Ben’s story

Injuries affect everything you do. Your work, your hobbies and how you choose to spend your free time. This is what happened to Ben after he suffered an injury at work. This is his story.

What Happened?

Ben’s life changed dramatically after he was injured in a workplace accident. What began as just another ordinary day on the job quickly turned into a painful and life-disrupting experience. The nature of Ben’s work required physical movement and strength, but following the accident, he was left in so much pain he couldn’t even get out of bed.

The injury was severe enough that he was forced to take two weeks off work, during which time he couldn’t perform basic tasks without help. “I was in agony,” Ben recalled. “My dad had to come round every morning to help me sit up because I physically didn’t have the strength to push myself out of bed.”

The injury didn’t just affect his job—it took away his independence, his routine, and his peace of mind.

How Did UK Law Help?

Employers in the UK are legally required under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to protect employees from harm. That includes conducting regular risk assessments, providing training, and maintaining a safe working environment. If they fail in this duty and someone is injured as a result, the injured person has the right to pursue compensation for their injuries and losses.

Ben’s accident was a clear case of employer negligence. He had not been given proper safety equipment or support for the task he was performing. With the help of a solicitor provided by UK Law, Ben was able to bring a successful accident at work claim and hold his employer accountable.

What Their Experience of the Claims Process Was

After reaching out to UK Law, Ben was paired with a specialist workplace injury solicitor who listened to his story and guided him through the claims process with care and professionalism. Everything was explained clearly, and Ben was kept informed at each stage—from the gathering of medical evidence to the negotiation with his employer’s insurers.

His solicitor took care of all the legal details, allowing Ben to focus on his recovery. Most importantly, Ben said he felt heard and supported throughout the process.

The Benefits of Using No Win No Fee

One of Ben’s biggest concerns was money—he didn’t know how he was going to afford bills after missing work, let alone legal fees. But thanks to a no win, no fee service, he was able to pursue justice without the risk of financial strain.

There were no upfront costs, and he only paid a success fee from his compensation once the case was settled. This allowed him to access high-quality legal advice without worry. The compensation Ben received not only helped him recover lost income—it validated the pain and hardship he experienced, including the loss of what mattered most to him: his ability to go bodyboarding.

“My injury still affects me to this day,” Ben said. “It’s not just the pain—it’s everything I’ve missed out on. But making a claim helped me take back some control.”
