Work Injury Claim - Easy If You Make It!




By Mohammad Latif

If you had an accident at work, its consequences can get very complicated. A work injury claim can help if it disables and makes you less useful as an employee to the company. The recovery takes time and your co-workers can react in different ways when they have more work to do because of your health problems.

They may be unhappy with you slowing their work or they may think that you're practically being lazy and your injury is just an excuse so you needn't work harder. So your situation at work gets worse, even though it's not your fault that you're suffering from an accident.

Accidents do occur and you shouldn't be punished for it. The injury may result in smaller earnings, you can be demoted, transferred to other tasks or lose a future chance of promotion.

Not to mention that one day you may hear from your boss, the time has come for you depart from the company and suddenly you are left with nothing.

Are You Going To Get Sacked?

On the other hand, you realise you can make a work injury claim. But you also think about it not being fair on the company and could jeopardise your relationship within. However a work accident claim can solve many issues brought to hand. Such as stating the obvious financial, the reason why we go to work. To get paid!

The injury assessment and medical report, once obtained from a medical specialist will determine the worth of your compensation claim. It could also bring to light areas at work that are dangerous to work and will help the company to improve and prevent further accident injuries.

It may also prove that your injury is more serious than your co-workers and bosses think. If the accident was not your fault, your company should bear all the consequences, as they haven't obeyed the Health & Safety Regulations.

A workplace accident claim can also compensate for many personal problems following your injury at work - because we can't forget that your life doesn't end at work as it affects your everyday life, both personal and social.

I Had An Accident At Work - What Should I Do?

There are certain procedures and things you should do if you want to make a compensation claim for a workplace injury. At the very beginning, your injury should be recorded in the company's accident book. If your firm has more than 10 employees, the presence of such book is required by law.

If for some reason the accident book is not available, you should advise your boss with a description of the accident and any injuries sustained. If there were any witnesses to the accident, they should add their knowledge of detail to the record.

You should also be asked to write down a detailed version of the entire situation - it's good to prepare it as soon as possible, so you won't forget anything and you will have it ready for any further proceedings. If you can, take photos of the workplace area plus any machines that were involved.

Then you should visit your doctor, so he or she could make a medical entry concerning your injury. If the injury is serious enough to make you unable to work, you should organise your statutory sick pay with your employer. It could also be useful for your accident injury claim to at least recover your earnings.

Of course, if you want to claim your compensation, the best you can do is to contact an accident solicitor, who will advise and guide you through the process of making a claim. Quality accident solicitor's services are free, based on a 'No Win No Fee' policy, which means that regardless of the claim's final result, you don't pay anything.

On the other hand if you win, you get 100% of your workplace injury compensation. If you have any questions or doubts about proceeding you should contact one today! But can you see any reason why you shouldn't use a professional and a 100% free based service that can bring you compensation for your accident at work?
