Accident at work with former employer

InsideInsurance

I have never read up on it too much, only had one client that used to sell it and they had exited the market after getting exceptionally burnt by the experience.

From memory it is arranged via the solicitor but paid by the client if it is required and a quick look on another website shows the relationship with both parties

We work with Solicitors acting on behalf of their clients to obtain After the Event (ATE) Insurance cover. We ask Solicitors to complete just the one Proposal Form and we help ensure that all the salient information has been provided to support the application before submitting it to various appropriate Insurers.

We can discuss the options available to the client and the Solicitor and offer guidance on Policy Wordings and any special conditions.

I will try and answer all the statements if i can
The biggest issue was he did not receive any safety training he was just thrown in at the deep end, he wasnt provided with any safety footwear and this did not appear to be an issue with them. He was told how to lift the pallets correctly they had to be manually stacked.
This claim started about a year ago and the solicitor dealing with it wasnt really punctual if i am honest, cut a long story short another solicitor took over and informed him that if she had been dealing with the case she would have stated straight away that it was only a small claim and we would have had to do it ourselves. They did pay the initial £70 fee for the incovenience!
He did go to casualty straight away after telling a supervisor the hospital said it severley bruised and they strapped him up and gave him crutches.
My husband took him into his workplace the following evening to explain to them what had happened and ask for the accident book to log it to be told "the accident book is in the office and it is locked" I believe that an accident book should be accesible at all times.
The supervisor stated that he didnt believe him which understandbly upset him somewhat and he said i am not going back there because they have made me look an idiot and they dont care about health and safety.
I think i have covered everything
thankyou for all your replies

sorry last line of paragraph 1 should be he was NOT told how to lift the pallets correctly.
