Workplace stress can have a profound impact on your health, wellbeing, and daily life. If you are suffering because your employer has failed to protect you from undue stress at work, you may be entitled to bring a stress at work claim. The Law Firm Group is here to offer expert legal advice and practical support, guiding you through every step of the process with professionalism, understanding, and efficiency.
Understanding Stress at Work Claims
Employers in the UK have a legal duty to safeguard their employees’ mental health and provide a safe working environment. When workplace stress becomes excessive due to factors such as bullying, harassment, unrealistic workloads, lack of support, or unsafe practices, it can lead to serious physical and psychological harm. In such cases, employees may have grounds to pursue a stress at work claim.
Our specialist solicitors at The Law Firm Group have extensive experience in helping clients across the UK who have suffered due to preventable workplace stress. We understand the sensitive nature of these claims and offer a confidential, approachable service tailored to your individual needs.
Common Situations Leading to Stress at Work Claims
There are a variety of situations in which you might consider seeking legal advice regarding stress at work. Typical examples include:
Bullying or harassment: Persistent negative treatment by colleagues or managers.
Unmanageable workload: Being expected to handle excessive duties or unrealistic deadlines.
Lack of support: Inadequate training or resources to complete your job safely.
Discrimination: Unfair treatment based on protected characteristics.
Poor communication: Lack of clear information or feedback, leading to confusion and stress.
Management failures: Employers ignoring complaints or failing to act on reported issues.
If you recognise any of these situations in your own experience, our UK solicitors are here to discuss your options and offer guidance on whether you may have a valid claim.
The Legal Process for a Stress at Work Claim
Making a stress at work claim can seem daunting, but The Law Firm Group is committed to making the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

3. Advising on Options
Once we have a full understanding of your case, we’ll advise you on the strength of your claim, potential outcomes, and the most appropriate course of action. This may include formal grievances, negotiation with your employer, or, where necessary, pursuing a claim in the courts.
