Claiming for Accidents at Work
Over a million people suffer injuries from accidents at work every year. While some injuries are minor, others can have serious consequences such as time out off work, financial and emotional strain and even permanent disability or death. Hamiltons can assist you in making a claim for workplace accidents and help you get back on track as quickly as possible.
Your right to compensation for accidents at work
The law sets out many rules to protect you from accidents at work and compensate you if you become injured while working. You are entitled to compensation if you can prove that the workplace accident was someone else’s fault - this could be your employer, a fellow employee or another company based at your place of work.
Your employer is not allowed to treat you unfairly or dismiss you for making a workplace accident claim. They are also required by law to have insurance against staff accidents. This means that their insurance company will pay your accident compensation, not your employer.
Eligible workplace accident claims might involve injuries from:
- Unsuitable or damaged equipment
- An unsafe system of work
- Dangerous working practices
- Contact with dangerous materials
- Poor health and safety.
Making a claim for an accident abroad
Accidents and illness abroad can be very complicated, as different countries implement various time limits or restrictions for making claims on accidents. It may also be difficult to get the evidence you need if your accident happened thousands of miles away. It is therefore essential that you get help from a lawyer with experience in accidents abroad.
It's much easier to claim compensation if your accident or injury abroad happened on a holiday booked as part of a package tour. But we may be able to help you even if this wasn’t the case. The sort of accidents abroad you might be able to claim for include:
- Road traffic accidents, whether you’re a passenger, driver or a pedestrian
- Boating accidents
- Cruise ship accidents and illness
- Stomach illnesses
- Food poisoning caused by poor cleanliness, food or water
- Accidents while taking part in sports or leisure activities like diving or skiing
- Accidents while on an excursion
- Accidents while in a hotel or resort, such as a trip, slip or fall round the pool or on slippery or uneven surfaces
- Accidents while in your hotel room.
