Accidents at work
Claim for accidents at work: It can be worrying if you have to take time off from your job because of an accident at work. It can cause financial difficulties not to mention the stress of having to deal with solicitors, possible court appearances and legal procedures that seem to be complicated, intimidating and expensive. But, since the introduction of the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) employers have the legal responsibility to protect their employees from the risks they face at work. If you have been injured in an incident at work, you may be entitled to compensation if it is found that your employer did not do enough to protect you from the risks.
Examples of accidents at work
- Tripping over electrical cables
- Being injured by faulty equipment
- Items falling from a height
- Inadequate training for lifting heavy objects
- Injuries on the job site
