An employer has a duty to protect his employees and provide them with the Health and Safety issues that affect the employee. Employers are under an obligation to report accident and incidents.

Accident at work claim can be made where one suffered an injury and it is the employers fault that the injury was caused. Claims for accident at work should be made within 3 years of the date of the accident.

Accidents at work should be recorded in the employer's 'accident work book'.

To make an accident at work claim, evidence is needed to prove that the injuries are the result of an accident or working practice at the work place.

Accidents or Injuries in the workplace can occur through many hazards. Some typical examples of work accidents include the following:

. Slipped on a wet floor with no warning sign

. Tripped over a cable

. Not been provided with protective equipment

. Had a road accident whilst delivering goods

. Used unsuitable or faulty equipment provided by the employer

. Had to lift heavy objects which caused an injury

. Been provided with inadequate training

. Been injured as a result of mistakes made by other employees

Injuries sustained from work accidents may mean you have to take time off work to recover which can lead to financial difficulties. Making a work accident compensation claim will help ease the financial burden and also provide you with treatment to enable a full recovery.
