It is understandable that you may not wish to pursue a claim against your employers.  As you may be aware it is a requirement that all employers insure themselves against this type of circumstance.

Their premium may rise next year, but any compensation that you may receive won’t be paid directly from your employers pocket.

It may help you to investigate the accident with a solicitor.  You are under no obligation and your enquiry will be dealt with in strict confidence.

Even if you decide against pursuing a claim, you should consider reporting the incident to your local Health and Safety Officer.  It may help prevent a similar incident in the future.

The latest Health and Safety Executive guidelines place responsibility on employers to provide proper aftercare to minimise the impact of a traumatic incident in the workplace.

NOTE - Employers -  we are able to offer on-site counselling for your staff within 24-72 hours of an incident taking place.  Please email us for more information.

If you have been in an accident that was not your fault, then you deserve justice and compensation. Call us now on 0161 217 7000 for free advice on making your claim.
