ELIGIBILITY –
There are some factors that determine your eligibility to make an injured at work claim.
– If you were injured as a result of any ‘Health And Safety’ procedures not being adhered to.
– Because of a faulty piece of equipment at work.
– If you had an existing injury that was made worse by working conditions.
Employers have a legal duty to keep employees safe at work, meaning they have certain responsibilities including:
– All staff must be properly trained.
– Personal protective equipment suitable for your role must be provided.
– Employers must undertake risk assessments.
– Effort should be made to minimise risk.
– Systems must be in place to protect workers safety.

TIME CONSTRAINTS –
How Long Do You Have To Make An Injury At Work Claim?
Typically, the normal time limit for beginning an ‘injured at work/workplace’ accident claim is three years from the date the injury occurred.
Exceptions can be made when:
– Mental Capacity – if a loved one is deemed to no longer have the mental capacity to make a claim themselves (often as a result of traumatic brain injury), all time limits are removed.
– Working Abroad – if you were injured working abroad the time limits may be shorter.
– Defective Equipment – when an injury is caused by faulty equipment the time limit may be different.
The best course of action is always to speak directly to one of our solicitors as soon as possible after an injury, so they can inform you of your next steps. Call us on 01772494366 today.
FEES –
‘No Win No Fee’
Our Injured At Work team works on a no win no fee basis. This means you have no upfront payments to make, and nothing to pay if your claim is unsuccessful. If you win the case the opposing party will pay the majority of your legal fees, with the balance coming out of your compensation.
