Each year, over a hundred and fifty thousand people are injured through in a workplace accident, which results in them being off work for 3 days or more. There are many more people who suffer less serious injuries at work and may need a compensation claims specialist to help them recover any damages they are due. If it can be proven that your workplace injury was another person’s fault even if it’s your employer, a colleague or even a different company carrying out a job at your workplace - you are entitled to make an accident compensation for your accident at work. It is required by law that Employers provide their staff with a healthy and safe environment to work in. This means undertaking an assessment of the risks that exist in the workplace, as well as providing training and work equipment to ensure that each employee is able to carry out their job in a safe manner and in a safe workplace. Health and Safety legislation during the past few years has significantly increased the level of safety and protection for employees at work. There are now laws intended to prevent accidents in the workplace that cover most working environments. If you have been injured by a workplace accident you could well be entitled to pursue a compensation claim. The relevant Health and Safety officials may also be asked to undertake an investigation of the accident to ensure there has been no breach of health and safety regulations that are in place to protect employees in the workplace.
