Can you claim workplace accident compensation?
In even the most careful of workplaces, accidents happen. Whether you consider yourself to work in a safe place like an office, or a more dangerous environment like a factory full of heavy machinery or a construction site, there are numerous accidents in workplaces every year. The question is: are you entitled to claim workplace accident compensation?
An employer’s liability for his employees’ injuries depends on whether he has breached his duty to keep his employees safe. The practical things that an employer has to do to discharge this duty include regular risk assessments and reports, Health and Safety training, and providing proper safety equipment like protective goggles and work wear.
What happened?
Your claim depends on whether your injury was due to your employer’s failure to do any of these things. In some cases a claimant’s own actions might have contributed to the circumstances leading up to the accident. For example, an eye injury due to some spilt chemicals will not attract much workplace accident compensation if the worker did not wear the safety goggles that were provided. On the other hand, if no safety goggles were provided where they should have been, the worker will be entitled to significantly more compensation.
These are exactly the kinds of details that our personal injury specialists want to know about when you telephone our free claims assessment hotline. With the information from your brief telephone call or online claim form, we can assess your claim and let you know what your chances are of securing an award of compensation.
Are you in time?
Claimants are often surprised at how long they have to claim workplace accident compensation. The law allows up to 3 years from the date of the accident in most cases, but check with one of our personal injury lawyers about your own specific case before leaving it that long! In fact, the earlier you claim the better, because medical experts who are called upon to comment on your condition find it easier to connect your injury with the accident if there is only a short gap between the injury and the medical examination.
In an uncertain economic climate, claimants are often also surprised to learn that they can claim against a former employer, if the accident happened less than 3 years ago. Call our claims hotline and check with one of our specialists if you are unsure.
