The consequences of personal injury arising from a work accident can be very stressful, and you need to be 100% confident of having the right lawyer looking after your interests and any possible compensation claim – someone with the skills and experience to make sure your road traffic claim is handled quickly and efficiently, and with the best outcome.
The fact that we spend the majority of our time in the workplace, combined with a working culture of long hours means that work accidents are relatively common. The law states that an employer has a “duty of care” towards their employees. As such where this duty is breached and an employee is injured then they may be entitled to compensation.
Whilst a large number of accident take place in industry, owing to an undoubtedly higher risk of injury, work accidents can take place wherever the appropriate health and safety requirements are not in place.
Common types of work accidents which we are often instructed on include:
- Workplace slips and trips;
- Work accidents in the office;
- Construction site accidents;
- Factory accident;
- industrial disease;
- Military accidents.
One of the major misconceptions about work accident claims is that people often fear they will be treated differently after making a work accident claim or that they may even be fired. The simple answer to this is that it is illegal for an employer to sack an employee for making a work accident claim. This would result in a case of unfair dismissal, which would mean your employer could face further legal action.
