Why You Should Always Contact A Lawyer After a Workplace Injury

These injuries include occupational sickness, broken bones, psychological injuries, and worsening of pre-existing illnesses. 

As a result of these injuries, you are required to adjust your lifestyle, which can be quite overwhelming. Furthermore, you have to deal with the enormous medical expenses that threaten to throw your life into disarray. If you find yourself in such a situation, here are five reasons to hire a personal injury lawyer to help you get suitable compensation for the injuries sustained at the workplace. 

1. Lawyers Protect Your Rights

A personal injury lawyer will be your advocate as you negotiate with insurance companies and your employer. During these negotiations, employers will be trying to rid themselves of any liability, whereas the insurance company tries to pay as little compensation possible to protect their profit margins. Fortunately, an experienced injury lawyer will make sure to best represent your interest and get the best deal possible. 

Furthermore, their knowledge of the current laws on employee compensation helps them make sure your rights are not violated. 

2. Lawyers are Knowledgeable and Experienced

Injury attorneys have specialised in injury cases and boast immense experience handling cases that are identical to yours. They are knowledgeable about the law, and have the most useful information, and ways of building a strong case. They also know what the procedures to follow, paperwork filing procedures, as well as legal matters such as the statute of limitations. Therefore, with their help, you can ensure you are not denied your entitled compensation due to any technicality or paperwork mistakes. 

Injury attorneys have specialised in injury cases and boast immense experience handling cases that are identical to yours.

3. Lawyers Negotiate Better Settlement Offers

Plaintiffs who hire injury attorneys to represent them get higher injury compensation compared to those who opted to represent themselves. Therefore, it would be best if you hired an injury lawyer to negotiate a suitable compensation offer on your behalf. This is especially important because the employers usually present an offer lower than what they would pay if they made ongoing payments. 

However, this is not the case if a personal injury lawyer represents you. This is because they weigh your case and establish your medical bills plus the associated wage losses. In addition to this, they also help establish the right payment for less quantifiable things such as general damages, pain and suffering, stress, physical discomfort, and the injury’s impact on your life. They then use this total cost when at the negotiation table to determine the best compensation for all your troubles. 

Employers are notorious for not offering worthy compensation for an injury sustained at the workplace. This is something you need not worry about if you hire a skilled attorney.

4. Peace of Mind

Getting an injury can be very traumatic since you have to deal not only with the physical pain but also mental and emotional distress. It may be due to the mounting medical expenses and loss of wage as your employer deems you unproductive. This might be worse, especially if you suffered a permanent disability. 

In such cases, you are eligible for a single lump-sum payment or weekly payments as compensation for lost wages. Nevertheless, this is not always the case since insurance firms deem this to be very costly. They thus do anything possible to make sure you do not get a fair compensation offer.

In such scenarios, you should hire an injury lawyer who will act on your behalf during these negotiation settlements. Therefore, you get to focus on the most important thing, which is getting better and try living a normal life. 

5. Your Boss Hits Back for Demanding Employee Compensation

If you sustain an injury in the workplace, this is not your fault but that of your employer for not ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for the workers. However, some employees do not take it kindly when you decide to file for workers’ compensation claims. They instead  retaliate by demoting you, lowering your salary, reducing your hours, or firing you altogether. 

This unlawful and unfair treatment should never be allowed in the workplace, and if you find yourself in this position, then hiring a lawyer is the way forward. The attorney will use his expertise and experience practicing law in making sure you get fair and just compensation. This will not only be for the injury but also for the harassment suffered for filing for the workers’ compensation claim. 

Conclusion

Getting an injury is unfortunate, and gets worse, especially if it happens while in your workplace. If this happens to you, then it is the best to hire an attorney if the employer’s actions or hired insurance company prove to be unjust and uncooperative. The lawyer will make sure your complaint is not taken for granted, and you get paid a fair amount for all the pain and suffering endured.

Fighting Off Fraud in Times of Virus

Aziz Rahman of corporate crime solicitors Rahman Ravelli details the fraud risks posed to business by coronavirus and the ways such risks can be minimised.

At the time of writing, everyone is observing restrictions on their movements and many millions are either working from home or have stopped work altogether in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.

As a response to such a seismic blow to the economy, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced huge packages of financial assistance last month in the shape of grants for the self-employed and payment of the wages of employed workers. Yet in announcing his help for the self-employed, the Chancellor acknowledged that such a scheme may be attractive to those looking to perpetrate fraud.

His statement was a recognition that whatever the health of an economy – or the financial standing of an individual or a company within it – there will always be those looking to make fraudulent gains. The situation that has been created by coronavirus will have produced new opportunities for those who commit fraud. And fraud is like a virus: it will spread and cause the maximum amount of harm unless the right precautions are taken. To paraphrase the criminologist Dr Donald Cressey, perceived financial need, opportunity and rationalisation all help promote fraud. With the current economic uncertainty, the chance for state financial hand-outs and the possibility that many may feel they should be getting something, all of Cressey’s conditions appear to be present.

