What Is an Agency Worker Claim?
An agency worker claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you’ve been injured at work while employed through an agency. Agency workers are entitled to the same health and safety protections as permanent staff. Employers, contractors, and agencies all share responsibility for ensuring a safe working environment.
If you’ve suffered an accident at work in the last three years that wasn’t your fault, LITKRAFT can help you bring a claim and secure the financial support you need.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to make an agency worker claim if you were injured because of:
• Unsafe working conditions or faulty equipment
• Lack of proper training or supervision
• Slips, trips, falls or manual handling accidents
• Exposure to dangerous machinery or hazardous substances
• Failure to provide adequate personal protective equipment (PPE)
Both short-term and long-term agency workers can claim, regardless of the type of contract. Responsibility for your safety may rest with the agency, the company you were placed with, or both.

Common Causes of Agency Worker Accidents
Agency workers are often placed in unfamiliar roles or high-risk environments, which increases the chances of injury. The most frequent causes include:
• Slips, trips, and falls on unsafe floors or walkways
• Accidents involving machinery or equipment
• Injuries caused by lifting or moving heavy objects without training
• Falling objects in warehouses, factories, or construction sites
• Lack of induction, supervision, or clear safety procedures
• Exposure to hazardous substances without proper protection
• Pressure to work excessive hours, leading to fatigue-related accidents
What You Can Claim For
• Physical injuries and emotional trauma
• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy costs
• Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
• Ongoing care needs or home adaptations
• Travel expenses and other out-of-pocket costs
• Damage to personal belongings
How Much Compensation Could You Get?
Every agency worker claim is unique. The amount of compensation depends on:
• The medical evidence of your injury and recovery time
• Any loss of earnings and the effect on your future income
• The impact on your daily life, independence, and wellbeing
• The cost of rehabilitation and long-term care
• Additional expenses caused by the accident
Your solicitor will assess your case using medical reports, financial records, and the official Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to ensure your settlement reflects the true impact of your accident.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
