Compensation following an accident at work

You employer has a legal responsibility towards all employees to provide a safe and secure workplace, provide competent co-workers, adequate equipment and proper training and supervision.

Even if the accident was caused by faulty machinery, your employer has a responsibility to ensure that it is safe for you to use and that you have proper training to use it.

Claiming compensation following an accident at work

If you have had an accident at work that wasn’t your fault you are entitled to claim compensation for any injury you have sustained and for any pain and suffering you have been through. Even if your injuries were caused by something a co-worker did or didn’t do, your employer will still be liable.

If you have suffered a serious injury that means you are unable to continue working you can also claim for loss of earnings which can mean you will receive a substantial amount of compensation.

To claim compensation for a work related injury you must provide some evidence that your injuries are the result of an accident or working practice in your place of work. This evidence can be witnesses, an entry in the accident book, similar accidents that have happened in the past, ambulance attendance at the scene and many others.
