Work Related Accidents
To claim for a work related injury you will need some evidence that you injuries are the result of an accident or working practice in your workplace. This can be in the form of witnesses, employers logs, previous similar incidents, ambulance attendance at the scene plus many others.
Then, it will have to be proved that the injuries were the liability of the employer, though this will be up to your solicitor to do you will be part of the process and should be aware that you will be giving evidence against your employer. This is not normally as bad as it sounds, these days as health and safety in the work-place becomes more important to people, employers will generally welcome the one or two cases that can shape their work practices into avoiding much larger lawsuits in the future.
Any employer that is unwilling to change any practices or accept liability for injuries to the people under their care will face much stiffer penalties. That being said, it is understandable that there be some trepidation over claiming against your own boss but feel free to discuss your case and the possible repercussions with a solicitor before making up your mind whether to claim or not.
