A true 'accident' in one that could not have been avoided. One where all possible steps have been taken to ensure your saftey and welbeing, and still you get injured.
What is not an 'accident' is where you suffer injury because insufficient Care, Planning or Training was given to you. Or where pressure was put on you not to comply with Health and safety requirements.
If your 'accident' at work falls into the second category, you may be able to claim for the loss of wages, damage to your property, injury to yourself, and other costs incurred as a result of the accident.
So you need to ask yourself the following questions.
How safe is your workplace?
Have you been properly trained?
How about Health and Safety?
These are some of the factors to take into consideration if you have an accident at work.
If you do have an accident at work, how does your Employer treat you? Do they recognise that you need help, or do they treat you as though it is your fault and you are a problem?
Do they want you to take any necessary time off work, with pay, till you recover; or do they just want you to go!
Not ALL Employers respond well to your having an accident that results in you getting injured, but they ALL have a Duty of Care; and if they fail, then you are able to sue for Compensation.
