Were You Injured At Work?
If you’ve been injured at work — whether in a warehouse, a care home, a building site, or behind a desk — and you’re struggling to get straight answers, you’re not alone. We speak to people every day who’ve been made to feel like their pain is an inconvenience. But here’s the truth: You have rights. And you deserve to understand them.
- No win, no fee
- Speak to real people, not call centres
- 10,000+ UK workers supported
We’ll help you figure out if your employer could have — and should have — prevented what happened. With plain-English advice. No pressure. No upfront cost.
Find Out If You Have a Work Injury Claim
What happens after you get in touch?
We’ve helped thousands of people who felt unsure, overwhelmed, or worried they’d waited too long. Here’s how it works:
Step 1
Speak to one of our UK-based claims experts. They’ll listen to your story, explain what your rights are, and help you understand if a claim is possible.
Step 2
If you're eligible and ready to move forward, we’ll connect you with a specialist solicitor who can take your case on a No Win No Fee basis.
Step 3
If your claim succeeds, you receive compensation — often covering lost income, medical costs, and the long-term impact on your life.
You stay in control the whole way.
It was just another day at work — until it wasn’t.
It was just another day at work — until it wasn’t.
You didn’t wake up expecting to get hurt.
You showed up. You did your job.
And something went wrong.
Maybe you slipped in a puddle that should’ve been cleaned up. Maybe you lifted something too heavy, with no help and no warning. Maybe the right equipment wasn’t there — or the training never came. Or maybe it’s a pain that built over time — one no one took seriously until now.
We hear stories like yours every day — from warehouse workers, carers, tradespeople, nurses, delivery drivers, and office staff. People who tried to brush it off. People who were made to feel like speaking up was complaining.
But if your employer didn’t keep you safe, and that’s why you’re injured, you deserve better.
Better answers. Better support. A real shot at recovery — not just physically, but financially too.
That’s why we’re here.

Real Cases. Real Results.
Back Injury from Unsafe Lifting
Michael was working in a warehouse when he injured his back lifting 100kg glass panels — no training, no equipment, no help. He was told to take time off and given basic sick pay. Unsure what to do next, he reached out to us. We connected him with someone who could take his case, and they quickly arranged money to help cover his bills while the claim was being sorted. In the end, he got the compensation he deserved — and his employer improved their safety rules so others wouldn’t get hurt the same way.
Construction Site Injury That Changed a Young Man’s Future
Lewis was 21 when a serious injury on-site ended his plans to join the Royal Marines. His family didn’t know what to do, so they contacted us. We listened to what happened and put them in touch with someone who could help. The company admitted fault, and Lewis received payments while recovering. The case is still ongoing, but Lewis and his family have felt supported the whole way through — and they know they’re not facing it alone.
From Ian & Justin
From Ian & Justin
If you’ve been injured at work, you’re probably not just dealing with the pain. You’re dealing with silence. Doubt. Guilt. Pressure to ‘just get on with it.’
We started Direct2Compensation because we saw too many people facing that alone. Good people. Hard workers. People who didn’t know if they were ‘allowed’ to ask for help.
We’re not here to convince you to claim. We’re here to help you understand your rights, give you honest answers, and connect you with people who know how to help — so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
That’s what we’d want for our own families. And that’s what we want for you

Whatever the injury, we’re here to help
Here are some of the most common work-related injuries we help people claim for — along with what they usually mean for day-to-day life:
Back injuries
Often caused by lifting or awkward movements. Can lead to time off work and long-term discomfort.
Neck injuries
Common in slips or falls. Can affect sleep, mobility, and confidence.
Head injuries
Even minor ones can cause lasting fatigue, memory issues or mood changes.
Fractures
From broken fingers to legs. You may need time off or support while healing.
Burns
From chemicals, hot surfaces or equipment. Can be painful and may leave scarring.
Soft tissue injuries
Sprains, strains, bruising. Often downplayed but can linger.
Slipped discs
Usually from lifting or twisting. Can cause serious mobility issues.
Amputations
Life-changing injuries that often need long-term care and rehab.
Electric shocks
Can be serious, especially when safety systems fail.
Stress or anxiety
Caused by unsafe conditions, traumatic events, or lack of support
Repetitive strain injuries
Small actions over time can lead to big problems.
Bursitis
Joint pain often related to repetitive motion or pressure.
Vibration white finger
Caused by power tools. Numbness, tingling, and loss of hand strength.
Dermatitis or eczema
Skin reactions from exposure to chemicals or irritants.
Industrial diseases
Illnesses caused by long-term exposure to hazardous materials.
Pneumoconiosis
A lung condition often related to dust exposure.
Mesothelioma
A serious illness caused by asbestos exposure, often years later.
Acoustic shock
Sudden hearing issues caused by loud or unexpected noise.
Got questions? We’ve got answers.
Will I have to go to court?
It’s unlikely. Most claims are handled over the phone and through paperwork. If anything formal is needed, your solicitor will handle the process and guide you every step of the way.
What if my employer denies it was their fault?
That’s common — and it doesn’t mean you can’t claim. Your solicitor will help gather evidence and speak on your behalf.
Could I lose my job for claiming?
Legally, your employer can’t fire you for making a legitimate claim. And if they do, that could lead to further legal action in your favour.
What does 'No Win No Fee' really mean?
It means you won’t have to pay anything upfront. If your claim isn’t successful, you won’t owe a penny. If it is, your solicitor takes a pre-agreed percentage.
How long do I have to make a claim?
You usually have up to 3 years from the date of the injury, but the sooner you speak with us, the better.
What kind of compensation could I receive?
That depends on how your injury has impacted your life — your health, income, and future. We’ll help you understand what’s possible.
