Over the years, new rules and regulations have been put in place to reduce accidents at work; however, accidents do still occur. 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 suffered 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 can make an accident compensation claim.
Your Employers Responsibilities
Employers are obligated by law to provide safe work conditions and a healthy environment. Therefore, it is part of their duty to ensure that their employees are safe from any potential risks that can cause injuries and anything that may cause them to get any industrial diseases.
This responsibility is outlined in several key pieces of legislation, most notably the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HSWA) and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. The main responsibilities of employers to prevent accidents at work include:
- Conducting risk assessments
- Reviewing and updating risk assessments
- Creating and communicating health and safety policies
- Providing adequate training and supervision to ensure health and safety
- Providing a safe work environment to include maintaining safe premises and safe equipment and machinery
- Providing welfare facilities for employees, such as clean toilets, washing facilities, drinking water, and areas for rest and eating
- Reporting incidents: Certain workplace accidents, diseases, and dangerous occurrences must be reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).
- Recording Incidents: Employers must keep records of all incidents and injuries that occur in the workplace.

How Much Compensation For An Accident At Work Claim?
If you suffer an injury as the result of a workplace accident that was not your fault, you may be able to make an employers negligence claim using our no win, no fee agreement. Compensation will be measured through general damages and special damages.
General Damages refers to compensation for your injury, including your pain, suffering and loss of amenity. This will be calculated based on recent case law and guidelines set out by the Judicial College.
Special Damages refer to the additional financial losses incurred as the result of your injury. 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.
