You may be worried about how you’ll pay your bills, whether you can return to your job, or how the injury will affect your long-term health. In many cases, workplace accidents are preventable, and if your employer failed to keep you safe, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

An accident at work claim allows an employee to seek compensation if they have been injured because their employer failed to provide a safe working environment. This could include unsafe systems of work, lack of training, faulty equipment, or poor workplace conditions.
Workplace injuries can affect all types of roles and environments, from offices and warehouses to construction sites and factories. Common injuries include back and neck injuries, head injuries, slips and trips, injuries from falling objects, and psychological harm such as work-related trauma.
A successful claim can help cover the cost of medical treatment, lost income, rehabilitation, and the wider impact the injury has had on your life.

Yes, you may still be able to claim even if you were partly responsible. This is known as contributory negligence, and your compensation may be reduced depending on the level of responsibility.
Yes, in most cases, you will need to show that your employer failed in their duty to keep you safe, which led to your injury.
You usually have three years from the date of the accident to start a claim. There are some exceptions, such as industrial diseases or delayed symptoms.
You may still be able to claim, but it can make the process more difficult. We can help you gather alternative evidence, such as medical records and witness statements.
Most accident at work claims are settled without going to court. If court proceedings are needed, we will support you throughout the process.
Claims are usually made against your employer’s insurance, not your employer personally. It is unlawful for you to be treated unfairly for making a claim.
It depends on the severity of your injury, your recovery time, and the financial losses you’ve experienced, such as lost earnings or treatment costs.
