Accident compensation at work is a relatively recent concept. As the government has increased the legal obligations of employers to pursue a more stringent regime for health and safety, accident compensation has become a far more important claim as it not only helps those who are injured but also acts as a statutory check against employers.
If you have suffered an injury at work, then to claim accident compensation successfully, the injury must be a result of the accident. It is a necessity for this to be proven and so there are many ways in doing so, for example, witness statements or evidence of an ambulance attending at the time of the accident is sufficient. The accident must also be logged into the company’s accident book and it is essential for there to be evidence of medical attention. When this has all been proven, the issue of whether the employer is liable would need to be resolved and so it is essential to gain the opinion of an expert accident compensation solicitor.
