5 Things You Must Do After an Accident at Work
Have you suffered after an accident at work that wasn’t your fault? Employers are responsible for the health and safety of their employees whilst at work. Failure to do so could result in employees making a claim for compensation.
Your employer will have Employer’s Liability Insurance, which will cover the compensation and legal costs if you make a successful claim for your work-related injury, illness or disease.
Our experienced personal injury solicitors outline the steps you should take following the incident and explain how you can start your accident at work claim.
What Must You Do After an Accident at Work?
There are 5 things you must do after an accident at work:
- Report the accident to your employer.
- Record any injuries (including minor injuries) sustained in your employer’s “accident book”.
- Make note of how the accident happened. Take photograph if appropriate.
- If anyone witnessed the accident, take note of their names and contact details.
- If you consider it appropriate, visit your GP or hospital for treatment of your injuries.
