An accident at work can have consequences that extend well beyond the workplace. An injury may mean time away from your job, loss of earnings, treatment or rehabilitation, and uncertainty about whether you will be able to return to the same role.
At Injury Support Services, we provide expert advice and support following workplace accidents. This includes helping you understand whether you may have grounds for a compensation claim and what other support may be available to you.
Employers have responsibilities for the health and safety of their employees, including taking reasonable steps to manage workplace risks. Where an injury has been caused by failures in workplace safety, you may be able to pursue compensation.
Why contact Injury Support Services?
Specialist legal support
Our in-house team includes legal specialists alongside experienced nursing and medical professionals with many years of combined clinical experience. This means we can consider both the legal aspects of your potential claim and the nature and impact of your injuries from an early stage.
Where appropriate, we can connect you with a specialist solicitor from our trusted legal panel with experience relevant to your circumstances.
Clear advice about your options
We consider how the accident occurred, the work you were carrying out, the nature of your injuries and the effect they have had on your employment, finances and everyday life.
This initial assessment can help establish whether there may be grounds for a claim and explain the options available to you.
Support beyond the claim
Could you make an accident at work claim?
You may be able to make a claim where an accident or injury was caused wholly or partly by failures in workplace safety.
This could include accidents involving:
- slips, trips or falls at work
- falls from height
- unsafe or defective machinery and equipment
- lifting or manual handling
- falling objects
- vehicles or moving equipment
- inadequate training or supervision
- unsafe working practices
- exposure to hazardous substances
- inadequate protective equipment
The circumstances are not always straightforward. An accident does not automatically mean your employer was legally responsible, but if you are unsure why it happened or whether appropriate safety measures were in place, it can still be worth seeking specialist advice.
What could compensation cover?
Every claim is different, but compensation may take account of:
- your injuries, pain and suffering
- loss of earnings, including future earnings where relevant
- medical treatment and rehabilitation
- care and assistance
- travel and other expenses
- adaptations or equipment required because of your injury
- the longer-term effect on your ability to work and your everyday life
A specialist solicitor can assess the full impact of the accident and explain what may be included within your claim.
Worried about making a claim against your employer?
It is understandable to have concerns about bringing a claim when you still work for the organisation involved.
In most cases, employers are required to hold Employers’ Liability insurance to cover compensation where an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of their work.
A specialist solicitor can explain how a claim would be handled and answer any concerns you have before you decide whether you want to proceed.
