Accident at Work Claims

Compensation For An Accident At Work In The UK

Going to work might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s still a necessary part of most people’s lives in the UK and beyond. It is often easy to take for granted the protective equipment, safe workspaces, and policy put in place to protect employees at work. Still, sometimes the protection isn’t sufficient enough to protect you from injury.

No matter the precautions or protections that are put in place, workplace accidents may happen under varying circumstances. Injuries caused by workplace accidents usually range in severity from just minor lacerations, sprains, broken bones, severe burns, amputations, and in the worst of cases, fatalities.

If you are the unfortunate victim of a workplace accident that leads to an injury, you may be eligible to file for a claim for compensation. However, for you to do so, the accident must have been due to somebody else’s fault, and it should not be more than 3 years since you had the accident. If you want to file a work accident claim for compensation, you can count on Angelus Law to help.
