Have you suffered an accident at work?
An accident at work can be exceptionally distressing. Most people are dependent on their income, and so any accident that results in time off work can be a big concern. In some cases, people need to leave their job altogether due to an accident. This could mean that you do not have any money coming in to support your family, pay the bills, or deal with any other financial responsibilities you may have. This can be a huge source of worry and sleepless nights, but it does not need to be this way. At AccidentAtWorkClaimsline.co.uk, we can help you to get the compensation you deserve.
How we can help you get compensation
While at work, your employer has a legal responsibility to make sure you are safe and healthy. This includes carrying out risk assessments, ensuring you are provided with the correct equipment for the job, and providing you with the proper training you need to carry out your role.
If you have been injured, and this has been caused because your employer has failed in their duty of care to you, then we can help you get the compensation you deserve. We provide impartial, free, no-obligation advice. This means that you can call us for more information, but you are under no pressure to proceed.
Once you are ready to go ahead with claiming, one of our professional and friendly advisors will be there to help you every step along the way. We will talk you through the claims process, as well as putting you in touch with the best specialist solicitor based on the ins and outs of your claim.
Have you been involved in a serious accident at work?
Serious injuries can sometimes occur due to workplace accidents. This is because, when not maintained correctly, workplaces can give rise to accidents. This can also happen when sufficient training has not been provided.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Have your injuries prevented you from working the same hours or working in the same role?
- Have you taken time off work to recover from your injuries?
- Have you been repeatedly hospitalized for your injuries?
- Are you still receiving medical treatment or seeing a doctor?
If the above applies, you have probably sustained a serious injury. The compensation will help you to get on with your life. In some cases, interim payment can be arranged, helping you to deal with any immediate needs.
The law is in place to protect you
By law, all employers have a duty of care towards the people that work for them. This means they need to take the required steps to ensure the working environment is a safe one. If your employer has not followed The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the other healthy and safety regulations that are in place, then they can be deemed responsible for the injuries you have sustained. This also includes the law that is specific to your industry.
A lot of people are worried that making a claim against their employer could result in them losing their job. But, don’t worry, as there also laws in place to protect you from this too.
