Accidents at Work

Your injuries may have been relatively minor, serious or you may have had to face a loved one losing their life after an accident at work. Whatever the circumstances of your accident at work we can help you.

Your employer is required by law to ensure that you are kept safe whilst you are at work and as a result if you have an accident at work and your employer is responsible, then you are entitled to make a claim for your injuries. We understand that you will be hurt, upset and worried about your job, but making a claim for compensation against your employer does not mean that your job is at risk, as your employer is not able to dismiss you for claiming compensation as a result of your accident.

  • Have you had a work accident? You may have suffered injury because, your employer wasn’t complying with health and safety regulations
  • Or because a fellow employee made a mistake
  • Or because an outside contractor was careless (i.e. a building accident)
  • Or because you were provided with defective equipment

If we can show that the accident was your employer’s fault or happened in the circumstances above we can claim from insurers.
