Although employers can take measures to prevent accidents at work, they cannot be totally avoided. Accidents are part of our everyday life, they’re something we’ve all grown up with. When you’re a child you may fall down and graze your knee, cry for a while then carry on playing. However, as an adult, trips and falls can have a much more serious effect.
It is stated that by law every company must have an accident report book, this is where they write each accident that takes place on site. If you become involved in an accident at work you must tell your employer so that they can record it. This way they can hopefully prevent similar accidents from happening in the future.
If you feel that your injury at work is serious and needs medical attention you should see your GP. When telling them of the injury you should mention that it happened at work so that they can then record this.
If the injuries you have suffered caused you pain or made it unable for you to work then you may be entitled to compensation. The best way to go about this is to contact a solicitor, they will then be able to give you advice about the claim, and if you wish to carry the claim forward, they’ll be there to act on your behalf.
