Can I make a Work Accident Claim?

If you have suffered because of an accident at work, you may be able to claim if you can prove that your employer was responsible for causing the accident. All employers have a duty of care to protect their employees form harm and must take adequate steps to keep their staff safe. Your employer is legally required to:

• Carry out regular risk assessments to identify potential hazards in the work place and formulate a means of reducing risk.
• Ensure staff are suitably trained to carry out their tasks. This could involve making sure that all employees who are required to lift items are enrolled on suitable manual handling courses.
• Provide staff with relevant PPE equipment, such as steel-capped work boots, hi-vis jackets and goggles.

If you have suffered as a result of your employer’s negligence and failure to carry out the required health and safety duties, you may be able to make a claim.
