As a population of people we spend most of our time at work and therefore it should not be surprising when it comes to accidents that the majority of compensation claims within Britain come through accidents at work.
- In 1999/2000 about 1.6 million workers suffered an injury caused by a work accident.
- In 1999/2000 there were 383,000 work accident injuries which led to absence from work.
- In 2003/2004 235 people lost their lives in a work place accident, an increase of 4% from the previous year.
Accidents at work occur in a number of ways for a variety of reasons and if you have been injured at work or suffered in any way from an accident at work and your employer was to blame you should get in contact with a Real Compensation advisor today and claim compensation.
Its your employers duty to make sure that the minimum health and safety conditions are met in order to prevent their employees from being involved in a workplace accident.
Your employer has a duty to provide a safe platform for you to carry out your work, capable staff, a safe building to work in and, suitable materials and equipment, plus training and supervision in how to use them.
Your employer will also have adequate insurance in place to cover such incidents and in most cases a claim against your employer is handled directly with the insurance company which mean you do not have to worry about feeling awkward.
Lets face it, nobody likes to be out of work, reliant upon sick pay which more often than not becomes a struggle to live with. In more serious cases people are left after an accident with the unfortunate prospect of not being able to continue working.
At Real Compensation we can help you claim for this loss, covering you in these cases and making your life a whole lot easier to live with.
