wet surfaces or recent maintenance work.
- Faulty flooring or uneven loading bay surfaces.
We gather witness statements, CCTV if available, and cleaning/maintenance records to build a clear picture of liability. Even where fault is disputed, we pursue the evidence that matters and push insurers to respond fairly. Our approach is practical: secure early medical treatment, document the incident correctly, and then let us handle the legal case.
