Work Accident Compensation
Your Entitlement to Work Accident Compensation
If you have had an accident in the workplace resulting in an injury whether serious or minor, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Every employer is obliged to take out Employers Liability Insurance to cover their potential liability for your compensation and for any legal costs associated with it. The negligence or breach of statutory duty by your employer for the negligence or even the deliberate act of another employee will usually give rise to liability under the policy taken out in your employer's name.
Making an Accident at Work Claim
Our advice would always be to promptly report a work accident to your employers and to secure details of any witnesses or any other evidence that might assist in proving your case. Keep records of all financial losses and all expenses that you incur as a result of your work accident and you should contact a specialist workplace injury solicitor for advice as soon as possible.
We will be able to advise you on how the law protects workers from negligence in the workplace explain Health and Safety legislation which your employers must follow in order to protect you from potential accidents and injuries. This is a specialist area in itself and Carrs Solicitors has over fifteen years experience in winning work accident compensation claims, so we can offer you the benefit of our experience in making a case for compensation for your accident or injury.
In some instances, even where we cannot prove that an employer was negligent; their insurers may still be liable to pay your damages. This is different from other areas of personal injury law which is why it is crucial to speak to a specialist work accident solicitor.
Even if you are partly to blame for the accident, we may still be able to succeed with a claim if another party is primarily to blame, there may be some reduction in the overall level of compensation you receive as a result. For example, if the court decides that your employer was 70% responsible for your work accident and you were 30% responsible, you may only get 70% of the compensation you would have been awarded had your employer been 100% responsible.
