Compensation For Injuries At Work

Compensation amounts vary hugely, depending on your personal situation and the way in which your injuries have impacted your life. This makes it very difficult to give general advice as to how much you might expect to receive. There are some general principles, however, which can help to be aware of.

Compensation claims can be thought of in two parts. The first part is to compensate you (as far as this is possible) for the pain and suffering that you have endured. This is done via guidelines produced by the Judicial College (a governing body) which set ranges of payments that should be expected for each specific injury. These ranges can be very broad, making it hard to know where in this range your personal experience is likely to fall. Our years of experience allow us to give you a more accurate estimation, based on the precise nature of your injuries.

Your compensation claim will also include an amount based on the impact that your injury at work has had on your life. This is designed to make sure that you do not lose out financially as a result of your injury at work. This can include the cost of any medical treatment that you may have had to pay for privately, for example if there is a long delay to access physiotherapy via the NHS you can be reimbursed for this if you pay privately. If you are unable to work during your recovery, you can also apply for money to compensate you for the money you would have earned had you still been able to work. If your injuries are very serious, you may be able to claim for any modifications you need to your home or vehicle to make sure that you are able to continue to live the life you want.

It can be difficult to be sure that you are claiming everything that you are entitled to. Our expert injury at work claims solicitors have years of experience making sure that you are claiming for everything you deserve, giving you the best possible compensation claim to help you get your life back on track following your injury at work.

How Long Will It Take To Receive My Compensation As A Result Of My Injury At Work Claim?

How long an injury at work compensation claim takes to complete depends on the nature of the case itself. We understand that you want your claim resolved as quickly as possible, and we work tirelessly to get you the compensation you need to put your injury at work behind you.

At the very fastest, cases can be resolved in just a few months, and some can even take just a matter of weeks. For a case to be settled this quickly, the other side will have accepted liability very quickly, without the need for lengthy investigations and evidence-gathering. They will usually be claims for smaller amounts of money, and so associated with less severe injuries. With less money at stake, the other side is less likely to consider it worth their while to string out the negotiations to encourage you to accept a lower offer.

Personal injury compensation claims which take longer to be resolved tend to be the very complicated ones. This could be because the injuries involved are very serious, requiring lots of evidence and testimony to understand the appropriate amount of compensation. Alternatively, it could be because the other person refuses to accept liability, or liability is shared between multiple parties. Complicated claims like these will usually take far longer to be resolved.

The first thing we, as your solicitors, need to do is notify the other person that you are making an injury at work compensation claim against them. We ask them to accept that they were at fault and we give them a deadline by which they must respond.

If your employer does not accept that they are to blame for your accident, we will set about proving this. We might request evidence from you, if you have any available, and we may also seek out other forms of evidence ourselves, such as taking photographs or seeking expert testimony. Accidents at work almost always result in the employer admitting liability.

As soon as liability has been agreed, it is time to decide how much compensation should be paid out. This is agreed through a process of negotiation. Throughout these negotiations, you remain in full control. We will inform you of every offer that is made, and give you our expert opinion as to whether the offer is fair or not, given the exact circumstances surrounding your accident. This means that you can be sure that the offer you accept is reasonable and fair, given your specific injuries and the way in which your injuries have impacted your life.

Sometimes, claims will have to go to court to be judged, rather than being settled in the process described above. This is very rare, but it happens if the other person refuses to accept that they were responsible for your accident, or if it is not possible to agree on a fair amount of compensation. If this happens in your case, we will be with you throughout the process, making it as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

What Do I Need To Know To Make An Injury At Work Claim?

Many people who have suffered an injury at work, just like you, are not sure whether they are entitled to claim for compensation. Making an injury at work compensation claim is easy, and if the following requirements are fulfilled, you are entitled to compensation for what has happened to you.

The first essential feature of an injury at work compensation claim is that you must have experienced an injury at work and that you must have suffered an injury. You are not able to make a compensation claim if you have not experienced any negative consequences. You are able to claim if you trip over some cracked paving and hurt yourself, but you are not able to claim if you stumble slightly over the same paving slab but do not injure yourself.

In order to make a compensation claim, you must also be able to demonstrate that there was someone else who was at fault in your injury at work. They do not have to have caused the injury at work directly, and they don’t even need to have been present. The important thing is that they had a responsibility to make sure that you were safe. In the workplace, your employer has this legal duty of care, meaning that almost all accidents at work fulfil this criteria.

The person responsible for your injury at work must also have been in a position to foresee what happened to you. This is not the same as them actually knowing that it would happen, but what happened must be something that they could have predicted, if they had thought about health and safety matters seriously enough.

The last part of the requirements for making an injury at work compensation claim is whether the other party took sufficient action to help improve the situation. Even if they did put some measures in place to improve the health and safety situation, you are still able to make a claim if these were not sufficient.

If you are considering an injury at work compensation claim, our dedicated team of personal injury claims solicitors want to help you get the payment you deserve. There’s no need to wait. Call us or claim online today. We’re available 24/7 to give you the help and advice you need.

What Steps Should I Take Following My Injury At Work?

Many of our clients ask us for advice as to what they should in the period immediately following an injury at work. It should go without saying that your first priority must always be to make sure that you are safe from any further harm and also that you have all the medical help you need. Once this has been done, there are several things you can try to do that might help support any eventual injury at work compensation claim.

It is vital that you have a clear and consistent memory of what happened before, during and after your injury at work. This means that we need to have as many details as possible. Because you never know what the person who was responsible for your injury at work is likely to say in their defence, you will want to have all the details to hand, even ones that may seem irrelevant. In order to help you with this. We advise that you write down everything you can remember, as soon as possible after your injury at work. This should include all details that you think are relevant, especially focusing on anything that made your injury at work more likely.

The next thing to think about is whether you are able to contact any of the witnesses to your injury at work. If possible, you should have a list of names and contact details of anyone who saw what happened and anyone who can support your belief as to who was responsible for your injury at work. You can ask them to write down what they remember if you wish, but we are happy to do this for you if you prefer.

Photographs or videos of the place where your injury at work happened can also be very helpful, especially if you are able to highlight anything that made the area unsafe and made your injury at work more likely. Obviously, it is essential that you are careful when trying to obtain pictures and that you don’t put yourself at risk to get them.

Although these steps can provide additional supporting evidence for your injury at work compensation claim, they are not essential and it is perfectly possible to make a successful claim even if you have not been able to do any of them. The most important step is to make sure that you call us or claim online today. Taking this one simple step will allow you to get the expert legal advice you need from our experienced team of expert injury at work claims specialists.
