A workplace stress claim is a legal avenue available to employees who have suffered emotional or psychological harm such as chronic stress, anxiety, or depression as a direct result of their job or working environment.

While a certain level of pressure at work can be normal and sometimes even helpful for motivation, sustained or intense stress can seriously affect mental health. In more severe cases, it can lead to clinical conditions like generalised anxiety disorder or depression, which may significantly impact an individual’s quality of life.
If work-related stress is affecting your health, speak with your GP and employer as soon as possible. Early intervention can help prevent more serious issues.

Important Information
When we refer to a “No Win No Fee” service, this means customers typically pay our panel solicitors a success fee of 25% + VAT of any compensation amount recovered, although this will be subject to the law firm we recommend you to as well as your individual circumstances. The actual fee may be less than this, but it will never be more. Fees will always be agreed with your solicitor’s firm upfront. There may be a termination fee if you cancel your claim with a panel member after the 14 day cooling-off period.
We are paid recommendation fees by our panel members for successful introductions. We will not charge you for our service.
Any solicitor we refer you to is an independent professional from whom you will receive impartial and confidential advice and services from. You are free to choose a solicitor or company of your own choice, or alternatively you can pursue the matter yourself for free by raising a grievance with your employer or by contacting your trade union.
