    Yes, if you’ve been injured in an accident at work through no fault of your own, you have every right to claim compensation.

     

    You devote an awful lot of time and energy to your employer. It’s only fair that your employer  provides a safe environment for you to work in.

     

    Your employer has a duty of care to try to provide a safe working environment to enable you to do your job safely.

     

    Most employers will do their best to provide a safe and healthy working environment, but unfortunately however, every year thousands of accidents at work still happen.

    We understand that the thought of claiming compensation for an accident at work can seem daunting. Please be aware however that any compensation awarded to you would be paid by your employer’s insurance company, and not by your employer. Your employer must by law have insurance in place to cover this.

     

    There can be serious consequences when you are injured at work. Not only is the injury itself traumatic – but your job of course,  is your livelihood.

     

    If you lost your income because of your injury, you may have been left struggling to meet your monthly overheads. Financial anxiety is stressful and can place a big strain on family life. That’s not fair when the accident wasn’t your fault.

     

    Your employer has a legal duty to keep you safe. It’s called their ‘duty of care’. That includes taking measures to avoid accidents as well as providing proper safety equipment and training to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses from developing over time. It’s why you have every right to seek compensation. Especially if your injury has made it hard – or impossible – for you to return to work.

     

    We are here to give you free, friendly advice on your options. And don’t worry. There’s no obligation to make a claim.

     

    Thankfully, your compensation will reflect the full nature and extent of your injuries and suffering to ensure you receive a fair amount of compensation. To get started on your claim, you just need to give us a call on 0800 0511 511. When we speak with you, our friendly advisors will take a few details about the accident and the injuries you have suffered and the impact on your life.

    We will then help you access free specialist legal advice from experienced injury lawyers, who will give you a clear picture of how your claim can then proceed. Your solicitor will always work towards settling your claim as soon as possible to enable you to get on with your life.
