How Can Our Hurt On Duty Compensation Lawyers Help?

If you’ve been injured or become unwell while working as a Police Officer, Fire Fighter, Paramedic or other emergency service worker, the team at Kells can help you pursue a compensation claim.

Suffering an injury on the job is challenging enough without the added pressure of dealing with paperwork and insurance requirements. We understand the physical, emotional and financial toll this can take, and we’re here to support you through the process.


  • Filing claims for reasonable medical expenses
  • Making a claim for make-up pay if your injury affects your income
  • Seeking lump-sum payments for pain and suffering, especially if your injury is permanent


The claims process can feel like an intricate maze to deal with, particularly when you're still recovering. That’s why we’ll guide you through it step by step, offering practical advice and handling the details on your behalf.


We also offer a no win, no fee arrangement, which means you won’t pay for our services unless compensation is awarded.

We pride ourselves on making the process as easy and simple as possible.
