Accidents At Work

	You can claim even if you are partly to blame If you have suffered an accident or injury at work you can claim compensation from your employers or their insurers even if you may have been partly responsible for the accident. It is best to obtain legal advice and that is where we come in because we will refer your case to a specialist accident at work solicitor who will have the knowledge and experience in being able to guide you in making a claim for the maximum compensation in a minimum period of time.
	By contacting us, we will guide you You should contact us as soon as possible after an accident so that we can help you gather critical evidence that might not be available if you leave matters in abeyance for some time.
	When you contact us we shall advise you 1. What you must do immediately Your injury needs to be recorded in your employers Accident Report book and if your employer is a small business with less than 10 employees we need to advise your employer in writing as to the details of the accident and witnesses. We can help you do this immediately you instruct us. 2. Witnesses help your case If there are witnesses it is important to take their full name and address and then witness statements can be obtained from them. 3. Accident circumstances should be accurate You need to write down as soon as possible after the accident exactly what happened and explain this in the most simple terms and again we can help you prepare this as well. 4. Seeking medical treatment also helps your case From an evidential point of view, if you have had an accident at work and suffered an injury you may of course have attended hospital and received treatment. If you did not go to hospital because the injury was not so severe that you needed emergency treatment it is still advisable to go to your GP so that details of the accident are recorded on your GP records and furthermore your own GP may well wish to treat you for your injuries. If you do not go to your GP this could go against you later on when it comes to your Solicitor maximising your claim for compensation for the injury. 5. Let’s sort out your loss of earnings If you are unable to work because of the accident, you will need to ensure that you are paid by your employer for the period of time that you are off work and if they will not pay you the time, then we will assist you in submitting the appropriate details of your losses to your Solicitors who will be able to include it in your claim for compensation. In addition, it is important that you have some money coming in if you are off work and we can guide you in terms of obtaining sickness benefit or statutory sick pay. 6. Liability – Let your solicitor fight it out With regards to liability it is not always obvious who is to blame and dependant upon the accident circumstances where appropriate we shall advise you to take photographs of any areas that may help in resolving the issue of liability. If for example you are working on a machine where the guard had been removed, obtaining photographs of that machinery without the guard will be vital evidence in establishing the employer to be 100% liable. If you have tripped on an exposed electrical cable (that should have been covered up or better protected) then photographs of that area again will help on liability. We can arrange to take those photographs or guide you to take them so that when the claim is referred to one of our specialist work accident Solicitors, they will be in a far better position to advise you on liability. 7. Has this type of accident happened before Finally, it is important to obtain evidence either from your employers or other work colleagues as to whether there had been previous accidents of a similar nature at your employers which again we can help you in gathering the evidence.
	DO IT NOW! CLAIM NOW! On the basis that you have had an accident at work and you wish to submit a claim we would advise you to do so straight away because the sooner you submit the claim the sooner you will obtain your compensation.
	The Health and Safety Regulations work for you Obviously, your employer is under an obligation at law in respect of health and safety regulations and other legislation to provide you with a safe place to work and that also includes showing that your co-workers are doing their job properly and if a co-worker is responsible for causing your accident, for example, they may have been intoxicated through drink or drugs, then again your employer is responsible to you even though they may not have known about your co-workers drink/drugs problem. After all, this is why your employer carries employers liability insurance.
	Breach of regulations makes your claim The obligation on employers to carry out regular health and safety assessments and risk assessment is enormous and if they fail to do this or implement adequate safety measure or provide the appropriate equipment and/or training, then your employer will be liable for any injuries and losses that you have suffered as a result of their failure to carry out their legal obligations.
