No one expects to have an accident at work as is should be a safe place but unfortunately accidents do sometimes happen. It is often hard to know who to turn to for advice and compensation following such an accident.

Compclaim have a friendly Panel of specialist Personal Injury Solicitors who have many years experience in representing employees who have suffered an injury due to their employer’s negligence. Remember it is your employer’s responsibility to ensure the environment and the tasks that employees are asked to perform are carried out in a manner that ensures their safety.

Accidents at work should be avoided and employers have a legal responsibility to provide:

• A safe and secure workplace
• Competent co-workers
• Adequate materials and equipment
• A safe system of work
• Correct training and supervision

If you have been injured or suffered an accident at work you may feel reluctant to make a compensation claim against your employer for fear of victimization or even losing your job.

This should not deter you from making a compensation claim as your employer is legally required to have employer’s liability insurance to cover a claim should an accident happen plus discrimination against you by your employer can lead to further legal action against them.

If you are suffering or have suffered an accident at work you may be entitled to personal injury compensation.

You need to:

• Provide evidence that your employer has caused the injury by his negligent failure to take reasonable care to prevent your injury
• Obtain the names of any witness to the accident and working practices
• Ensure that the accident has been reported and put in the accident book
