Inadequate Training Claims

Generally speaking, you qualify for a claim if you are confident the accident at work was your employer’s fault.

This might be concerning safety standards, inadequate training, or having the right equipment. If you think your employer failed in their responsibilities and this led to your injury at work, this can constitute grounds for a claim.

Even if the workplace accident was partially your fault, you may still be able to claim.

Although your actions may have contributed to the situation, if the primary fault lies with another party whose actions were the root cause of the accident then you will likely still qualify for an accident at work claim.

We can guide you through the whole process of making a claim.

The process starts with gathering evidence of the workplace accident. We will need to know:

• Where and when the accident at work occurred.
• If there were any witnesses.
• What injuries you sustained.
• If you require ongoing treatment or rehabilitation.

To help build this evidence, things like documents, site pictures, workplace accident books, and photos of your injury can all be valuable. Our expert accident at work lawyers will also work with you to:

• Arrange medical treatment if you haven’t already received it.
• Assess your loss of earnings through having to be off work.

An injury at work claim usually only goes to court if a case is particularly complex. Most accident at work cases don’t need to go to court, but we will be with you throughout the process if it becomes necessary.

Employees have employment protection rights once they have completed two years continuous service.

If your employment is for a shorter period than this and you have any concerns about making a claim talk to us and get our advice.

You have an overall time limit of three years from the date of an accident at work in which to formally issue court proceedings, so talk to us as soon as possible.

Every claim comprises a unique set of factors that will govern how much compensation could be awarded. These can include, but are not limited to:

• The severity of your injuries and any long-term effects.
• How long you’ll be off work to recover and any loss of earnings.
• Money spent because of your injury on travel, medication, or childcare.
• The time involved in your family or loved ones having to provide care or assistance for you.

We aim to ensure that we recover the maximum compensation that you are entitled to.
