Suffering a job-site accident or contracting an occupational illness shouldn't mean facing financial distress or battling insurance adjusters alone. At Wangui Kuria & Co. Advocates, we stand as dedicated legal champions for injured employees, surviving families, and business owners navigating workplace injury disputes. We combine deep empathy with aggressive litigation in the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) and statutory labor tribunals to ensure full medical coverage, fair disability awards, and complete enforcement of statutory rights.
Navigating workplace injury claims requires strict compliance with the Work Injury Benefits Act (WIBA, Cap 236), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and administrative procedures set by the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS). Our legal team represents clients across:
Filing and pursuing Permanent Total Disability (PTD) and Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) claims under WIBA, ensuring compensation is correctly calculated using the statutory 96-month earnings formula.
Challenging understated medical impairment scores issued by insurance doctors or DOSHS assessors to secure fair lump-sum awards.
Enforcing an employer's mandatory statutory duty under Section 47 of WIBA to defray all reasonable medical expenses, surgical costs, and rehabilitation fees as they are incurred.
Securing temporary incapacity benefits equivalent to two-thirds of monthly earnings while injured workers recover.
Filing formal Section 52 objections against flawed awards or rejections issued by the Director of Work Injury Benefits.
Litigating enforcement suits and appeals before the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) in accordance with Supreme Court precedents.
Defending compliant businesses against exaggerated claims, fraudulent injury allegations, or off-duty accidents.
Holding insurance carriers accountable when they refuse in bad faith to indemnify an employer under a valid WIBA insurance policy.
Compassionate, Human Legal Support: We take the time to understand your physical injury and financial pressure, providing respectful, transparent guidance every step of the way.
Uncompromising Courtroom Advocacy: When employers or insurance underwriters refuse to settle within the statutory timelines, we take decisive legal action before the ELRC.
No Technical Overlooks: We ensure all accident reports (DOSHS Part I & II) and medical assessments are filed accurately within mandatory statutory deadlines.
Strategic Local Reach: Headquartered at BushGate Towers (4th Floor, Suite 11) in Ruiru, we offer quick access to DOSHS offices, labor tribunals, and ELRC courts across Kiambu, Nairobi, and regional court stations nationwide.
