Yes, a claim checker works for both workplace accidents and road traffic accidents, and it is designed to quickly assess whether you may be eligible to claim compensation.

A claim checker—often referred to as a compensation eligibility checker—is an online tool that asks a series of simple questions about your situation. This usually includes details such as how the accident happened, where it occurred, when it took place, and whether you suffered a physical or psychological injury. For workplace accidents, it looks at whether your employer may have breached their duty of care—for example, by failing to provide proper training, equipment, or a safe working environment. For road traffic accidents, it assesses factors like fault, involvement of another party, and available evidence such as witness statements or reports.

Based on your answers, the claim checker provides an initial eligibility assessment. It does not give a final legal decision but helps determine whether your case is worth pursuing. If your responses suggest a valid claim, you may then be contacted by a legal expert to discuss the next steps, often under a no win no fee agreement.

Using a compensation eligibility checker is usually free, quick, and comes with no obligation, making it a useful first step before starting a formal claim.
