Accident at work
Many people suffer an injury at work through no fault of their own because a colleague or employer has been negligent. These accidents can occur in any workplace, be it an office, construction site, factory, warehouse, a shop or even on the road. Through Hex Legal Services we help people get compensation for accidents that have occurred in a workplace.
Your employer is legally bound to have insurance to cover for such injuries and they are also legally bound to keep your position open to you. If your employer fails in their duty to take reasonable care for your safety it is highly possible that you would be able to make a claim.
When you are at work your employer has a responsibility to ensure your safety by providing a safe environment and the right equipment for you to carry out the required work. If you have an accident at work because of a failure in meeting certain requirements you are entitled to be compensated for any personal injury you may have sustained.
Your workplace will have strict Health and Safety regulations to ensure employees are working in the best conditions. Work accidents can occur due to many reasons; you may have been provided with faulty equipment, not received the adequate training for a job or task, or asked to do something that resulted in a major or minor injury that could otherwise have been prevented.
By law, it is the duty of the employer to record your accident in the on-site accident book and this is your evidence that your accident occurred.
