If you have suffered an injury at work due to negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Making a personal injury claim against an employer can help cover medical expenses, lost earnings, and rehabilitation costs.
At The Injury Lawyers, we specialise in helping employees secure the compensation they deserve.
Employers have a legal duty to provide a safe working environment for their staff. This includes ensuring proper training, maintaining equipment, and implementing health and safety measures. If your employer fails in their duty and you suffer an injury as a result, you may have the right to file a personal injury claim against an employer.
Understanding Your Rights as an Employee
Common workplace injuries that may qualify for compensation include:
- Slips, trips, and falls due to unsafe working conditions such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or cluttered walkways.
- Injuries from faulty or improperly maintained equipment that could lead to severe physical harm.
- Work-related illnesses caused by exposure to hazardous substances, including respiratory diseases, skin conditions, and long-term health complications.
- Accidents resulting from lack of proper training or supervision, such as incorrect use of machinery or hazardous tools.
- Manual handling injuries, including back strains, muscle damage, and joint pain from lifting heavy objects incorrectly.
These injuries can have serious consequences, affecting both your ability to work and your overall quality of life. Understanding your rights is crucial to ensuring you get the support and compensation you need.
The exact amount of compensation will depend on the severity of your injury and how it has impacted your life. Our team at The Injury Lawyers can work tirelessly to ensure you receive the highest possible settlement.
