How can I get Justice in a Per/Injury claim4emp/neglig time barred 3mth ext dumped by corrupt union rep&Lawyer

Question

I am time barred but have 3mth ext for personal injury claim against X employers. I was dumped by corrupt union officials and union solicitor 2wks before time bar and 1wk after they told me I had a good case for negligence after I was beaten up at work as a security guard for a local authority (18yrs). What I reported to management that day led to a cover up of bad practice and our lives being ruined forever as far as I can see, as it was preferred to cast me as an unreliable witness the Patsy for the chop. I can't believe they would do such a thing, but they have and this has added to my sickness which I have received Industrial Injuries benefit for since the incident on 2 Nov 03 and Incapacity. I was not sacked for nearly 2 years and did not recieve pay for over 12months. I have no money now and cqnnot afford a clerk yet alone a solicitor. Please can anyone help I am desperate as I will be left with nothing and I did nothing wrong

Answer 1

There are lots of law firms out there who would offer a conditional fee agreement if your case is as strong as you say, which would mean you wouldn't have to pay anything in costs. Legal Aid is not available for personal injury claims.

Answer 2

Please go to your local Citizen's Advice Bureau and tell them precisely what you have told us here. They will be able to point you in the right direction. Most solicitors offer an initial FREE consultation. In your case as you are in receipt of benefits you should be entitled to Legal Aid. As for the corrupt solicitors, they should be reported to the The Law Society. The union officials should be reported to The TUC (? is it still called that?). You say it took them two years to sack you in which time you received no pay for over one year. This is a disgrace. You should have at least been entitled to Statutory Sick Pay whilst they decided what to do about you. Please seek urgent legal advice from your local CAB. Good luck

Answer 3

P&S is the worst mind wash entity. that is worse then television to deprave youthful minds. In my case i'm thoroughly incorruptible. To a lot of an egotist to have something corrupt me.
