Working in construction presents unique risks, from high-altitude tasks to operating heavy machinery. If you have been injured on a construction site in Northern Ireland, knowing your rights is the first step toward recovery.

Using the same dedicated approach we apply to factory and warehouse accidents, MMW Claims provides expert legal assistance to help you secure the best possible outcome. It all starts with getting to know your story.

 Employers and site contractors owe a duty of care to their employees and subcontractors to take reasonable steps to ensure compliance with applicable health and safety regulations.

As specialists in personal injury claims, our highly experienced legal team has an excellent reputation for supporting clients in accident at work cases. Whether it's a clear-cut case where the employer is at fault, or a more complex issue in need of careful, professional investigation, you can rest assured that our team will do all we can to support and help you through a stressful time.

Whatever your specific injuries, whether you need to recover time spent off work or you're seeking compensation from a life-changing disability, our highly skilled team are equipped to handle the case. As one of Northern Ireland's most experienced law firms, we always go the extra mile for people like you.

Our team will guide you through the process with ease. As a general rule, in Northern Ireland, you can make a claim within 3 years of the accident or the date you became aware of an industrial disease, provided it can be proven that the injury occurred due to unsafe conditions. For conditions such as asbestosis, an individual can file a claim within 3 years of diagnosis.

We help clients through a straightforward process after an accident on-site:

1. Reporting your injury: After seeking medical help, ensure the accident is recorded in the site accident book, and formal notice is given to your employer.
2. Contacting A Solicitor: Get in touch with MMW Claims for FREE legal advice.
3. Building Your Case: We will obtain your medical records and site safety logs to prove liability.
4. Professional Assessment: You will attend an appointment with a specialist medical practitioner to produce a formal report.
5. Negotiating Your Compensation: We handle all negotiations with the insurers.
6. Receiving your payout: Once an agreement is reached, your payout is made as quickly as possible.

Compensation is calculated based on the "Green Book" (Judicial Studies Board Guidelines for Northern Ireland). Amounts vary depending on:

• The severity of the physical or psychological injury and impact on your quality of life.
• Loss of past and future earnings.
• Costs of ongoing care or home adjustments.
