Claims covered include:

• any work-related accident or disease at or away from work for members (including road traffic accidents to and from work and away from work, eg field trips) which was not your fault
• any non-work accident or disease in the UK for family members (including road traffic accidents) which was not their fault
• some accidents abroad for members and family members where they were not at fault
• any clinical negligence arising from medical treatment after a work-related accident or disease.

UCU's personal injury service is provided by union solicitors Thompsons and Russell Jones and Walker who deal with compensation claims under a collective conditional fee agreement.

Unlike many other high street claims firms, the UCU legal service guarantees that members get 100% of their compensation won and won't be charged a penny whether or not their claim is successful.

A low cost national call rate phone line gives quick access to the service without having to fill out any complicated forms:

• phone number/process details: 0333 2400 474
• or email: injuredatwork@ucu.org.uk

Please refer to the UCU legal scheme rules for further information, including time limits.
