Accident at work
More about an accident at work and if you can claim compensation....Remember we are professional personal injury solicitors and work on a no win no fee basis…
While you are in your employer’s premises or undertaking work on behalf of your employer, they are responsible for your safety. The environment in which you work, and the equipment with which you are provided has to be safe and hazard free. Your fellow employees have to work in a way that does not cause you injury. The amount and nature of the work that you are given should not cause you to suffer an injury.
Your employer is also responsible for ensuring that you receive full health and safety training so that you can undertake your job without injury to yourself or other people. For example, if you injure your hand in a piece of machinery because you weren’t taught how to undertake the task properly, then it’s your employers fault and not your responsibility. If you are injured through an accident at work and decide to make a claim then your claim will be against your employers insurance company. All employers are required by the law to provide insurance against claims by employees.
