What is a Work Accident Claim?
Employers have a legal duty of care towards their employees. This means they must take all reasonable steps to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their staff while at work. When an employer fails in this duty and an employee is injured as a result, the employee may have grounds to make a work accident compensation claim.
Work accident claims cover a wide range of incidents including slips, trips and falls in the workplace, injuries caused by faulty equipment or machinery, injuries resulting from inadequate training or safety procedures, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), and industrial diseases such as hearing loss or vibration white finger.
Am I Eligible to Claim?
You may be eligible to make a work accident claim if you were injured within the last three years (the standard limitation period), your injury was caused by someone else's negligence, and you can provide evidence to support your claim.
Even if you were partly responsible for the accident, you may still be able to claim under a principle called contributory negligence — though your compensation may be reduced.
How Much Compensation Could I Receive?
The amount of compensation you may be entitled to will depend on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life and ability to work, any financial losses you have incurred (such as lost earnings or medical expenses), and the long-term prognosis for your recovery.
General damages cover pain, suffering and loss of amenity. Special damages cover financial losses including loss of earnings, medical costs, and travel expenses related to your injury.
