Health and safety at work has become an industry in itself. Over the last 20 years there have been numerous important pieces of legislation and regulations that have imposed ever increasing standards of care upon employers and in many areas have imposed strict liability.
Any accident at work, however minor the injury, must be reported to the appropriate Line Manager and recorded in the Accident Book.
Many employees who have suffered injury whilst at work do not make a claim as they believe that the accident is their own fault. Invariably the accident has been caused by a failure on the part of the employer to properly assess the task involved or provide adequate training to the employee.
MK Legal provide a FREE telephone advice service which will provide a quick assessment of the accident circumstances and give an indication of whether the injured employee has a right to compensation. Although many employees have the benefit of union representation, an increasing number of employees opt out of union membership and we can provide this initial advice to employees who do not have the support of their union.
Presenting an injury claim against your employer can be a difficult experience and our team will provide the support and guidance that will help you enforce your right to compensation.
If you have had an accident at work as a result of:
- a simple trip
- unguarded or poorly maintained machinery
- inadequate training
- failure to carry out risk assessment
- repetitive strain injury
- failure to supply adequate safety equipment and clothing
