Accident At Work: Can You Claim Compensation?
You will be able to receive compensation for injuries sustained in an accident at work if we are able to prove that the accident happened because someone other than you was negligent. In other words, if we can prove that someone else was at least partially at fault.
Don't worry if you are not sure whether or not someone else is to blame for your accident: it is often possible to establish a legal case even when this is not clear cut. During the free assessment of your claim, we will be able to establish whether we believe your case is likely to succeed.

Accident At Work: Suing Your Employer?
This is a worry for many. However, it should not be. Your employer will have what is called Employer's Liability Insurance (required by law): any claim for compensation is made against that policy and not directly against your employer. Note also that it would be an offence for your employer to discriminate against you because you are pursuing a claim for injuries sustained during the fulfilment of your duties.
Accident At Work: Negligence?
Your employer is required by law to provide you with a safe working environment and with the right tools and training to ensure you safely perform your work. If they fail to meet any of these requirements, the law considers them to have been negligent. In order to successfully pursue a claim for compensation, your solicitor will need to prove negligence on the part of your employer.

Accident At Work: Common Accidents
Every accident, every injury, is unique and we therefore treat them as such. The most common causes of accidents at work result either in lifting injuries, from lack of adequate protective equipment, from a slip or trip, or from machinery. Despite every effort made by the government to develop stringent health and safety rules, employers sometimes get it wrong.
Contact us now on 0800 037 1260 to find out how we can help you get back on your feet.
