FAQ's
If you have been injured in an accident at work that was caused by your employer’s negligence, your employer’s liability insurance should cover the compensation payment.
In the UK, employers are required to have liability insurance in place to cover claims for workplace accidents and injuries. This insurance is designed to protect both the employer and the employee in the event of an accident.
If a successful claim is made, the compensation payment will be paid by the employer’s liability insurance company, which will cover any damages awarded to the injured person for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity, as well as any financial losses incurred due to the injury.
However, claiming compensation should not affect employment status or job security, and employers are prohibited from dismissing or victimizing employees who make claims for compensation following an accident at work. It is recommended to speak to a personal injury solicitor who can advise on the details of the case and guide the claims process
The general rule in the UK states that three years from the date of a workplace accident is the time limit for claiming compensation. However, exceptions may be taken if the injury sustained in the workplace accident was not immediately apparent.
It is best to make a claim as soon as possible after an accident, as this allows for the collection of evidence while it is still fresh and the chance of success is high. Our personal injury solicitor can help you to understand the time limits that apply to the claim.
