Accidents can cost you a lot more than you first think

Unite the Union's legal scheme provides you with protection from the risk of legal fees for any accident you may have - at work or outside of the work-place. Our lawyers will ensure your claim is properly valued. The legal service is FREE and you will keep 100% of your compensation.

We work with a panel of specialist personal injury law firms to provide free legal assistance to any union member who wants to bring a personal injury claim against an employer or third party.

This assistance covers:

accidents at work

occupational diseases

occupational deafness

road traffic or street accidents

You and your immediate family are covered for any accidents you may have on the road or pavement, either as a driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian.

The union's solicitors recover more than £45 million in compensation each year. Claims are conducted free of charge and at no financial risk to you, subject to the conditions of the union's Legal Aid. If your claim succeeds, you will receive the full amount of damages without any deductions.
