Accidents at work are common and can happen in any workplace. Your employer has a duty to ensure a safe environment by enforcing health and safety procedures. If they fail to do so and you’re injured at work, you can seek compensation.
If you’re in a workplace accident, report it to your employer promptly and document it in an accident book. Collect evidence like photos and detailed reports to support your claim, increasing your chances of a successful outcome.
There are many reasons why employees may experience accidents at work; the most common ones include:
We advise that if you have been involved in any sort of accident at work that was not your fault, no matter what the cause, you may be eligible for compensation.
Finding how much compensation you may get is tough to state without knowing the thorough details of the accident. When enquiring with one of our advisors, they may be able to help determine how much compensation you may get based on the information you provide. However, claims are usually carefully assessed first, with a range of factors being taken into consideration, which determines how much compensation you may get for your injuries.
The amount of compensation claimants will receive is profoundly affected by how severe the accident was, and how much damage the individual has faced.
Things that significantly affect the amount of compensation received, include:
We recommend that these are just the most common things that affect personal injury claims; the list can be truthfully never-ending; our solicitors will be able to identify things that claimants would have never identified if claiming for themselves.
If you would like to start a successful no-win-no-fee claim, we highly advise that you contact one of our experienced personal injury solicitors at Belmont solicitors.
In Scotland, you can claim for up to three years after the work accident has occurred. If you are under the age of 16, this time limit does not apply; your parent or guardian can claim at any point until the age of 16 in Scotland. After the child turns 16, you can claim up to three years from their 16th birthday.
There as some exceptions during which claimants have no time limit to their claim, including where they do not have the mental ability, for example, due to health or mental health issues.
