Workplace Injury Claims

Employers have a legal duty to provide a safe working environment. If you've been injured at work due to your employer's negligence or failure to follow safety regulations, you may be entitled to compensation.

Common Workplace Injuries

• Slips, Trips and Falls - Wet floors, obstacles, uneven surfaces
• Manual Handling Injuries - Back injuries, muscle strains
• Falls from Height - Ladder accidents, scaffolding falls
• Machinery Accidents - Equipment failures, inadequate guards
• Repetitive Strain Injuries - RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome
• Industrial Diseases - Asbestosis, vibration white finger, occupational deafness

Your Rights

You can claim compensation even if you're still employed. It's illegal for employers to dismiss or treat you unfairly for making a claim. Your employer's insurance covers compensation payments.

Time Limits

You generally have 3 years from the date of injury (or date of knowledge for diseases) to make a claim. Don't delay in seeking advice.
