Personal Injury > Accidents at Work
Accidents at WorkAccidents within the work place can bring a lot of hardship to you and to your family. In most cases, if you need time off because of an accident at work, you will only have the right to statutory sick pay. Your employer may have a scheme for paying more for time off caused by accidents, or may decide to pay extra depending on what has happened, although this may be no where near your current salary figure. You are entitled to claim compensation for any injury sustained whilst performing your duty of work, if it is deemed that your employer behaved in a negligent manner. Each instance is different, and it is important to note that your employer has a responsibility and duty of care to you. Can I be sacked for claiming against my employer?No. Your employer cannot sack you, intimidate you, change your job or decrease your wage on the basis that you have decided to pursue compensation. It is illegal. We do all we can to ensure that the process of pursing a claim following an accident at work is clear and straightforward for our clients.
