Workplace Injury Claims

There are health and safety regulations which require employers to assess the risk of harm to their employees in the workplace and to take all reasonable steps to reduce such risks. The failure to carry out the appropriate risk assessments is often the cause of injury or the development of disease and illness in the workplace, which include:

• Repetitive strain injuries
• Disease or illness due to exposure to harmful substances or excessive stress at work
• Loss of sight or hearing
• Loss of limbs, fingers and toes

The most common types of workplace injury claims arise from slips and trips, operating unsuitable or faulty equipment and machinery, improper training or instruction, exposure to dangerous chemicals or other substances such as asbestos or dust and excessive stress at work.

In most workplace injury claims there is an Employers’ Liability insurer that will compensate an injured employee if the employer is found to have neglected its duty to provide a safe working environment.
