If you have been injured in an accident at work it can be a particularly stressful time. You may be recovering from your injuries at home, while receiving sick pay or sickness benefits. You may have already returned to work but feel unsure about pursuing a compensation claim because you’re worried how your employer will react.
Many employees are deterred form seeking advice about claiming compensation for accidents at work because they fear that their position might be jeopardised. However, remember all employers are legally bound to have employer's liability insurance just in case an accident happens. You can rest assured that there is really nothing to worry about by seeking advice form a specialist personal injury firm of solicitors. We have had many years experience in handling work related personal injury compensation claims here at Scott Rees & Co – successfully settling cases for 100s of clients in this area of the law each year, including catastrophic and life changing injuries to cases where employees have been unable to continue the type of work they have been used to.
Employers have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment for their workforce. Floors, walkways, corridors and stairways should be free from obstructions and be properly maintained to reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls. Many work related claims for compensation relate to people who've been injured in this way.
Accidents at work can also occur when personnel have received insufficient training in materials handling or processes which can lead, amongst other things, to back injuries and other stresses and strains. People working in the caring professions are vulnerable to this type of accident when, for example, lifting patients.
Making a claim for compensation is the sensible option when you have suffered a work place accident which has led to injury. It will help to offset your out of pocket expenses, compensate you for your injuries and provide an element of compensation for loss of earnings and potential future loss of earnings.
