Noone expects to go to work and suffer an injury however, if you’ve had an accident or developed an illness that was caused by the negligence of your employer, it is time to speak up! The UK has issued strict Health, Safety and Welfare regulations that workplaces need to follow. These rules deal with everything from slip and fall accidents to equipment failure. If you have a suspicion that your workplace wasn’t following these correctly, MRG Solicitors can assess your claim and progress your case.
Employees can file claims for accidents at work if they are harmed by their employers’ or a co-worker’s negligence. For example, if someone did not adhere to the safety rules in your office, they could be blamed for any accident caused thereafter. Book an appointment with our experienced personal injury lawyers with the assurance that your legal costs will get covered until you win the case. That means no financial risk or upfront charges until justice is served.

What is a consent order?A consent order is a legal document that confirms your mutual agreement. It includes details on how the children are to be looked after. Both parents have to sign the draft consent order and get it approved by a judge. It is usually approved without a hearing and saves costs for both parties. If spouses cannot agree, further hearings will need to be held. A CAFCASS officer may spent time with the children and parents for a detail assessment and additional information may also be required. The court will then make a final decision on the arrangements, which is then recorded as an official, legally binding order. The consent order covers: Living arrangements The amount of time spent with each parent When and what types of contact can occur (such as phone calls)
