Work
Injury Claim
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA) requires employers
to ensure the health and safety of all employees and anyone
who may be affected by their work.
If you suffer an accident at work (including an act of physical
violence) which results in you being off work for at least
3 days, your employer must report it to the enforcing authority
within 10 days of your accident.
More than a million workers suffer an injury in an accident at
work every year. About a third of these work injuries are
reportable to the Health & Safety Executive or a local
authority.
Accidents at work do happenand your employer has a legal responsibility to hold Employers
Liability Insurance which covers compensation for injury
and loss of earnings of its staff.
If you have suffered a work injury from an accident, minor
or otherwise, you are entitled to damages if you can show
that you were not at fault. Even if a fellow employee caused
your work accident, your employer is liable to pay for any
damages.
An accident at work may entitle you to what's known as a worker's
compensation claim. Typical examples are:
- fractures
- back problems
- shoulder pain, neck pain, headaches
- heart attacks
- hypertension
- wrist injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome)
- burns
Whatever your work injury, if you were not at fault, you should make
a claim.
