Claiming compensation for serious work injuries

You could be entitled to claim compensation for serious work injuries if you have suffered through no fault of your own, and where your employer has been negligent in respect of health and safety legislation. If you have suffered an injury that should have been preventable, it may be the case that your employer is liable in law to compensate you for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. They may also be liable to compensate you for losses and expenses that have been incurred as well, and we can look at both as part of a case.

Some of the losses and expenses elements – known as Special Damages – can actually be the more important thing to consider. It may be the case that you are unable to work for a prolonged period of time, or you may not be able to return to the same employment capacity that you had prior to the injury. Where that is the case, you could be entitled to recover damages for significant losses and expenses for the rest of your life, as it is important to make sure that you are fully compensated.

When it comes to cases of this nature, there are no stones to be left unturned. If we can represent you in a legal case, we may be able to represent you for a claim on a No Win, No Fee basis.

The importance of health and safety legislation in the workplace

The importance of health and safety legislation in the workplace cannot be understated, which is precisely why it is important to avoid serious work injuries in which employees could suffer catastrophic problems for the rest of their lives. Workplace health and safety laws cover basic things to make sure that the environment is safe, but they are also stringent in respect of elements such as work equipment and manual handling activities. The detail is extensive, so we will not go into absolutely every single thing, but the important thing is about making sure that risk assessments are completed to identify and minimise risks and ensure that employees receive training to protect them at all times.

If there has been any failure to prevent serious work injuries from occurring, and the accident or how the injury occurred was preventable, that is when a person could be eligible to claim compensation. There should be very few circumstances in which employees are injured through no fault of their own. If it comes down to a case of negligence on the part of the employer or a colleague, a victim could be entitled to pursue a legal case.

Simply put, health and safety legislation must be followed at all times. Any failure to do so can put employees at risk, which is not fair at all.
