Accidents At Work Claims Legal Services
You go to work to help your employer's business - in return, they have to provide you with a safe place to work, safe equipment and reasonably competent colleagues. If your employer fails on any of these, leading to you suffering an injury, there is a potential claim for compensation. You can claim compensation for a work accident injury whether you were working as a full time or part time employee, a temporary worker, a self-employed contractor or if you were just visiting a business at the time of the accident. By law, employers are required to have valid 'Employers Liability' insurance cover to protect people from workplace accidents. In most work accident claims the case for compensation is brought against the Employers' Liability insurance company, and not the employer. Depending on the nature of your work and your contract, you may not be entitled to receive your full wage if you need time off to recover. We can advise you on the steps to take not only in dealing with finances whilst you are off, but also in getting the treatment you need to get back on your feet and how to deal with your boss. It doesn't matter if you are full-time, part-time, temporary or zero-hours - speak to us to discuss what we can do for you.
