Work Accidents

Many accidents occur within the workplace. Many result in injuries that keep you off work, and some accidents result in permanent injury that can restrict the type of work you will be able do in the future. Some, sadly, result in death.

Your employers have a legal obligation to provide adequate training, to maintain health and safety standards and to minimise the risk of workplace accidents occurring.

Sometimes accidents occur because a work colleague does not carry out a task properly. If this results in you being injured, your employers may still be responsible.

Sometimes accidents are caused by visitors to your workplace. If you are injured in these circumstances, you may still have a claim.

Sometimes accidents occur when you are sent offsite. If you are injured in these circumstances, you may still have a claim.

If you have had an accident at work, you must inform your employer and ensure that it is accurately recorded in the Accident Book. Even if your accident hasn’t caused you to take time off work, you can still claim compensation for the injury itself.

If you do have a claim, we will obtain an interim payment from the responsible party’s insurers to assist with any financial hardship you have been caused and to pay for treatment privately at the earliest opportunity.
