Common employment issues (and how to deal with them) after serious injury

William Young, a barrister specialising in personal injury and employment law discuss the most common employment issues that arise for those affected by catastrophic injury.

Interviewed by Emma Lyons, Personal Injury Senior Associate at Stewarts.

Will provides advice in relation to the important early steps to be taken by someone who has been injured (or their family or case manager) in relation to their employment following serious injury.

He explains what the employer’s duties are in relation to holding jobs for people and basic salary entitlement. William discussed a person’s right to ‘reasonable adjustments’ in the workplace and the protection that discrimination law affords those affected by serious injury.

He also provides guidance for family members who find themselves suddenly in a position where they become carers and are facing difficulties in their own employment.

Will’s main areas of work are personal injury, clinical negligence and employment law, as well as professional discipline.

Will is regularly instructed in a wide range of multi-track personal injury actions in the County Court and High Court, as well as more specifically in clinical negligence cases.
