How your First Free Consultation Works
Getting started does not take long. You can book your free case assessment online or by phone and tell us briefly what has happened. You do not need to prepare a long explanation or have every document to hand before you contact us. The assessment is a conversation, not an examination.
In the assessment, we listen to your account, look at the key documents you have, and explain the position in plain language. We tell you whether we can help, how we would approach your matter, and what it is likely to involve.
If you decide to go ahead, we agree the next steps with you, including what we will do and what we need from you. If you decide not to, you should still leave with a clearer understanding of where you stand. Either way, the decision is yours.

Do I Have a Workers' Compensation Claim in Aveley?
Answering a few questions honestly is a good first step. You do not need legal knowledge to do it, and your answers will show what your claim is worth and whether it should be pursued further. Take a few minutes with the list below and note anything you would like to raise with a lawyer later.
Ask yourself whether:
- you were doing sommething connected with your job when the injury occurred or worsened
- You needed medical attention, time off, or changes to your duties because of it
- Your employer or a supervisor is aware of what happened
- Your symptoms are continuing or getting worse
If you answered yes to any of these, it is worth getting advice. Even if you are unsure about every one, we can talk through what happened and tell you whether a claim looks possible.

Understanding Your Legal Costs
For eligible claims, you do not pay professional fees to us before the matter concludes.
Many workers’ compensation claims can be run under no win, no fee arrangements, subject to a short check of your circumstances. If the terms apply, you receive a written costs agreement and read it before deciding.
The agreement describes when fees fall due and how outlays, such as medical report fees, are handled. We are happy to go through it by phone or in person, and you are free to take time before signing. You are welcome to bring a friend or relative to the discussion.
No win, no fee workers compensation
MPK Lawyers offers no win, no fee arrangements for eligible workers compensation claims. Our fees are payable only when the matter resolves, and only in accordance with the costs agreement you approve before we act.
We explain the costs position in plain language before you sign. If report fees, medical evidence or other disbursements may be required, we tell you how those are handled before they are incurred. There are no surprises, so you can focus on your treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
When a worry about your claim is on your mind, you may find a helpful answer here, big or small.
Breaking a safety rule is not an automatic bar to a claim, as the scheme does not depend on fault. The circumstances can still matter, so describe exactly what happened and seek advice.
Give your best estimate of when symptoms began and say clearly that it is an estimate. Medical notes, rosters and work records can help fill gaps, so keep copies of anything that shows dates.
Yes. Tell us what was discussed and keep any letters or emails you have received. We can review the position and, if you wish, take over dealing with the insurer from that point.
Time limits can apply to making a claim and to challenging a decision, and they vary with the circumstances. Report the injury early and seek advice if you are unsure which dates apply.
Ask the practice whether another doctor can see you, so your certificate is not delayed. Tell your employer and the insurer if a delay is likely, and keep a note of the dates.
