who are the best company for my claim

OneLeg

I'm not sure where is the best section of this website to post this so hopefully someone can help re-direct me.

I recently joined a scaffolding firm, which sent me to a building site where i happened to cut my leg open just under my knee on a piece of re-bar on a uncovered service hole. However when i joined this new firm lets call it PeterScaf, i informed them that i have the incorrect form of cscs and have booked to take my test for the friday. They then sent me to this building site run by lets call the company Petersons, didnt induct me to the site so therefore failed to take into consideration i had no cscs card. where do i stand and what is the best company to go to?

any reply's will be great full,
OneLeg

What happend, sorry its abit confusing it was a reply in the original post.


1. There was the first set of paramedics who arrived in the ambulance, then a second two who had all green heavy duty clothing and had white helmets who refured to them selves as special paramedics.

2. They suggested using the crane to kind of air lift me off of the 6th story of the building site, as it was impossible to walk the bed down and through the scaffolding and laders.

3. The cut is about 6 - 7 inches and was straight to the bone, it has severed the nerves around the wound and slight muscle damge, which if you are a medical professional then I hope you dont speak to your clients/patients in this manor and would also realise that it would be physically impossible to cope with the amount of pain during surgery.

Why I went on site without valid cscs

Because the health and saftey I had only covered me for household electrical insulations, however if the site had given me an induction then this would have been made clear that I didnt have a valid cscs.

I was wondering where I stand and what rights I have to claim and who would be best to go with

Just saying that there are genuine reasons someone would be put under (or some other general anaesthetic) for something that they would usually only be given a local anaesthetic for and that it is not indicative on its own that they're lying/embellishing."

My response

Thank you, also due to the fact I was taken to theatre and put to sleep for several hours I belive that is know as undergoing general anaesthetic, unless your medical profession would diagnose that as anything else than cleaning a wound repairing damage and putting 14 stitches in the space of the time it took me to baicly blink slowly, then helpful comments only please.

Yes I required 350 (over 3x the normal dose) to be put to sleep.

Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Due to how no win no fee arrangements work now - whereby the solicitor will often want to seek upto 25% of your compensation amount, it is worth checking if you have any legal cover or if you are a union member.

Check your home insurance documents to see if you have legal protection, sometimes it also comes with bank accounts and credit cards.

The reason for this is that if one of those policies can be used to refer you to a solicitor on their panel, it will most likely avoid you having to pay any "success fee".

Where about in the country are you located? It may make sense if you do not have any legal cover to seek out the advice of a local law firm that specialises in personal injury work. They will often be happy to give an initial interview/ advice without charge and they can give you a much better idea of what your prospects of success are.

I don't think you have a leg to stand on...
