Accident at Work Advice

What is an accident at work claim?

An accident at work claim is the legal process in which an employee, who has suffered an injury at work, seeks financial compensation against those responsible for causing the injury.

What sort of accidents at work can I make a claim for?

Different workplaces come with different risks and possible injuries. Some of the most common workplace injuries we secure compensation on behalf of our clients for include:

• Slips, trips and falls
• Workplace assaults
• Strain injuries and manual handling injuries
• Crush injury claims
• Needlestick injury claims.

Will I lose my job if I make a claim?

Making an accident at work claim should not affect your job. If you were to lose your job, simply because you made a claim, then you would probably have a case for unfair dismissal. If the injuries you have suffered from the workplace accident mean you cannot carry on in the job you are contracted to do, we can make a claim for any losses you suffer as a result of having to move to a different job within the workplace or finding work with a new employer.
