    As a claimant Employment Law Solicitor, you will often be providing advice upon the merits of employee claims, you’ll perhaps be sitting-in on internal grievance processes, or sometimes representing clients during tribunal cases.

     

    But what do you do when your client has been signed-off from work by their GP due to a Stress-related illness?

    You may not already know, but this common occurrence establishes an additional & separate Psychiatric Injury, and these claims will generally settle for significant sums, often for over £100K.

     

    Avoid Professional Negligence claims

     

    However, when these claims are not pursued, it leaves Employment Law Solicitors open to professional negligence for undervaluing the case – which is disastrous for any law firm.

    This is where our dedicated Psychiatric Injury Team can help you out. The team of twelve is headed by director, Jessica Rowson, who has appeared on the BBC several times to discuss this niche area of law.

    By contacting Oakwood Solicitors to refer the separate stress claim, it would leave you to focus upon the initial employment issue, whilst being secure in the knowledge that your client is in the hands of experts.

     

    Why should I choose Oakwood Solicitors Ltd?

    Many employment lawyers reaching out to Oakwood merely wish to signpost their clients with confidence, whilst others have entered into a compliant introducers’ agreement.

    Whatever your preference, please contact Rob Crompton today on 0113 200 9722 or email your enquiry to r.crompton@oakwoodsolicitors.co.uk to discuss the next steps.
