Injury at Work Compensation Claims
Claim compensation if you have been injured at work
If you have suffered injury at work, you are probably feeling a little isolated and uncertain as to what to do next.
Health & Safety laws exist to protect you and give you the right to claim compensation if you are injured at work due to your employers negligence. Although you will naturally feel awkward about pursuing a claim, most employers are used to it and accept it as part of their operation. Also, it is a legal requirement that your employer has liability insurance in place to cover incidents of workplace injury and as such it is highly unlikely that they will take your action personally.
The important thing to do if you have been involved in an accident at work is to seek legal advice.

Your work injury solicitor will be there to support you
Firstly, your solicitor will investigate your case thoroughly by gathering witness statements, accident reports and any other relevant documents about your injury at work. They might look at other accidents similar to yours and obtain information from independent sources, such as a consulting engineer.
They will check to see if any complaints were made to your employer about the conditions that caused your work injury, before it happened. If there were, your solicitor might want to write to or speak with the people who made them. Any statements that they can provide can be of key importance to your case.
Your solicitor will also look for evidence that other accidents similar to yours happened previously. Again, they may wish to speak with the people involved, no matter how minor the effects of their accident were. Evidence concerning complaints or previous accidents can be vital to your case. They can help to prove that your employer knew about potential risks, and didn’t take any action to avoid injuries happening.
