According to the Health and Safety Executive, in 2018/19 there were 4.7 million working days lost, due to workplace injury.

 

Common office accidents include:

 

  • Slips on wet floors
  • Falling or tripping over obstacles left in walkways

  • Slips, trips and falls

 

Repetitive strain injury is also a common injury, as are other musculoskeletal conditions relating to posture, back and neck.

  • DUTY OF CARE

    By making a claim you are helping to build a safer workplace for your colleagues in the future. Protecting your employers from future claims.

  • INTERIM PAYMENTS

    Our work accident specialists will talk to you about the help available to ease the financial burdens you may have whilst you are recovering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why make an office accident claim?

Thankfully, most incidents are not major, and sufferers make a full recovery. But if the accident could have been prevented, your employer may be negligent in their duty of care to you.

Making a claim could give you the financial compensation you need to reduce some of the money worries you might face when having to take time off work to recover.

How can Work Accident Claims help?

Our accident at work solicitors have years of experience in making these kinds of claim. They will build a case and guide you through the process to help you achieve maximum compensation. We also offer a No Win No Fee service.

About No Win No Fee

Only pay a fee if you receive compensation

Where we offer No Win No Fee services typically customers pay 25% of the amount recovered by our solicitors, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this but it will never be more. Success fees are common practice and they were introduced when the law changed in April 2013.

How much compensation will I receive?

Generally speaking, a personal injury claim should be made within three years of the date of the accident. The rules for industrial diseases are slightly different but get in touch and we’ll be able to advise you on your particular circumstances.

I think I have a claim, what do I do next?

Make sure you have written down details of the accident and reported it in the works accident book. Keep your own records too, including dates, circumstances and any photographic evidence.

You will need to seek medical attention for treatment and to make sure the injuries are noted in your medical records.

Then just get in touch with us for a free consultation. We’ll ask you about your situation and help you work out what the best thing to do is.
