The world of Personal Injury can be quite big and daunting. That’s why we’ve broken it down in an easy way so you can hopefully find what you’re looking for. Here are all the areas we cover regarding Accident at Work Claims. Click on any of the buttons below for the type of claim you are making.
Have you been involved in an accident at work? If you have, and that industrial accident was not your fault, you could be entitled to claim accidents at work injury compensation for the harm caused.
The law says that employers and business owners are legally responsible for your welfare and safety when you sign a contract to work for them. It’s this law that allows accident claims to be pursued if you are caused harm at work in the UK. Coops Law are specialist accident at work compensation solicitors. We can help you find out if you can claim compensation for your workplace accident, quickly and in complete confidence.
There are lots of ways you might end up in an accident at work. If your colleagues leave some boxes on the floor, and you then fall over them, that’s classed as a working accident. Or perhaps the building maintenance guys forget to use the sign advising you of a wet floor – if you should slip as a result, that’s a workplace injury.
Whatever the reason, it’s always worth finding out if you can make an industrial accident claim for compensation. That’s where we can help.
No matter what measures your employer takes to minimise workplace risks, accidents at work can and do happen. A general overview of the kinds of working accidents which can be caused by health and safety breaches are detailed here:
Think about it! If you were injured in your workplace – through no fault of your own – and that injury resulted in you being unable to work for a number of days, weeks or even months, how would you cope financially?
Work accident compensation is available for just this kind of situation. It’s designed to help you cope with life, whilst you recover from your personal injury.
So, if you need expensive medical equipment or rehabilitation – that’s what compensation is for!
If you have no other way of paying your bills while you are off work with your illness – that’s what compensation is for!
If you think you may need to specialist care in the future – that’s what compensation is for!
Claiming industrial accident compensation for an accident at work that is not your fault is your right under the law. So, why not contact us now for a free informal chat with a personal injury lawyer. It’ll only take a couple of minutes – but the results could change your life.
When you’re at work, your employer has a legal duty to make sure that you are safe. This involves providing training and any safety equipment, where needed, as well as, making sure that all possible precautions have been taken for you to avoid an injury. So, if you were expected to work without these in place, in an environment where health and safety procedures were non-existent, then your employer has failed in their ‘duty of care’ to you.
If you have then had an accident at work because of this failing, and you are suffering from an industrial injury, other health problems, or a terminal illness, you are entitled to make a claim for compensation.
A full explanation of the duty your employer has to you is here: Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
It’s important to remember that claiming compensation for an accident at work is not personal. The law says that all employers are required to have insurance to cover them for when their employees are injured.
Some people are worried about making a claim when it’s their employer they are claiming from. This is because they think it might affect their working relationships, with their bosses and colleagues. They worry that they might be sacked or feel like they have to leave because of a bad atmosphere.
But you needn’t fear – there are laws to prevent those things from happening. So you must never feel guilty about claiming for industrial injury compensation.
And remember, if your claim is successful, the compensation money comes from the insurance policy of your employer, not their personal pocket! So, you won’t be harming their own finances.
