Injury at WorkCommon injuries at work include back injuries, hernia, or an injured hand. Cases involving common injuries are normally easier to settle as the compensation levels will already be well known and accepted by both sides. Problems, and therefore delays, occur when one side disagrees on the compensatory amount to be awarded. Work related injury claims are by no means the most regular type of personal injury claim due the nature of the place where they occur. It is more costly for an employer to have one of their employees in an accident and therefore employers are far more advanced in the area of accident prevention. There is also the added pressure of making sure the working environment is safe even for the most absent minded. An injury at work compensation claim should, however, never be taken personally by the employer as there is no reason. You are not taking thousands of pounds from them personally, (I doubt they will give themselves a pay cut should an accident at work claim occur!). Also, work injury compensation is not a punitive system i.e. the owner is not being "punished" for your injury, you are being compensated for the pain, time of work, lost wages, future problems resulting from injury etc. Any employer should wish to ensure the well-being of any staff member who has been injured. |
