Some work accidents cause significant injuries, such as brain and spinal injuries and it is, of course, your legal right and an absolute necessity to claim compensation for catastrophic and life threatening damage if the incident was caused by the negligence of another party.
But, even relatively minor accidents, such as slips and trips at work, can create very difficult circumstances for employees, it might be difficult to go back to work after an injury, or you might need time to get suitable treatment.
You might think that you shouldn’t make a claim for compensation because you are worried about how your employer will react, or perhaps you feel that you can take time off work on Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and everything will be all right. However, SSP is only payable for a set period of time at a set level, so if you need longer to recover or you lose out on overtime or bonus payments then if you don’t make a claim you could lose out.
And, if you are worried about repercussions at work because you have made a personal injury compensation claim, you are protected in law, so why not talk to Wellers today to see if we can help you.
Your employer has a legal responsibility to keep you safe at work – you are owed a duty of care.
Your employer must:
Your employer must also provide you with, or display in a prominent place, all relevant health and safety materials such as health and safety law posters, the workplace health and safety law policy and their Employers’ Liability certificate of insurance.
Everyone in a workplace has a responsibility to keep themselves, their work colleagues and visitors to the workplace safe from harm. If you are injured in an accident and your employer or a colleague has failed in that responsibility, then you are likely to be eligible to make a claim.
Whatever your injury, if you have suffered as a result of negligence by your employer or a work colleague you could make a claim. The following are some of the most common types of accident at work.
