Stress at work

Award winning catastrophic injury solicitor Richard Edwards has many years experience in representing professionals to bring stress claims. We can help to investigate your claim, obtain disclosure of documents and in bringing the claim to court. Richard will be with you every step of the way.

We will thoroughly investigate your claim and fight to ensure a successful outcome. We will also help you to maximise the compensation award. This will include compensation for any loss of earnings, pension loss and the costs of specialist therapy.

Richard has published articles and case studies based upon his work in this field. Examples of cases Richard has advised in include:

• Acting for a banking professional in claim due to overwork. Securing extensive disclosure and an admission of liability. The case concluded with a settlement for substantial six figure damages.
• Acting against a major global insurance company on behalf of a London based professional in a claim for stress caused by overwork. The Claimant suffered an extreme psychiatric reaction to work pressures. Other lawyers had declined to act. The insurers denied liability. Extensive disclosure was obtained and numerous witnesses interviewed. The claim settled for substantial six figure damages following a mediation.
• Acting for a Matron in the NHS who suffered a serious breakdown after unfair treatment and overwork. Her union lawyers refused to offer representation but Richard took the case on. The hospital trust agreed to a substantial six figure settlement, including pension and earnings losses.
