Work Related Accident Compensation Claim
Claiming Compensation For Work Related Accidents
An employer or person responsible for the site office where one works has a huge level of legal responsibility for the safety of their employees at work.
In most cases a person who is injured, or suffers illnesses whilst at work, will have a very good prospect of obtaining compensation from the employer, main contractor, or owner of the site / office.
Claims for an accident at work not only require considerable specialist legal knowledge but they must be handled with care and tact as in most cases the other party involved is still the employer.
Therefore this can deter people making a claim, however the employer will normally understand that accidents at work are a common occurrence and the claim would be handled by their insurance company anyway.
Below are a few example of where one can claim for negligence at work:
- Negligent or dangerous acts by another worker.
- Unsafe systems of work.
- Hazardous working conditions.
- Unsafe workplace.
- Lack of proper training.
- Unsafe lifting or handling of heavy/awkward objects.
- Vibrating tools or machinery.
- Repetitive work tasks.
- Lack of proper protective equipment.
- Breach of specialist safety regulations.
- Illnesses resulting from exposure to toxic substances.
- Dermatitis.
- Deafness.
