• Job Accident -

• Whose to blame?

Have you ever asked yourself “When am I eligible for a job accident claim”? If you never have, then it’s time as you are reading this. Because you can never predict an accident and hazardous things always happen in an instant. It’s a known fact that many job accidents happen out of negligence that’s why appropriate measures need to be taken.

You may have witnessed some accidents yourself and you were glad you weren’t involved in them. But what if the next time you aren’t a simple outsider? I hope you will never be involved in a job accident or any other type of accident for that matter, but if it does happen, you have to know your rights.

Usually, people who are eligible for a job accident claim think twice before going through all the procedures. They are afraid they will lose their jobs or they will be judged by fellow workers and employers. Same employers who are actually responsible for that accident. But what are the conditions that form the premises of claiming? If one or more of the situations presented below can be found in your case, then you should really consider a job accident claim.

Safety wasn't ensured around the workplace

Employers ought to do everything in their power to make sure that their workers carry out their daily jobs in the safest environment possible. The concept of “low budget safety measures” should not exist. The life of a person can not be measured in money.

Suitable equipment was not provided

There are many different types of jobs, each one with a risk factor that can range from low to very high. In any case, your employers should provide you with the equipment best suitable for the job you need to do. Several factors have to be taken into consideration here, like the tasks you are supposed to do, the materials with which you have to work with and the overall risk factor you have exposure to.

Adequate training was not given to you and your work colleagues

The first thing your employers should do when they hire someone is to give adequate training not only to you, but also to all your work colleagues. That’s because being able to trust the persons who are working right beside you is a crucial aspect, especially in high-risk operations. Knowing that you are surrounded by capable workers is an important psychological boost.

Now, if you are in one of the situations described above, the answer to the question “Can I claim?” is an obvious one: yes, you can. However, you may ask yourself “Should I claim?” You might be afraid of the repercussions, of the strange looks your work colleagues and employers would give you. Although in these kinds of situations, when the job accident is their fault, they do feel guilty but really would not want you to claim.

Find a good and reliable work accident solicitor that works on a 'no win no fee' basis. Meaning, if your solicitor loses your case ('no win') you pay nothing ('no fee'). On the bright side, if your solicitor wins your case, his fees get paid by the other party and you walk away with 100% of the compensation money.

In the end, it all boils down to your personality. If you are a person who wants the right thing to be done, you will claim. That’s because if employers (deliberately or not) don’t provide their workers with the safest working environment possible, the big probability is that accidents will happen again.

If however you are satisfied with the sick pay and don’t want to get entangled in all the social consequences of claiming, you are probably not going to do it. For these kinds of people, my one piece of advice would be: think again. It’s not only about the money; it’s also about your life and the lives of other people. What happened to you could happen again to other workers if your employers don’t understand they have to increase the general safety of your workplace. Employers, as business people, tend to minimise the overall costs of production. They don’t realise that by providing a high risk environment for workers they will be eventually forced not only to pay their possible claims, but also to invest in suitable equipment. All facts put forward, go and file your job accident claim!
