Workplace injury claims

Incidents leading to injury at work happen in a variety of ways. Falls from height, limbs becoming trapped, slips and trips can also cause serious injury.

It is the legal responsibility of every employer to ensure that the risk of injury is reduced to the lowest practicable level.

Risk assessments are a key method by which employers should identify risks and react by implementing safety procedures, training, and where necessary, safeguards.

Making a claim

Should you sustain an injury at work, it is essential that you do all that you can to preserve evidence. If you are able to, it is recommended that you:

• take photographs,

• record the names of any witnesses, and

• make sure the incident is recorded in the accident book (if there is one).

Always seek medical attention and report to the First Aider within the premises. Seek treatment at hospital if your injuries warrant it and make sure that the hospital clearly record how you sustained your injury. This might prove crucial later should you decide to commence a claim against your employer.

Be sure to keep a diary detailing your symptoms, recovery, the help and assistance you require and also any expenditure caused by the incident and injury.
