Work Related Accidents
Accidents happen at work all the time, these can range from very minor accidents such as Repetitive Strain Injury to major accidents with very serious consequences such as
- Time off work
- Emotional Strain
- Financial Strain
- Permanent Disability
Every employer has to follow strict guidelines to ensure that the working environment is as safe as possible and that the risk of an employee having an accident is as small as possible. This can range from basic tests of machinery, electrical outlets to providing the relevant safety equipment and informing employees where accidents could occur.
Am I entitled to claim?
If you have been in an accident at work that you can prove was someone else's fault then you could be entitled to compensation. Some causes of accidents in the workplace that could generate compensation are as follows
- Damaged or Unsuitable Equipment
- Dangerous Working Practices
- Contact with Dangerous Materials
- Poor Health and Safety
One thing we stress to all clients is that, if you make a claim for compensation against your employer, they must not (by law) treat you unfairly or dismiss you. They are covered by liability insurance to cover them for accidents by employees therefore it is their insurance company, not the company itself, paying your compensation.
