There are a number of common concerns that a person can have when considering making an accident claim against their employer. While it’s perfectly normal to experience these trepidations, they shouldn’t prevent you from seeking the compensation you deserve, following an accident in the workplace. It’s important to have as much information as possible, in order to make an informed a decision as to whether you’d like to make a claim or not. For this reason we’ve prepared a list of frequently asked questions regarding work accident claims, to give you confidence that making a claim won’t be more trouble than it’s worth. Could I lose my job if I make an accident claim against my employer? Many people worry that making a work accident claim could result in them losing their job. Fortunately, there are laws in place to ensure this doesn’t happen. You won’t lose your job if you make a work accident claim. If you’re the victim of an accident you should claim appropriate compensation. If your employer does act inappropriately and terminate your employment, it is possible to claim further compensation for unfair dismissal. Will I receive 100% of the compensation? Yes. If your claim is successful, you will be awarded compensation. During proceedings, your solicitor will negotiate an amount of compensation with the other side. This will cover general damages (pain, suffering, loss of amenity) and special damages (financial losses). Once an amount of compensation has been agreed, you will receive 100% of it. The solicitor’s fee will then be paid by the other side; in this case your employer’s insurance company. What happens if my claim is lost? Even if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not pay anything. This is because the cost of proceedings will be covered by the solicitor’s insurance cover. Are there any hidden costs involved in making a claim? You will not pay anything if you win your claim and you will not pay anything if you lose your claim. http://www.pi-accident-claims.co.uk/
