Everything to Know About Making Accident at Work Claims in Newcastle

Work accidents can have a significant impact on people’s lives. As a result, you may be off work for an extended period, require medical treatment and a period of rehabilitation.

Many people, including your employer, owe you a duty of care. If your work accident was not your fault and took place in the last three years, then it is likely that you have a work accident claim. In cases involving industrial disease, such as asbestos, or cases involving those under the age of 21, you have a longer period to claim.

The types of work accident claims in Newcastle we can help with include, but are not limited to:

• Asbestos claims, asbestosis, and mesothelioma
• Slips, trips, and falls whilst working
• Assaults by co-workers, employees, and whilst on work duty
• Accidents in hotels, supermarkets, offices, and in the armed forces
• Office accidents including repetitive strain injury (RSI)
• Whiplash claims whilst driving
• Construction accident claims, and building site injuries
• Industrial disease, industrial injury, hearing loss, and tinnitus

If you were injured in an accident at work, which wasn’t your fault, and you would like to make a claim, call our no win no fee* solicitors on 01252354433^ today.

What are an Employer’s Responsibilities?

All employers have a responsibility to protect their employees, contractors, and visitors from injuries. They must take steps to ensure that their employees have a safe working environment in Newcastle.

In the UK, employers have legal obligations to keep their staff safe in the workplace. If your employer fails to observe these duties, and you suffer an injury as a result, then you are likely to be entitled to workplace injury compensation.

People are often worried about taking legal action against their employer but please, don’t be. Any compensation will be paid for from your employer’s insurance policy – which is in place for such cases.

It is also illegal for your company to discriminate against you if you have had to make an accident at work claim in Newcastle.

Can You Make a Work Accident Claim in Newcastle?

You can make an accident compensation claim if you have had an accident at work in the last three years that was caused by your employer’s breach of duty or by the negligence of another staff member. This period will be extended if you are under 21 or for claims involving certain industrial diseases such as asbestosis.

A workplace accident claim may also be brought by a spouse or family member if someone has died as a result of their injury at work.

We understand that raising a claim against your employer can be sensitive, and that’s why we always treat accident at work claims in Newcastle with the utmost care. If you would like to discuss your case in confidence, and find out if you can make a claim, call our free-phone number to talk to one of our expert accidents at work solicitors today **.

How Much Personal Injury Compensation Can You Claim For?

Due to the fact that every personal injury case is different, it is impossible to predict how much accident at work compensation you will receive.

Awards are based on many factors, including your injury and suffering, any rehabilitation you require, and any loss of earnings you have as a result of your accident. The court in Newcastle will also take into account any steps your employer took to reduce your chance of an injury.

You also have a duty to make your employer aware of any accident that happens while at work. If you are in any way responsible for your accident, this may have an impact on the amount of compensation the courts are willing to give. However, even if you are partially responsible for the accident, you may still be able to make a claim.

Remember: no two injuries will ever be the same, and financial awards for compensation are awarded on an individual basis and depend on the facts surrounding your case. To get an accurate picture of the amount of compensation you may be entitled to, call one of our accident at work team to discuss your case on 01252354433^.
