Accident at Work Compensation

All employees have the right to work in an environment without danger of accident or injury. The term ‘accident at work’ covers the whole range of ways someone can be hurt in a non-fault accident whilst on the premises of their employer. Here at Injuries Direct we can help you make a work accident compensation claim if you are suffering after an accident that wasn’t your fault.

Employers hold a duty of care for their staff whilst they are at work and must provide appropriate safety training in order to minimise the risk of accidents from occurring. Employer liability is when they have failed to do this, and in the vast majority of cases if they could have done something to prevent your accident, they will be liable for any work injury compensation claim made against them.

Work Accident Compensation Claim Types

Here at Injuries Direct we deal with a vast amount of different work injury compensation claim types. Some of these include:

• Construction Site Accident Claim
• Falls From Height Claim
• Faulty Equipment Claims
• Fork-Lift Truck Accident Claims
• Lifting and Carrying Injury Claims
• Repetitive Strain Injury Claims
• Slip, Trip or Fall Accident Claims

If your accident type is not mentioned here, and you still wish to make a accident at work compensation claim, we strongly recommend contacting us for a free, impartial discussion with one of our claims advisors on the circumstances of your work injury.

Accident at Work Compensation - What to Do

A number of steps should be taken following an accident at work that will maximise your chances of a successful work accident compensation claim. These include:

• Fill in an accident at work report accurately and promptly
• Take a photograph of the accident scene. These can be hugely important in the success of your claim. Most modern day mobile phones have cameras built into them
• Obtain names, contact details and statements from any witnesses to your accident
• Notify your trade union if you are a member of one. They may be able to pass on information about whether similar accidents have happened in the past

Employers are now obliged by law to possess employers’ liability insurance to protect their workers financially if they are injured during their time on their premises. Therefore making a work injury compensation claim against your employer does not have a direct impact on them financially. This means that there is no reason why good worker-employer relationship cannot be maintained following your accident, if you so wish.

Making a Work Injury Compensation Claim

Timing is important with your claim for work injury compensation. Three years is the maximum time in which a claim can be made following the date of your accident. Therefore it is important to contact someone to help quickly in order to get you the compensation you are entitled to.

Our knowledge of such claims, along with our access to many of the country’s top accident at work compensation claim solicitors means that your claim is dealt with quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
