Accident at Work Claims

Suffering from an injury at work can be a stressful time, especially if it affects your ability to do your job. Many people have had an accident at work that was not their fault and are afraid of making a claim due to fear of what impact this would have on their employment.

It is a legal requirement for all employers to ensure all reasonable steps have been taken to minimise the risk of injury within the workplace. It’s their responsibility to provide a safe place to work, provide suitable equipment, recruit competent staff and provide adequate training. If you are in an accident due to negligence of your employer, you could be entitled to compensation.

At PM Law, we pride ourselves on providing expert legal assistance to those who have suffered an accident in the workplace.

Can you make a claim for an accident at work?

Statistics show that less than half of employees claim for accidents at work when they rightfully could have. Although it might feel daunting, no one deserves to feel anxious about making a claim for the compensation they deserve.

It’s important to remember that by making a claim, it draws attention to the risks that otherwise might not be noticed by employers. Furthermore, your employer is duty-bound to resolve any issues that have been reported to them. As such, reporting the issue to them will go some way to ensuring it is fixed, therefore, ensuring your colleagues won’t suffer similar injuries.

If you’ve been in an accident that wasn’t your fault, it’s important to seek legal advice. At PM Law, we will use our expertise to support you through the claims process.

Common accidents at work

The causes of workplace accidents may vary significantly depending on the type of workplace. For example, the type of injury sustained on a construction site may be different from those that occur in an office. On top of that, injuries vary vastly in severity, from a painful inconvenience to fatalities.

There are a few common ways that people get into accidents at work. These include but are not limited to:

  • Slips, Trips & Falls

  • Handling, lifting, or carrying
  • Being struck by a moving object

  • Falls from height

If you have been injured and can prove negligence, you may be entitled to make a claim. PM Law are here to support you and represent you. No matter how you sustained an injury or the level of severity, you deserve support.

How much compensation can I get for an accident at work claim?

The process of making a claim can be daunting and feel taxing, especially if it’s during a time that you’re still in pain. However, providing that your employer has been negligent, it is their responsibility to put you back in the position you would have been but for the accident. As such, the compensation that you could be entitled to can be a welcome relief.

The amount of compensation you receive will depend on factors such as the severity of the injury and the impact it’s had on your life. Generally, the more serious the injury, the more money you could receive.

Our brilliant team of accident-at-work lawyers will gather evidence to help secure the compensation you deserve. We will ensure that the amount of compensation you recover is a fair amount in accordance with the legal guidelines that we have to adhere to.
