Suffering anaccident at workthat results in injury can be a particularly unpleasant experience – and not merely because an injury has been sustained. The process of claiming for workplace injury compensation can appear somewhat daunting to those who rely on their jobs; in accordance with the popular idiom, it is not generally wise to 'bite the hand that feeds you'.
Nevertheless, the point of bringingworkplace injury claimsagainst employers is important in two key respects: first, it offers injured employees the chance to obtain justice following the negligent acts or omissions of employers; and, second, it helps to create a safer future for generations of workers whose employers know that a failure to abide by their statutory and common law duties of care will hit them where it hurts most: their bottom line.
Workplace accident claimscan be raised by anybody (or their legal representative) who suffers an injury at work that was caused by somebody else. Given the potentially sensitive nature of claiming for accidents at work compensation , injured employees are advised to follow certain steps after their accidents.
First, the employee should note precisely what, when, where, how and why the accident occurred – noting such information down on paper is important in order to preserve an accurate account of the incident. The names and contact details of colleagues who may have witnessed the accident should also be taken. It is also important for the injured worker to obtain a full medical report from a GP or the hospital, before contacting a specialist personal injury solicitor for professional advice.
