Should I Claim Against My Employer?

This is an important question – so here’s three reasons why you SHOULD make a claim against your employer for an injury at work.

You’re Covered

Your employer has a legal obligation to have a policy of employer’s liability insurance that covers their employees for injuries at work. It’s nothing personal when you make a claim for an injury at work – you are simply claiming against the insurance your employer has for the sole reason of making a claim from.

It’s similar to contents insurance – you have it in the event your are the victim of theft or damage. It’s there to be used; just like your employer’s liability insurance.

It can cover legal fees too!

It Can Help!

Not only can it help you when it comes to receiving compensation for suffering and recompense for losses such as lost earnings or medical expenses, but it can also help to prevent similar accidents occurring in the future. Insurers will normally do all the investigating and it’s likely they will want to avoid having to pay out to someone else for the same accident. So procedures and standards can improve, which could save someone else being more seriously hurt or worse…

You can also claim for private medical care fees which could aid you in making a faster recovery.

You Have Nothing to Lose – You’re Protected by Law

You cannot be sacked or treated differently for making a claim. If you were, you may have an employment claim to make! But the point is that most employers know the law and many now encourage people to make a claim. Like I said earlier, all you are doing is claiming from insurance that is there to be used!
