Workplace Accident Claim -
The workplace accident claim is the legal procedure that a work accident victim must go through to get compensated for the injuries suffered. Work accidents happen especially in factories or other industrial workplaces where the risks are much higher. The first thing you need to do if you find yourself in this unpleasant situation is to report the accident in the accident log book as soon as possible. If you later on decide that you want to file a claim, the fact that you reported it on time will make your case stronger. Also, if there are any witnesses, write down their personal details (name, address, phone number). Of course, you must do all these if you have the physical capacity after the accident. Work accidents can have severe consequences like the incapacity to go to work anymore. That’s why at this moment contacting a good work accident no win no fee solicitor is imperative. Backed by serious medical proof, your loss of earnings can be compensated for in this case. An often overestimated issue is the victimisation of the employers. In most of workplace accident claims, the ones who must provide compensation are the employers. That leads to a common mistake made by the victims, who simply do not pursue with the claim anymore fearing they will lose their jobs. But this is your right because your employers have insurance policies which cover these cases, so don't think you are robbing them of their personal money. Of course, they may personally have some minor expenses like a few phone calls but that’s about it. You need to think about your health first. What are the cases which most often lead to workplace accidents? Which are the ones that incriminate the employers? As a matter of fact, everything that’s going on around the factory is the employers’ responsibility. Having a management job sounds tempting, but it comes with its responsibilities. For example, if you injure yourself because of faulty machinery, even though it was delivered by another company, it’s still the employers’ responsibility. The maintenance of everything around the workplace is supervised by the management staff. As another example, let’s say you got injured by one of the other workers who wasn’t provided with proper training for the job. Again, you guessed it, it’s the employers’ responsibility. Everything else, like unsafe working environment, lack of proper working conditions (adequate lighting, heating, ventilation, etc), bad and unsuitable working equipment, all these are supposed to be supervised by your bosses. If you, however, carry a partial blame for the accident, your compensation is bound to be far smaller. For example, you were given the proper training, equipment and every safety measure was properly taken care of but you were involved in an accident because of your own negligence. This can reduce the amount of money you get to half of the normal compensation or even less. But in general, the employers are the ones who need to watch out for everything around the factory. The attitude of saving money instead of investing in the safety of the work environment is not on and many don’t realise that it can only cost them even more money. Foremost, think about yourself. Medical treatment can cost a lot of money, depending on the seriousness of the injuries and why should you pay for that? Not to mention the phone bills, the incapacity of not being able to work again and many other expenses. You need to understand that an accident, if you are unlucky enough, can make you pay for it for the rest of your life. And since you are not at fault then it is your right to file a workplace accident claim.
