Should you have an accident at work, or should you contract an industrial/occupational disease then as a UCATT member you will be entitled to our legal services free of charge under the Ucatt Legal Aid Scheme.

The first step is for you to obtain a Legal Aid Schedule form from your local branch secretary or other Union official. The completed Schedule will then be sent to ourselves by way of the Ucatt head office.

Immediately we receive the Schedule we will be in contact with you to investigate your claim. We will represent you under the Ucatt Scheme on a no-win, no-fee basis.You will also receive 100% of any compensation we are successful in recovering for you.

If you are unsure about how to pursue a claim under Ucatt’s Legal Aid Scheme, or if you would like to discuss a potential claim with us before submitting a claim through Ucatt, please contact our Gordon Bell or David McElroy on our freephone number 0800 652 7646 during normal office hours.

No-Win, No-Fee Compensation Claims for Members and Families

Ucatt’s Legal Aid Scheme does not extend to cover 1) members having an accident unconnected with their work or to 2) accidents involving families of members. Nonetheless Ucatt and ourselves are very keen to offer legal assistance in these areas.

Therefore:-

If either a) you are a Ucatt member who has been involved in an accident unconnected with your work (such as a road accident or a trip or slip in a public place) or b) you are a Ucatt member whose family member has had an accident (at work or otherwise)
then we can help you claim compensation from the party at fault for the accident.

We will do so on a no-win, no-fee basis, and you (or your family member as appropriate) will receive 100% of compensation secured by us for you. This is in contrast to many other legal firms who will insist on retaining 20% or even 30% of your settlement sum in payment of additional legal fees

To contact us to discuss your claim please choose which type of personal injury claim you wish to make from the list below and complete our online questionnaire. One of our experienced personal injury team will respond to you within 24 hours of your enquiry.

Please enter the phrase UCATT SCHEME after your name in then appropriate box.

• Accidents at Work
• Road Traffic Accidents
• Accidents in Public Places

We can also represent you and your family members with industrial disease/occupational disease compensation claims, again on a no-win, no-fee basis.

Please contact our Gordon Bell or Michael McNulty on freephone 0800 652 7646 to discuss your claim.
