How to claim compensation for an accident at work?Accidents in the workplacecan often prove to be awkward, embarrassing and potentially damaging in both a social and professional context. Whilst a slip, trip or fall in the workplace may seem comical, any such injury can have a devastating effect on the victim; indeed, not only may he or she suffer serious physical injuries but the road to recovery is often complicated by employers who attempt to avoid litigation by applying pressure on injured employees. However, people who are injured at work have every right to make work injury claims in the pursuit of compensation. More complex injuries, such as those caused by repetitive actions or exposure to harmful substances, can be less easy to ascertain. Nevertheless, by discussing symptoms with fellow employees, an injured worker can often uncover the cause of his injuries or illness. Where an accident has occurred that results in injury, the victim should also attend hospital for a full check-up before contacting a personal injury solicitor . |
