In 2009/10 there were 23 fatal injuries to workers in Scotland, 2,548 reported major injuries to employees and 7992 over 3 day injuries to employees.

The health and safety statistics for 2010 show that although construction accounts for 4% of the employees in Britain, 7% of reported injuries happen to employees in the construction sector.

If your claim is successful the insurers will pay a sum of money in settlement.  For example for a whiplash injury they might pay £2500.

You will then receive that sum in your hand and there will be no deductions for legal costs.
