Personal Injury Claims for Slovak Clients

Slovak workers contribute enormously to the UK economy, particularly in sectors with high injury rates such as construction, warehousing, food processing and agriculture. If you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, whether at work, on the road, or in a public place, you may be entitled to compensation under English law, with awards for pain and suffering that are generally significantly higher than those available in Slovakia.

We handle workplace accidents, road traffic accidents, and accidents in public places for Slovak clients across England and Wales, all on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Case resolved by Jaro Bernat for Aldi warehouse worker

A warehouse worker from Derby suffered four years of distress after Aldi accused him of being fundamentally dishonest about a workplace accident that left him with back pain and tinnitus. Despite CCTV evidence and Aldi admitting liability, the case was only settled for £20,000 shortly before trial. Jaro Bernat, the Osbornes Law solicitor who represented him, said defendants are increasingly making unfounded allegations of dishonesty against claimants.

Jaro Bernat said: 

“I always believed my client was telling the truth, but Aldi subjected him to a horrific ordeal, persistently questioning his integrity to the point where he potentially faced claims of fundamental dishonesty in court. It must be incredibly difficult for the claimant to deal with this; you bring a genuine claim, but instead of waiting to receive damages, you have to fight to avoid up to two years in jail.

This is an outrageous behaviour from a corporate giant, but unfortunately spurious allegations of fundamental dishonesty are becoming a well-used tactic by defendant lawyers. I am pleased that Aldi finally saw sense and settled this claim allowing Tibor to move on with his life, but it should never have gone this far.”

Medical Negligence Claims for Slovak Clients

Navigating the NHS as an immigrant can be challenging. Language barriers and unfamiliarity with GP referral processes can result in important symptoms being overlooked. When this leads to a delayed diagnosis, a surgical error, or a missed condition, you may have grounds for a medical negligence claim. We help Slovak clients assess whether what happened meets the legal standard for a claim and pursue the compensation they deserve.

No Win, No Fee, What It Means for You

The majority of personal injury and medical negligence claims at Osbornes are run under a Conditional Fee Agreement, known as No Win, No Fee. This funding arrangement means:

• No upfront payment. You do not pay anything to start your claim.
• No fee if you lose. If the claim is unsuccessful, you do not pay our legal fees.
• A success fee from your compensation. If you win, a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation covers our fees.
• After the Event insurance. In many cases, an insurance policy covers the other side’s costs if the claim does not succeed.

Our Slovak solicitors explain the terms in detail before you commit to anything.
