What are an Employer’s Responsibilities?

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

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 may be entitled to work 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 claim.

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

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 different factors, including your injury and suffering, any rehabilitation you required and any loss of earnings you have as a result of your accident. The court 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, and 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 if the amount of compensation you may be entitled to, call one of our accident at work team to discuss your case.