The situation that has been created by coronavirus will have produced new opportunities for those who commit fraud.

That is the case when it comes to both the Chancellor’s attempts to help employees and the business world in general: new developments produce new fraud possibilities.

This is arguably why the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has gone to great lengths to warn that the present situation may be exploited by those looking to defraud, using anything from investment fraud and advance fee fraud through to clone firms. The FCA is urging those in business to use its Financial Services Register and its Warning List to check on the authenticity of any financial proposition made. Similarly, the National Crime Agency (NCA) is highlighting risks posed by the likes of bogus online medical equipment suppliers, fake HM Revenue and Customs, bank and loan company officials and computer hackers passing themselves off as software engineers. Companies could even find themselves being impersonated by those looking to make illegal gains.

It is now, therefore, arguably more important than ever to be alert to the risks. This means both having well thought-out and properly executed measures in place to prevent and / or identify fraud and responding promptly and appropriately if fraud is suspected.

A prompt, thorough internal investigation will always be the best way to establish if there has been fraud committed, why it happened and how to prevent repeat occurrences. This may, at first glance, appear difficult given current working restrictions. But it can be done with some “out of the box’’ thinking. Interviews, for example, could be conducted via telephone or video link; although consideration must be given to legal issues such as confidentiality and privilege in the jurisdictions where they are carried out. Document collection can be done remotely or by using an appropriate third party, providing all relevant data protection requirements are met. Once such an investigation has been completed, decisions then need to be made regarding whether its findings are shared internally and / or disclosed to the relevant regulatory agency.

It should at this point be emphasised that despite the unusual circumstances the law and the agencies that enforce it are still functioning; even if changes are being made. To give one significant example, while Business Secretary Alok Sharma has announced a temporary suspension of the wrongful trading provisions, the law in relation to fraudulent trading – and the potential for director disqualification – remains in place. It is a development that shows that while businesses’ current problems are being acknowledged by the government, companies cannot expect to be immune from either the dangers of fraud or the consequences of becoming involved in it.

Recent weeks have seen significant upheaval in the business world – and a clear possibility for those looking to commit fraud. But companies must ensure they do what they can to minimise the potential turmoil.

Coronavirus: A Potential Claims Epidemic?

History tells us that it will only be a matter of time before claims management companies and solicitors alike, jump on the Coronavirus bandwagon and start advertising for claims. Indeed, there are already a few firms of solicitors suggesting that people can be compensated if they become infected while abroad. But while it may be possible to successfully claim against a tour operator or hotelier for Coronavirus, we anticipate that it’s going to be incredibly tough. The reason being, even if the claimant is able to prove that they contracted the virus, they must also show that the travel company did something wrong and that this negligence caused or contributed to the illness or loss.

The burden of proof is on the claimant, not on the travel company to disprove it. So, one must ask whether the hotel knew, or should they have known, that guests had contracted the virus but did nothing to stop the spread to other guests. The same goes for cruise liners and airlines – did the ship stop in an infected port and fail to screen guests or did the airline fail to properly clean its aircraft when flying to regions that are known to be affected?

While the industry should be braced for the inevitable influx of claims, determining whether a claim is genuine or fraudulent will be key.

Proving that a travel company has been negligent is no easy task and even if the claimant gets over this second, significant hurdle, they must still then prove that this negligent act caused their illness. Did stopping at the infected port, or failing to have adequate hygiene systems in place make any difference?  And the answers to all these questions, or rather the way they are tackled by the Courts, also differ depending on who you are bringing a claim against. For example, the rules for bringing an illness claim against a cruise liner differ to those used in a claim against a tour operator or hotel.

While the industry should be braced for the inevitable influx of claims, determining whether a claim is genuine or fraudulent will be key. Over the past few years, the travel industry has seen a 500% increase in gastric claims, but many claimants have since paid the price for making speculative claims under the premise that they had nothing to lose.

These prosecutions should serve as a stark warning to those that believe that bringing a dishonest claim is a minor offence, or is risk-free, as fraud will not be tolerated by the travel industry.

France Well-Placed in the Field of Negotiated Justice

In 2016, France enacted a new anti-corruption law which brought about a revolution in the French approach to corporate wrongdoing. Colloquially known as “Sapin II”, Law No 2016-1691 of 9 December 2016 introduced deferred prosecution agreements, together with measures to assist cross-border enforcement and to encourage self-reporting. This joint analysis by Nicolas Brooke and Camille Gravis, respective Partner and associate at Signature Litigation, examines the changes that the law has brought to negotiated justice in France.

The effectiveness of US deferred prosecution agreements inspired Sapin II’s introduction of the French equivalent, known as convention judiciaire d’intérêt public (or “CJIPs”). These agreements mean that – in appropriate cases – instead of facing trial, a company may agree to cooperate with the authorities and to resolve matters by paying a fine and adopting remedial measures.

