Injury Claims and Accidents at Work
Accidents at work are the most common type of personal injury claim, and frequently result in the payment of substantial compensation to the injured party.
If you’ve been injured at work you may be entitled to compensation from your employer, who has a legal responsibility to protect you from accident or injury while you are at work..
Why make a claim?
The law does not look kindly on employers who fail to provide a safe working environment for their employees, and seeks to fairly compensate anyone who suffers an injury as the result of an accident at work. Making a claim against your employer will ensure that you are financially able to spend time resting and are properly recovering from your personal injury, as well as covering any costs you incur as a result of your accident at work. It is also a way to ensure that your employer takes more care in the future and that the accident is not allowed to repeat itself..
Will it be complicated or stressful?
Personal injury claims for accidents at work are dealt with by solicitors and the courts on a daily basis, so systems are in place to keep them running smoothly and without unnecessary complications. A good solicitor will deal with all aspects of your claim for you and ensure that you are put through the absolute minimum of stress during the process of making a claim. In most cases it won’t take longer than a couple of months, and you won’t have to appear in court to claim your compensation..
How much compensation will I get?
This is entirely dependent on the facts of your case, such as the circumstances of your accident and the severity of your injury. Compensation can be claimed for the suffering and inconvenience your injury has caused you, as well as any financial losses resulting from your accident at work, for example medical expenses.
