Reluctant to make a claim?

Don’t be. It won’t affect your job and it’s illegal for your employer to dismiss you or take disciplinary action following an accident at work.

Employers owe a duty of care to all their staff and there are lots of strict rules and regulations to try to ensure this. They cover things such as: -

  • Making sure that floors are kept unobstructed and not slippery.
  • Making sure that proper work and safety equipment is supplied and that it is properly maintained.
  • Providing proper training for all its staffing how to operate equipment properly and how to lift weights safely.
  • Making sure that the systems of work are safe such as ensuring that people and vehicles circulate safely.

Some people are reluctant to claim compensation form their employer following an accident as they think that their employer will have to pay out a large cheque and this might affect their job. In fact most employers are required to carry Employers Liability Insurance and it will be the employer’s insurance company who are responsible to pay the compensation.

If an employer were to dismiss or discipline an employee for bringing a claim for compensation following an accident at work he would be acting unlawfully.

What to do if you have an accident at work:

  • Contact us as soon as possible to advise you further. Our initial consultation is always free.
  • Report the accident to your employer and make sure that the details are entered into the Accident Book
  • Get details of any witnesses.
  • Get medical attention 
  • Keep a diary of visits to the doctor and hospital, dates when you had to take a taxi and details of any help that had to be given to you by family or friends in carrying out tasks such as shopping, housework and so on.
  • Keep receipts for all expenses you incur such as taxi fares.

The amount of compensation received depends upon how serious your injuries are and what other losses you have incurred, including:

  • Loss of earnings, including overtime and bonuses
  • Travel to and from medical appointments
  • Any medication
  • Care given by members of your family
  • Damage caused to any of your personal effects

There are many other items, which we will discuss with you. If you are still suffering as a result of your injuries, it is not possible to determine the exact amount of compensation you will receive but our personal injury specialists will advise you based on their considerable expertise and experience. Contact us today to find out how much compensation you may be owed.

The length of time it will take will depend on the circumstances of your case. Once we have carried out initial investigations, we will be in a better position to advise you. An uncomplicated slip or fall can be settled within months, whereas more serious injuries can take longer.
There are rules limiting the time within which an injury claim can be brought. This can vary depending on the circumstances and the country where the accident took place. As a general rule, in this country a person has 3 years from the date when an accident or injury occurred. Where the injured person is a child, the 3-year limitation period does not begin to run until he/she turns 18 years of age. If you are unsure about the limitation period in your case you should contact your solicitor
Don't let the concern about going to court put you off obtaining compensation. If you decide to instruct SPACE to handle your case, we will make every effort to resolve your case as quickly as possible and to recover the maximum amount of compensation for you. As the details and complexities of each case vary, a court case is sometimes inevitable. However, the vast majority of claims settle without going to court.
No. Most information is obtained at the first meeting/consultation. From there, you will generally be contacted by telephone, at times to suit you, although we may ask you to attend a medical examination so that we can obtain a report on your injuries to assess the value of your claim, and recommendations for treatment.
Complete our short enquiry form and we’ll call you right back, or contact one of our specialist solicitors today for more advice on 0845 050 6942 (local rates) and speak to an experienced solicitor who can help you with your claim.
