We have a team of expert personal injury lawyers with years of experience of successfully recovering compensation for GMB members and their families who have been the victims of accidents.

If you, as a GMB member, or a member of your family, have been injured in any of the types of accidents listed below, please click on the link to receive further information:

• An accident at work or on the way to and from work
• A slip, trip or fall
• An accident as the driver or passenger in a vehicle or as a pedestrian

Unfortunately, all too often GMB members are injured in accidents at work as a result of the fault or neglect of their employers.

The GMB members’ legal assistance scheme makes claiming compensation a worry-free and straightforward process.

From the moment the member applies for legal assistance to the Union, the claim is placed into the hands of dedicated experts who are committed to lead the member through the legal minefield with the aim of securing the maximum compensation with the minimum of fuss.

When a GMB member, or a member of their family, suffers a slip, trip or fall, it can be a confusing experience in knowing who is responsible and establishing an entitlement to compensation.

The GMB legal assistance scheme makes the whole process much easier and the member and their family are assured of support and guidance throughout the process.

At Simpsons, the team of experts are well equipped to deal with these claims and will do all that they can to bring matters to a successful conclusion as quickly as possible.

When involved in a road traffic accident either as a driver, a passenger or a pedestrian, members of the GMB and their families are entitled to full legal representation by Simpsons Solicitors.

At a time when the victims of road accidents, whether drivers or passengers, can sometimes be subjected to harassing phone calls and contacts from ‘ambulance chasing’ claims agencies or insurance claims handlers looking to settle for the minimum amount possible, it is reassuring to know that GMB members can rely upon the support of the GMB legal services scheme which ensures that the claim is dealt with from start to finish by a team of experienced lawyers and who are determined to secure the best possible result in every claim.

GMB members are also entitled to legal assistance in relation to any other accident where they may suffer injury and need legal advice.
