Accidents at work – how to claim compensation

If you’ve had an accident at work in the last few years and you weren’t to blame, you could have a claim for accident compensation. Statistically, the workplace – whether it’s an office, factory or an industrial plant – is the most common place for people to have accidents. Every employer has a duty of care to their workers, and if your employer has failed in theirs to you and you have been injured as a result then you are justified in making a claim for compensation.

Making a claim
Very often, when an employee is injured at work they are very hesitant about pursuing an accident compensation claim against their employer. They fear being seen as troublemakers or even of sending the company into possible bankruptcy. These fears, however understandable, are usually groundless as every employer must by law hold Employers Liability Insurance. This is to cover them in the event of an employee having an accident or becoming ill as a direct result of their working conditions. It’s very rare for an employee to be victimised as a result of action he has taken; indeed, it would be against the law and could result in a separate claim.

Types of injury

It would be impossible to list them all here, but we have handled all manner of accident compensation claims from neck injury, back injury and RSI ( repetitive strain injury) to industrial injury and military accidents.
