The RCN prides itself on having the largest in-house specialist legal team of any union in the UK to protect its members and every year the RCN recovers millions of pounds in compensation.
As an RCN member you’re eligible for legal advice and representation for injuries sustained due to the fault of someone else. Whether a workplace injury or not*, we can help you obtain 100% of your compensation. The service is completely free to members, regardless of whether the claim is successful.
We can also help your family and friends if they’ve suffered injury through no fault of their own.
Accidents happen every day and a serious injury could be life changing. People depend on their wellbeing to provide for their families, support their lifestyle and secure the future of their loved ones.
If you’ve been injured in an accident or incident that wasn’t your fault, then you shouldn’t have to suffer the costs. As part of your membership we can help you claim compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, and loss of income whatever the cause or nature of your accident.
Strict deadlines apply to personal injury claims so if you think you may need to make a claim don’t delay in contacting us. Find out more about making a claim here and call us on 0345 772 6100 without delay.
Alongside progressing your claim, we can also offer members emotional support and counselling to help during this difficult time.

We can also provide them with expert tailored legal advice, assistance and representation to bring a claim**.
Claims will be underwritten by a highly competitive after the event insurance policy, meaning your loved ones will have peace of mind that they will receive at least 75% of the compensation awarded.
