Accident at Work Compensation Claims

If you had an accident at work within the last 3 years and that was not your fault then you may be entitled to claim compensation for a workplace accident.

The workplace you were injured in could be an office, building site, restaurant, warehouse, factory or farm.

No matter what precautions are put in place there is always the possibility of accidents at the workplace. These accidents are often under varying circumstances, but the injuries that are caused can be severe enough to leave an employee unable to work for a few months or indefinitely.

If you have been injured during an accident at work, then you are eligible for an accident at work claim. As specialist personal injury claim solicitors in Manchester, we can tell you how much compensation you can receive for your pain and injuries.

Who is eligible for an accident at work claim?

In the UK, business owners are legally responsible for the safety and welfare of their employees, and even visitors to their premises. UK employers, under law, are required to hold insurance and follow the health and safety regulations that have been issued by the government.

If you’ve been unfortunate enough to get injured in an accident at work, then you are entitled to claim compensation for any injuries that you may have sustained during the accident.

Will making a claim against your employer affect your employment?

Many personal injury claimants are concerned that if they make a claim against their employers, they might disturb the relationship between him/her and the employer or even get sacked.

Legally speaking, your employers cannot terminate your employment based on a personal injury claim. In the event, they do so; you are likely to make a claim for unfair dismissal.

On the other hand, it could be that your relationship with the employer starts to break down and they start making your working life difficult to the extent that you are forced to hand in your resignation. In this case, you will have very strong grounds for constructive dismissal.
