Can I Make an Accident at Work Compensation Claim?

You have the right to return home from work unharmed, but if you suffer an injury as a result of the fault / negligence of your employer or a fellow employee, then you have the right to pursue a personal injury claim for an accident at work.

There are many laws and regulations which serve to protect you against accidents at work, and as experts in this area we are best placed to advise you about how these apply to your individual set of circumstances.

Please note, accident at work claims are subject to strict 3-year time limits starting from the date you had the accident or first sustained injury. However, there are some exceptions to this including, but not limited to accidents that occurred whilst working abroad. It is vital that you seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity so we can advise you about your potential claim but also about any relevant time limits.  For further information please read our article covering your rights after an accident at work.

How Much Compensation Can I Claim for an Injury at Work?

How much compensation you can claim after an accident at work depends on a range of different factors. Our personal injury solicitors will consider the severity of your accident, whether you need to take time off work and how long it is likely to take you to recover. They will negotiate a settlement with the party responsible for your injury and secure the compensation you are entitled to. The compensation awarded can help to pay for any private medical care, adaptations to your home and loss of earnings.
