Although employers take precautions to prevent accidents at work, some accidents unfortunately are unpreventable. It may be that an employee forgets to put a type of equipment away or someone spilled something causing you to slip, that a piece of equipment you were using failed, or that you were given the wrong type of equipment to carry out your job.
Whatever the reason you shouldn’t become injured due to the negligence of another. If you have been injured at work then you should immediately inform your employer, or the person responsible for health and safety at work. They should then fill in an accident form, taking down all the details of the accident. After doing this it is important that you seek medical attention to get any possible injuries checked out. Some injuries such as whiplash may not become apparent straight away, they often take a few days to make themselves known.
If you have been involved in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault and you suffered injuries due to this then you may be able to make a claim for injury compensation. Because all compensation claims have a three year time limit it is best to do this sooner rather than later.
