ACCIDENT AT WORK CLAIM FORM
If you have been injured in the workplace you should complete an accident at work claim form as soon as possible. This may involve personally recording it in the report book which employers are obliged by law to keep or may involve seeing a solicitor who will report the matter on your behalf by way of a formal letter of claim to the employers.
When accidents happen in the workplace they are often unavoidable, but this isnt to say that many could not have been prevented! Your place of work must be secure and safe and your employer has a duty of care to you and all the other people who work with you. If you have been injured it is to your advantage to have the incident recorded as soon as possible by completing an accident at work claim form or by an entry in the accident book.
Its not just UK law that protects you against accidents
and injuries at work. European law also stipulates that
employers have to properly protect their employees and workers
from accidents and potential dangers at work. Your employer
must give you proper training about how to use any potentially
dangerous equipment and what to do in the event of an emergency.
In addition all employers must keep a record of all incidents which is available for inspection by the relevant authorities.
Whilst this is not a formal accident at work claim form,
it is evidence of a dangerous occurrence and may be used
as evidence in legal proceedings.
Claiming for compensation at work can be very easy. With the right legal expert beside you the hard work is taken care of. Often you need not even visit court, as the employer will accept liability for what happened and therefore you are paid compensation from their insurers as an out of court settlement.
There may be potential complications with any legal case and trusting someone who is not a trained specialist to do your legal work is not a prudent decision to make. The high street solicitor may be an excellent family lawyer but is he a personal injury specialist?
