Workplace injuries can occur in various environments, from offices, schools, hospitals, and supermarkets to traditionally dangerous workplaces like construction sites, oil rigs, and factories. If you've suffered a workplace injury, you could be entitled to make a compensation claim against your employer, who has a duty of care to ensure your safety.

Accident at Work Compensation: Can I Claim?

To comply with the duty of care, employers must provide necessary safety tools, appropriate training, and report accidents and near misses. Serious accidents should be reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Work Injury Claims: Types of Accident

Accidents in the workplace can include injuries caused by machinery, repetitive strain injury (RSI), assault by customers, slips, trips, and falls. Compensation depends on the injury's seriousness, aligned with government guidelines and case law.

In addition to compensation for physical injuries, you can claim for psychological injuries and other losses, including medical expenses, travel expenses, care costs, alterations to the home, and loss of income.

If you want to make a workplace injury compensation claim, speak to our personal injury solicitors** in Bristol. Ensure you instruct them within three years of the accident, as any claim outside this time may require special permission from the court.
