Accidents in the workplaceinvolve potentially awkward and embarrassing circumstances. Nobody enjoys sustaining an injury after suffering a slip, trip or fall, but experiencing any such accident at work can raise a number of issues that can sometimes convince the victims to avoid makingworkplace injury claims. Employers may even suggest that a potential claimant's job is on the line if they were to pursue workplace accident compensation , for which they may be entitled. There is no easy solution to this problem, however, so potential claimants are advised to follow certain steps before making a claim for compensation after an accident at work.
First, it is necessary for the victim to identify the cause of the injury or illness. Once this has been achieved, it is usually possible to ascertain who might be liable for the incident. In the vast majority of cases, the failings of an employer to ensure that his workplace is reasonably safe and free of risk places liability firmly on his shoulders.
The next step to follow before accidents at work compensation can be pursued is that of gaining evidence to support a potential claim. Photographic evidence is extremely useful if it can help to establish the cause and location of the accident, whilst witness statements are also valuable. It is also necessary toobtain medical evidence from a doctorto support injury claims and details relating to the accident should also be discussed with the employer – a step that is best undertaken in the presence of a union representative or colleague. Finally, the accident victim should contact a personal injury solicitor to discuss the merits of the claim.
