Accident at Work Claims FAQs

Having helped so many people with accident at work claims, we understand that you may have many questions.

Here are the most common ones that we hear.

Am I entitled to make an accident at work claim?

Your employer must take reasonable steps to ensure your safety at work. If they don’t, and if you’re injured as a result, you may be entitled to make an accident at work claim.

Employers have a responsibility to ensure their employees can work safely and without risk of injury.

This is known as a ‘duty of care’.

An employer can meet their duty of care in a number of ways. For example, machinery and equipment must be well maintained. Adequate training and supervision must be given. Protective clothing and safety equipment must be provided, and all health and safety regulations must be adhered to. The law is designed to ensure that employees can enjoy a safety working environment and are not put are risk because of their job.

If your employer fails in any of their duties and you suffer an injury, you may well be entitled to claim compensation.

What types of accidents can give rise to an accident at work claim?

Any accident that arises because of your employer’s failure to comply with their legal duty to keep you safe at work can give rise to an accident at work claim.

Some examples of accidents at work for which your employer may be responsible include:

Slips, trips, and falls on uneven floors.
Strains from handling heavy objects incorrectly due to inadequate safety training.
Crushing injuries due to faulty machinery.
Cuts and lacerations due to inadequate personal protective equipment.

Can I recover my lost earnings?

Our solicitors will ensure that you get the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries. As well as compensation for your pain and suffering, we can recover any money you have lost as a result of your accident, including your lost earnings. Often this is a huge relief for our clients, as workplace accidents sometimes mean you cannot return to work immediately, if at all. This loss of income can be devastating, potentially having a series of knock-on effects.

Will I lose my job?

People are often wary of making work accident claims for two reasons. Firstly, they are concerned that they might lose their job. Secondly, they fear that their employer will have to personally pay for their compensation and legal fees. However, you must not worry about either of these things. Your employer is not allowed to treat you any differently for making a personal injury claim. Also, your employer is obliged to have insurance, which will cover the cost of any work accident claims.

“I am not only satisfied but amazed at such a fantastic service. After recently being in a minor car accident I contacted the firm for legal advice. They immediately assisted me through the procedure and I was kept up to date consistently and within 4 months my case was completely dealt with. Fantastic solicitors.”

How much compensation can I claim?

You’re entitled to compensation for your pain, suffering, and loss of amenity, as well as the financial losses you have sustained.

Your financial losses might include medical expenses, travel costs, and loss of earnings. These are known as ‘special damages’. The compensation for your pain, suffering, and loss of amenity will be based on a number of factors unique to your case, such as the type of injury you sustained and how your life has been impacted. You can claim for both physical and psychological injuries. This compensation is known as ‘general damages’.

While the level of general damages you can expect depends entirely on the circumstances of your case, you can get an idea of the compensation range for specific injury types here.

How will I fund my accident at work claim?

Please don’t worry about how you’ll fund your accident at work claim. We’ll only advise you to proceed if we’re confident you’ll win, meaning you’re exposed to minimal financial risk since the other side will cover your legal costs.

Our personal injury solicitors, will discuss funding options with you and explain how litigation costs work when we meet with you. We’ll ensure you’re entirely comfortable with the costs position and answer any questions before we start work on your case.

How much will it cost to claim?

Making a successful Compensation Claim will cost you nothing, as all legal fees are paid by the Insurance Company. We also make sure that you keep 100% of your compensation after an accident.
