POA

POA members can benefit from free legal advice and representation on personal injury, serious injury, industrial disease claims and more.

Talk to us

Thompsons is proud to partner the POA. We actively campaign alongside the union to promote the benefits of membership while delivering first-class legal services to members.

Unlike high street law firms, who can make deductions of up to 25% of damages, Thompsons guarantees that working and retired POA members and their families will retain 100% of any personal injury compensation secured. Our work with the POA includes landmark rulings and we have extensive experience of successfully representing POA members involved in workplace assaults, securing hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation for what are often career-ending injuries.
