Suffered an Injury at Work?
Employers Liability Claim

Accidents in the workplace are not uncommon and vary greatly depending on the type of company you work for. It is possible to suffer an injury whether you work in an office carrying out an administration job or in a factory, handling heavy machinery.

Perhaps you have suffered a repetitive strain injury from operating a computer and keyboard that was not set up correctly, or have carried or lifted something incorrectly due to a lack of handling training, or fallen over a cable or lose carpet. You may have suffered chemical burns from chemical or dust inhalation or suffered from serious injury following an accident with machinery such as welding equipment, presses, fork lift trucks, lifting equipment, fallen from a ladder or scaffolding,etc.

The list of possible causes of accidents is endless but it must be clear that in order to make a successful claim, the employer must be at fault in some way and we must be able to prove it. For example, perhaps proper training was not given or safety equipment or clothing not provided. Machinery not correctly maintained or safety guards not in place. All injuries must be reported to the company and should be recorded in an Accident Record Book. If anyone witnessed the accident, his or her details should be noted. As with all injuries, it is important to seek medical advice as soon as possible.

If you are considering making a claim, it is worth getting free advice from one of our specialist injury solicitors who can reassure you about various aspects of the claim. Many employees fear they may lose their job if they make a claim against their employer. Do not allow this fear to stop you from taking action.
