Are Work Injury Claims Increasing in UK?

No work place is accident-proof. Despite of strict health and safety laws, daily accidents are occurring at different work places in England. We receive large number of work injury claims at ABS Law. This not only shows the increasing number of accidents but also that people in United Kingdom are now becoming aware that they have a right to get compensation for work accidents, injuries, sufferings and financial losses.

Not all Work Injury Claims are Successful

Some people think that all work injury claims are successful, but the fact is that claims win compensation, only, if:

• Work injury claims are made within the limitation period
• Accident or personal injury does not involve any fault or responsibility of the claimant
• The claimant does not tell any lie or submit fake reports and evidences
• Incident occurred during the absence  of the employer
• The accident occurred within England
• The victim is a UK resident and is eligible to make a claim

Can an Employer Deny Compensation?

No employer will deny work accident compensation claim as he or she is liable to pay compensation to an employee for his:

• Personal injuries: physical, emotional and mental
• Financial losses, following the accident
• Expenditure of treatment till complete recovery

If an employee claim accident at work with ABS Law, our highly experienced and qualified specialists provide full assistance to the claimant. The lawyers send a notice for compensation of working accident compensation to the employer or the employer’s insurance company. If the both parties agree then one can get the compensation amount in less time. However, if in case, the insurer of the party at fault does not agree, then ABS Law will file a case and go for court proceedings. 

The court examines the nature of the accident and injuries, financial loss and cause of the accident, before reaching to a final decision regarding injury at work compensation claim. Mostly, we handle all compensation claims successfully, without any involvement of the court.

Things to Consider when Returning to Work, after an Accident

1. Keep in touch with co-workers

It is important to remain in contact with colleagues after an accident. This makes the person ready for work after his or her recovery. They can get updates about all the happenings at the workplace during absence and do not miss any important information.

2. Do not go unless complete recovery

One should not rush to the workplace unless recovery. Proper rest and stress free environment is essential before getting back to work after sustaining accident injuries.

3. Avoid stress

One must avoid any stress at work place. Give time to yourself to get settled with the work routine after long time of rest.

4. Do not sign any Document

Remember not to sign any document without consulting your lawyer.
