GENERAL NOTES
ACCIDENT AT WORK CLAIMS
As outlined
above there are many thousands of people injured at work every year in
the UK. Despite massive strides in health & safety in the workplace the
potential for injury is still high in many environments.
You could
argue sometimes that the "risk" of injury comes with the job or is
likely to happen to you one day simply because of the law of averages
etc. However the law stipulates that working conditions should be safe
and all reasonable steps should be taken by the employer to avoid
accidents and injury to employees. Most employers do their level best to
comply with the safety regulations and even they occasionally may not be
able to prevent an injury or accident at work. However there are other
employers who hold the safety regulations in complete disregard and put
the wellbeing of their employees at risk.
Whatever
your circumstances - if you have been injured as a result of an accident
at work then you may be entitled to compensation and you should make
appropriate enquiries. Find out today what your rights are and whether
we can help you with your claim.

DO I NEED A SOLICITOR?
You do not
necessarily need a solicitor to pursue a claim but if you have suffered
personal injury it is highly recommended that you do
in fact instruct one. Employment insurers would be quite happy for you to deal
direct with them because they have experienced staff who will negotiate
a quick and potentially satisfactory settlement for you. But your
chances of a fair settlement are substantially reduced if you do not use
a personal injury solicitor.
Your
solicitor will advise you of exactly what you are entitled to claim and
what level of compensation you should receive. The solicitor will then
negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf ensuring that you recover
everything that you are entitled to. Do not accept anything less.

claim because your damages reflect your pain and suffering and belong to
you.
WHAT CAN I CLAIM FOR
If you make
an accident at work claim for personal injury you will be entitled to:
In relation
to personal injury you can claim for - pain and suffering, loss of
amenity, treatment costs (most insurers will place you on a free physio
program if such treatment is recommended and liability admitted) loss of
earnings - even where this is refused initially by the employer - and potentially other items in the case of more serious
personal injuries.
