Stress compensation
Stress can have a serious impact on your wellbeing, affecting not just your mental health but also your work, relationships and overall quality of life. While a little bit of stress is common, excessive or unrelenting stress and pressure is unhealthy, and the consequences can range from sleepless nights and anxiety to more severe outcomes like depression.
Beyond these effects on your mental health, stress can affect other areas of your life. It can make it difficult to perform well at work, put strain on your personal relationships and causes physical health issues. If you're struggling with stress issues due to someone’s actions or negligence, you may be able to claim compensation.

Stress can manifest in various ways, affecting not just your mental health but also your physical wellbeing and overall quality of life. Here's a breakdown of the aspects of stress for which you might be able to claim compensation:
At Switalskis, we recognise that stress isn't just ‘in your head.’ It's a real, debilitating condition that can turn your life upside down. We're here to listen, offer expert legal advice and guide you through the claims process, making it as simple as possible.
Dealing with stress is hard enough without the added pressure of navigating a compensation claim. That's where our dedicated team of solicitors comes in. We'll handle the bulk of the legal responsibility for you, keeping you in the loop so you understand the progress we’ve made. In that way, you can focus on getting better.
Here's a quick guide to how the claims process usually goes:
We'll discuss what you're going through and give you an idea of what to expect if you decide to make a claim.
We'll start by collecting evidence to back up your argument. This could include medical records, work emails or anything else that proves your stress is due to someone else's actions. If you've had to pay for therapy or medication, we'll need any financial records too, to make sure you’re fairly compensated for these expenses.
Once we've built a solid case, we'll get in touch with the person or organisation responsible for your stress, as well as their insurance company, to let them know you're claiming compensation. It’s up to them to decide whether to accept liability, and they’ll usually have four months in which to do so.
If the other party admits fault, we can move straight to the negotiation phase. We’ll fight to make sure you receive a fair settlement. If they don't accept liability, we're fully prepared to take things to court to secure the compensation you’re owed.
While most stress compensation claims are settled outside of court, some do go to trial. If that happens, you can count on us to present your case and represent you throughout the process.
If your claim is successful, we'll make sure you get the compensation you deserve, covering not just medical costs but also any emotional and physical suffering caused by your stress.
Throughout the process, we'll keep you updated so you're never in the dark about the progress we’re making.
Generally, stress compensation claims need to be brought within three years of the date you realised your stress was caused by someone else's actions or negligence. This is somewhat different from other types of personal injury claims, as stress symptoms can sometimes take a while to become apparent.
Here are some exceptions to the standard three-year rule:
Every claim is different and takes its own time to resolve. There may be other exceptions to this rule, but this will always depend on the discretion of the courts. The sooner we get started, the stronger your case is likely to be.
We deal with the majority of our personal injury claims (which includes stress claims) on a no win, no fee basis. This means you only pay us if your case is successful and compensation is secured. A pre-agreed amount of your final compensation contributes to your legal fees.