France signed the OECD anti-corruption convention in 1997. However, by the time Sapin II was introduced in 2016, only two French companies had been convicted in France of bribing public officials. By contrast, between 2008 and 2017, the US Department of Justice had imposed fines totalling US$13.6 billion on companies, including $6.7 billion on European companies, $1.6 billion of these fines involving major French companies. In France, this state of affairs was seen both as an embarrassment and as a threat to sovereignty. The US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was viewed as being deployed extraterritorially to wage economic warfare on foreign corporations.

Instead of facing trial, a company may agree to cooperate with the authorities and to resolve matters by paying a fine and adopting remedial measures.

France therefore decided to introduce a number of reforms. First of all, in order to bolster the repression of bribery and corruption, Sapin II created a new duty for medium to large companies to implement a mandatory anti-corruption program consisting of (1) a code of conduct; (2) whistleblowing procedures; (3) risk-mapping; (4) third party due diligence; (5) accounting controls; (6) anti-corruption training programs; and (7) an internal assessment system.

Sapin II created the Agence Française Anticorruption (“AFA”), a new government agency in charge of conducting audits, by requesting information and documents and interviewing employees onsite, and eventually referring cases to a sanctions commission that can impose financial penalties for breach of the anti-corruption program. The AFA also monitors compliance and provides support and advice, including by publishing relevant guidelines.

In respect to international bribery cases, Sapin II significantly broadened the jurisdictional hooks French prosecutors can rely on to bring wrongdoers to justice. Before Sapin II, the French authorities could only prosecute offences committed abroad where the victim or wrongdoer was a French citizen or a French registered company, under restrictive procedural conditions. Sapin II now allows the prosecution, for the offense of corruption of a foreign public official, of persons or entities who regularly reside in France or conducts economic activity on French territory. The French courts now also have jurisdiction over a person who is guilty on French territory, as an accomplice, of acts of international public corruption committed abroad (French Criminal Code, Articles 435-6-2 and 435-11-2).

The French courts now also have jurisdiction over a person who is guilty on French territory, as an accomplice, of acts of international public corruption committed abroad (French Criminal Code, Articles 435-6-2 and 435-11-2).

The implementation of CJIPs in France is another significant innovation developed by Sapin II. Upon the conclusion of a CJIP, the prosecution is suspended for up to three years. In exchange, the company pays a fine, limited to 30% of the company’s average annual revenue during the previous three years and can be required to by supervised for up to three years while implementing remedial measures (French Criminal Procedure Code, Article 41-1-2). Unlike the US or the UK, the monitorship is necessarily conducted by the AFA, as opposed to a qualified individual or firm suggested to the authorities by the company. The company is not required to plead guilty, thus the CJIP does not amount to a guilty verdict and won’t lead to a disbarment of the company from public procurement for example.

Three years after Sapin II, eight CJIPs have been concluded with five relating to corruption cases and three to tax fraud. The Société Générale matter involved the first coordinated resolution where US and French authorities shared a fine of some USD 500 million. This was the first time a CJIP formed part of a global resolution with multiple authorities. Another case seems to have come close to a similar coordinated resolution. On 25 June 2019, Technip-FMP concluded a deferred prosecution agreement with the US Department of Justice and the Brazilian authorities. Interestingly, the French Parquet National Financier also took part in the investigation, but Technip-FMP failed to reach an agreement with it. It appears that the investigation is continuing in France (U.S. v. TechnipFMC, June 25, 2019, Docket No. 19-CR-00278-KAM). France appears to have been more active in this area than the UK which introduced DPAs in 2013, but has concluded less (six) DPAs.

Recent guidelines have been issued by the AFA and the French national Prosecutor (“PNF”) to give clarity on the implementation of CJIPs that are broadly inspired by US practice, but contain a number of controversial propositions, in relation to investigatory work-product covert by lawyer-client confidentiality. The guidelines state that the corporation will have to determine what work-product will be turned over to the prosecutors to assist with their investigation, and that “whereas the duty of lawyer-client confidentiality is binding on counsel in their relationship with their client, the client itself is not bound by such a duty”. This may be taken as implicitly suggesting that companies are encouraged or even expected to turn over privileged materials from their judicial investigation. A clarification on this subject would be helpful. On the other hand, the guidelines do note that a corporation’s refusal to turn over documents privileged as a matter of foreign law, but not under French law, will not necessarily be construed as a lack of cooperation. This is encouraging, given that significant amounts of materials can be created during the course of a cross-border internal investigation and that a waiver of the privilege could lead to devastating results for the corporation, in particular if it is facing civil law suits in parallel to a criminal or regulatory investigation.

Despite these guidelines, there is still significant uncertainty surrounding key issues as regards CJIPs. More clarity should emerge as the practise of CJIPs continues to develop in France. It remains to be seen whether deferred prosecution agreements will become commonly used against corporate wrongdoers in France. This may depend on the extent to which the US authorities target French companies, and the enthusiasm of French authorities to encourage their use.
