The Injury Central

By law all employers should have an Employer’s Liability Insurance so that in the case of an accident taking place a compensation claim can be made against that policy. Should you be involved in an accident at you place of work you are in your perfect right to fill out a compensation claims form for personal injury stating the negligence of the part of your employer.

In order to carry out a compensation claim you must be able to prove that the accident took place as a result of negligence on the part of someone else or at the very least that someone else is partially to blame for the mishap. Many claims go by without procedure as the victim is either too scared to follow through for fear of being sacked or feels that the pursuit of a claim could put them in a discriminatory position in the future should they continue to work for the same employer.

All employers have a basic duty to provide a safe working environment and that all equipment and machinery is in top working order and condition. Failure to do so provides the foundations for a strong legal compensation claim and the right for the victim to sue.

The most common accidents that take place in the work place are generally as a result of heavy lifting and injury, lack of protective equipment and from a slip, trip or fall. If you have any of these happen to you then you are in a legally correct position to make a claim for compensation to claim for the damages and personal injuries caused to your person.
