Legal Assistance after a Work Accident - Free Advice

Questioner

I've been on sick leave since November due to a workplace accident. Yesterday, I was told my contract won't be renewed until May. Now they want to offer me a sum to help me recover as quickly as possible. Is it wise to accept this offer, or should I pursue this through a lawyer?

Absolutely don't do this. This could affect any benefits you receive. I don't know if you already have someone supporting you, but if you've been sick since November due to a workplace accident, I strongly advise you to seek legal assistance. This site is intended to quickly answer simple questions, and your situation can become very complex, so I think legal assistance is essential. The costs of legal assistance can also be recovered from your employer. If you would like to obtain legal assistance, you can contact me or one of the lawyers on this site directly, without any obligation, for example via the 'direct contact' link that you will see in this answer if you are logged in.
