Liability for loss of limb injuries at work

Your employer could be liable to compensate you for loss of limb injuries at work if the incident has arisen from some form of negligence. Health and safety rules and regulations in England and Wales are very stringent, and are there to make sure that employees are protected as much as possible in the workplace.

From basic health and safety in making sure that the working environment is safe, to ensuring that employees can safely use equipment that is maintained and in an efficient working order, to also making sure personal protective equipment is provided, there are lots that must be done by employers. In fact, failing to do so can constitute a breach of health and safety legislation. If someone is injured in the line of duty as a result of an incident, that is when you could be eligible to claim personal injury compensation.

In short, where there has been a breach, your employer could be negligent for loss of limb injuries at work. Really, given how significant these kinds of injuries are, there should be no circumstances in which they could take place, so there can be a likely chance that some form of negligence could be established. However, do not be surprised if your employer (via their insurance company) attempts to defend the case, particularly one of this nature. They know that they could be facing substantial compensation pay-outs, and we will touch more on instructing the right legal experts below.

In terms of a claim for personal injury compensation, you could be eligible to pursue your employer via their insurance company for damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. If any losses and expenses have also been incurred, these can be considered, and they are quite likely in a claim of this nature. You may be unable to work in the same capacity as you had prior to the accident, so any losses in that regard could be considered.
