Expert Accident At Work Solicitors

If you’ve been injured at work, you have the right to seek medical treatment, report the accident, receive statutory or contractual sick pay where applicable and pursue compensation if your employer’s negligence caused your injury.

The law protects employees from being dismissed or treated unfairly for making a genuine accident at work claim. If your employer penalises you for bringing a claim, you may have grounds for further legal action. 

As your dedicated accident at work claim solicitors, it is important that you let us know if your employer tries to terminate your employment. We will support you through this process and ensure you are treated fairly and receive the justice owed to you.

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to start an accident at work claim. There are some exceptions, so it’s best to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

In order to prove workplace negligence, you will need to show that your employer breached their duty of care and that this contributed to your injury. Evidence such as workplace records, witness accounts, photographs and health and safety documentation can help establish liability. Any evidence to support your accident at work claim will benefit your case.

Employers have a legal duty to provide a safe working environment which includes carrying out risk assessments, providing appropriate training and equipment, maintaining safe systems of work and complying with health and safety regulations. If your employer has failed to uphold workplace safety standards and an accident has occurred resulting in harm, then you may be able to claim workplace compensation.

Working in a high-risk industry does not remove your employer’s responsibility to keep you safe and provide adequate training. If your injury was caused by workplace negligence, you may still be entitled to compensation.

Workplace accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, including fractures, back and neck injuries, repetitive strain injuries, burns, head injuries and psychological injuries such as stress or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). No matter what the injury, mental or physical, you may be entitled if workplace negligence has occurred.

Whether you continue earning a wage depends on your employment contract and the circumstances of the accident at work. You may be entitled to statutory sick pay, contractual sick pay or other employment benefits while you are unable to work. We can review your workplace contracts to see what you are owed.

The amount of compensation you can receive will depend on factors such as the severity of your injury, its impact on your daily life, your financial losses and any ongoing treatment or care requirements. When you have your initial call with Satchell we will gather context to better understand your situation and whether you have a viable claim. We can then advise on how much accident at work compensation you may be entitled to.

Every accident at work claim is different. Straightforward cases may settle within a few months, while more complex claims can take longer. Your dedicated team at Satchell Moran will work proactively to progress your claim as soon as possible.
