Accidents at work are very common. Many of these accidents could have been avoided by employers implementing the correct measures and procedures to minimise the risk of an accident at work from taking place. If you have sustained an injury at work as a result of an accident that was not your fault, then you may be able to make a “no win, no fee” personal injury claim against your employer.
If it can be established that someone else is responsible for your injuries, such as your employer, a colleague, or a company performing work at your place of work. In that case, you will have the basis of a claim for compensation.
Your Employer’s Responsibilities
Your employer is obligated by law to provide safe work conditions and a healthy environment in which you can work, and prevent you from any injury or illness.
Your employer must always provide appropriate training and, where necessary, the correct and suitable equipment to help you perform your duties safely. Your employer is also under a duty to properly maintain the work environment and the equipment you use to ensure that it remains safe at all times.
Health and safety laws and Legislation have significantly increased the level of protection open to employees. There are numerous written health and safety regulations and laws designed to prevent accidents in the workplace, and any breach of these regulations can cause accidents with undesirable consequences. The Health and Safety Executive has set out guidance on their website to implement Health and Safety Legislation in the workplace.

How Much Compensation Could I receive?
If you suffer an injury due to an accident at work that was not your fault, you may be able to make an employers negligence claim. The amount of compensation awarded to you for your injuries will be dependent on the severity of the injury and the level of pain and suffering you sustained. Without all the details of the injury, it is hard to value a compensation claim. Therefore, your compensation will be measured through general damages and special damages.
General Damages refers to compensation for your injury; i.e. your pain and suffering. This valuation will be based on recent case law and guidelines set out by the Judicial College.
Special Damages refers to compensation for your additional financial losses. Your additional losses can include the following:
- Loss of earnings if you required time off due to the accident.
- Travel costs – for travel to and from medical appointments
- Parking costs at medical appointments
- Costs of any care received
- Medical treatment costs
You should ensure that you keep all receipts and invoices for your additional losses, as these will be required to prove your loss.
