Work Injury 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 injury 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 accident compensation claim made against them.

Work Injury Compensation Claim Types

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

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

What to Do Following an Accident at Work

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

At Injuries Direct we provide a professional, efficient service that has secured many people the work accident compensation they are entitled to. Our knowledge of such claims, along with our access to many of the country’s top work injury compensation solicitors means that your claim is dealt with quickly and with a minimum of fuss.

Accidents at work can have a huge financial affect on yourself and your loved ones. Compensation can go a long way to making up for any loss of earnings, plus other economical losses you may have encountered following your work accident. Our service is designed to recover all lost monies, plus extra for the pain and suffering caused by an unnecessary injury. All of this is offered on a No Win No Fee basis – meaning you don’t have a penny to pay to make a claim with us.
