I’ve had an accident at work. Can I claim?

It is common for some workplaces to be dangerous to a certain extent based on the nature of the job, this is why there are now strict Health & Safety regulations in place. These regulations govern everything from how needles are disposed of in hospitals to who is authorised to construct scaffolding on building sites.

Unfortunately, with some employers, safe working practices aren’t always followed and safety equipment isn’t always up to the required standards. In these cases, accidents can and do happen, This often leaves workers with serious injuries or illnesses that at no fault of their own, can lead to loss of earnings, and sometimes even loss of life. This is where Gowing Law can get you the compensation you deserve.

Examples of workplace accidents could include:

• Incorrect work practices
• Inadequate supervision
• Inadequate training
• Hit by a moving vehicle
• Slip, Trip or Fall
• Falling from Height
• Struck by Falling Item
• Broken/Faulty Equipment

How much will it cost me to claim?

At Gowing Law the majority of road traffic accident claims are processed on a No Win No Fee basis. For a No Win No Fee claim, you don’t need to worry about anything as we will bare all upfront costs, and you will only need to pay a fee if your claim is successful, this means you will never be out of pocket.

What am I eligible to claim for?

You’re eligible to claim for loss of earnings, medical expenses, injuries sustained and long term loss of enjoyment. However, your eligibility depends on meeting the following criteria

• You must have sustained an injury in the accident at work
• Your injury must be as a result of negligence by your employer
• The accident has to have taken place in the last 3 years (although minors can claim from three years after their 18th birthday)

Is my employer responsible for my accident at work?

Even if your accident was caused by a colleague’s actions or negligence, your employer is ultimately responsible for keeping you from harm in the workplace. That shouldn’t put you off from making a compensation claim for an accident at work. Every employer, by law, has to have employers’ liability insurance, to make sure they can pay compensation for any accidents at work that result in illness or injury, without it affecting the firm financially.

What is my claim worth?

The amount of compensation that you’re entitled to can vary significantly in relation to the injuries that you have sustained. At Gowing Law we’re specialists in getting you the maximum compensation for all types of injuries, from minor injuries to vastly more serious injuries.

• Written Admission of liability
