Types of claims

Workplace Injury Claims

Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe and comfortable working environment for their employees. Despite this, accidents in the workplace are extremely common. In the UK 233,000 injuries were reported at work in 2009/10, with 152 fatalities recorded in the workplace.

At Duncan Gibbins our team of solicitors have years of experience in obtaining the best possible settlement for our clients in a wide variety of workplace injury claims; from manual handling claims to the more serious head and spinal injuries caused by falls from height.

Many employees fear the consequences of making a personal injury claim after an accident in their place of work. They should not worry; an employee cannot be dismissed simply for making a claim for personal injury.

All employers are legally obliged to have employer’s liability insurance which covers them in the case of injury or illness suffered by an employee at work. Action can be taken against companies who discriminate against employees because they are making a claim for personal injury.

Your employer has a legal responsibility to:

  • Ensure that all staff are alerted to any potential hazards they may encounter when carrying out their day-to-day responsibilities.
  • Outline the safety procedures designed to protect employees against the potential dangers in the workplace.
  • Provide training for any tasks that involve heavy lifting, repetitive actions or the use of hazardous materials.
  • Ensure that the correct safety equipment is being worn for the job as required.
  • Inform all employees of any evacuation and safety procedures within the company.
  • Provide a safe and comfortable work station on which employees can complete their tasks.
  • Provide sufficient training for all members of staff specific to their role. If your injury is caused by the negligent actions of a work colleague you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Any accident that occurs at work, however small, should be reported.

Reporting an accident will provide evidence that your injury occurred at work should this be required at a later date. Your company is also legally obliged to report any industrial or more serious accidents to the health and safety executive.

Workplace Injury Claims to Assist with Financial Burden

Making a personal injury claim as a result of an accident at work would not only compensate you for any pain and financial loss suffered, it would also ensure that your employers make changes to your working environment to provide a safer place of work for you and your colleagues.

Most people associate work related claims with industrial and warehouse environments. However, accidents at work are not limited to labour intensive occupations and can occur in any place of work including offices, restaurants and retail premises.
