How do I win my work accident claim?
In assessing whether you have a work accident claim, we consider the duties placed on employers in relation to their employees' health and safety at work. If you are injured as a result of your employer's lack of care, you may be entitled to bring a work accident claim. See more detail about what must be proved in order to bring a successful work accident claim.
In order to bring a successful work accident claim you must prove that:-
- You are an employee/sub contractor of the company or person who injured you - this is not as easy as it sounds for some people, especially if you are employed through an agency.
- You suffered an injury - this may be complicated if the work accident has aggravated a pre-existing medical problem rather than caused an entirely new condition.
- There was a breach of duty - our specialist personal injury team have up to the minute knowledge of all relevant legislation and court rulings and will be able provide you with advice about this.
- Your injury arises from the work accident.
- You are not statute barred from bringing a work accident claim. This means you must prove that the circumstances that gave rise to your work accident claim occurred less than 3 years ago, although there are exceptions to this rule which our specialist personal injury solicitors can discuss with you.
