\"\"If you have been injured at work<\/a> through no fault of your own, you may well have a successful claim for compensation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your employers have an important duty to ensure that your health and safety is maintained at all times<\/em><\/strong> whilst you are at work, and there are a number of rules and regulations that they must abide by. If your accident and \/ or injuries were caused because your employers failed in this important duty of care that they have for you, their insurance should cover you and compensate you<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So \u2013 how do you make a work accident claim, and what does it entail?
\n
\nYour employers have a legal responsibility to have a policy of Employers Liability Insurance<\/em><\/strong>. This mandatory insurance is designed for employees to claim for suffering and loss if they ever end up injured at work through no fault of their own. \u00a0All we need to do is make sure that your accident and injuries are covered by the insurance<\/em><\/strong>. As previously mentioned, if the cause of the accident was due to your employer\u2019s negligence, the insurance should cover you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So, first thing to note is that your employment is not legally at risk through you putting a claim in<\/em><\/strong>, and it doesn\u2019t really cost your employers anything (dependant on the terms of their insurance) as its their insurers that deal with it all. The insurers will investigate the claim, and will ultimately pay out the compensation if settlement is agreed. It is your right to make a claim from the insurance<\/em><\/strong> that exists to claim from \u2013 so don\u2019t ever feel scared or cheeky about doing it<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Claiming from your employer\u2019s liability insurance is a perfectly natural, normal, and common process<\/em><\/strong>. We find that many employers are happy for you to make a claim<\/em><\/strong> from it. Ultimately, it exists for you to claim from<\/em><\/strong>, and at the end of the day, you have been injured and you are suffering due to the negligence of your employers. Legally speaking, there is nothing your employers can do to adversely effect your employment<\/em><\/strong> in any way shape or form; if they did, they would have further trouble on their hands!<\/p>\n
