The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) works with Thompsons Solicitors to provide both its current and retired members with the best comprehensive legal cover available, included in the union membership at no extra cost. This means you can carry out your work safe in the knowledge that you and your family members are protected with expert legal support in the event you are injured or mistreated at work.
Unlike high street firms, Thompsons will only ever act for the injured or mistreated worker, never for employers or their insurers.
Also unlike high street firms, who take up to 25% of your compensation in a personal injury claim, Thompsons’ commitment to NUJ members includes a guarantee that you will retain 100% of any compensation secured.
Based across the UK, Thompsons’ specialist solicitors provide free legal advice and representation on:
- Personal injury – at or away from work, on the roads or abroad including assaults
- Serious injury including brain injuries and spinal cord injuries
- Special terms for clinical negligence
- Employment law advice (accessed via your Chapel representative or the NUJ head office)
- Work-related emergency criminal law advice on 0800 587 7530 (non-emergency criminal law advice accessed via the NUJ head office)
- Basic will writing
- Competitive rates for conveyancing
Your family is also covered for:
- Personal injury away from work, on holiday or on the roads
- Special terms for clinical negligence
