Injury

In the interests of avoiding injuries to the workforce employers have a legal duty to take as much care as is reasonable to look after the health and safety of employees. A workplace accident compensation claim can be made if an employee has suffered personal injury in an accident caused by negligence. Employers are required to be insured by law for such eventualities under a policy of ‘employer’s liability insurance’.

There are certain circumstances where it is not necessary to prove that an employer has been negligent in order to make a workplace accident compensation claim as, in some cases an employer is absolutely liable for acts or omissions, whether there was evidence of negligence or not. To claim for compensation for an injury in which negligence need not be proven, an employer must be shown to be in breach of ‘statutory duty’. In these cases, a successful claim can be made on the basis that an employer is absolutely liable for injuries suffered because they have been in breach of relevant regulations. This form of claim can often succeed where a claim involving proof of negligence may not.

By law an employer should ensure you are working with able co-workers, using adequate materials and systems and that you receive correct training and supervision. If an employer fails to do so, in the event of personal injury, they are liable to pay a workplace accident compensation claim settlement.

In practice such an injury may involve a co-worker making a mistake or may be due to dangerous, unmaintained or inadequate equipment, machinery, premises or working practices. Insufficient training or supervision or inadequate safety equipment or clothing may also make an employer liable as a consequence of their breach of regulations.
