Work Accident Claims have been awarded to thousands of employees in the UK every year, ranging from minor cuts or bruises to serious injuries and fatalities. Where an injury is caused by negligence on the part of an employer or fellow employee at your place of work, the injured person is likely to have a legal right to compensation.
All employers have a duty to protect their workers from injury or disease by, amongst other things:
Providing safe systems of work
Providing safe premises
Providing plant, tools and equipment which are safe, properly maintained and suitable for the job
Providing competent employees
Providing adequate and appropriate personal equipment eg. goggles, ear protectors, gloves, hard hats, masks
Providing adequate and proper supervision and training
Work Accident Claims may be brought against an employer for breach of statutory or Common Law duty or, frequently, both. A breach of statutory duty may also result in a fine whether or not an accident results.
