Slip Injury Compensation

Claiming for slip-accident injury compensation is normally settled by the shop staff or employer, and if the employer fails to make their employees aware of their legal rights they may not be sufficiently motivated to settle at all. In many circumstances it is always best to seek professional legal advice before approaching your employer. Claims for slip and trip accidents are commonplace, but the legal process can be a lengthy and arduous one. The employer's insurance policy usually covers the workers in their companies, but not their personal possessions. If you are injured at work you have every right to claim for compensation from your employer to recover lost wages and other losses suffered, this is usually done by making a claim for "injuries at work".

When making a claim for Slip Injury Compensation your solicitor will look at all the possible factors that could have caused the accident such as poor safety management including lack of safety signage, dangerous equipment use, inadequate lighting, and other potential hazards, poor customer service standards and the responsibility of the employer in the workplace. Your solicitor will then assess the type of slip-related injuries suffered and which injuries are exacerbated by the particular hazard in question. In the case of a slip and trip accident your solicitor will ask you questions relating to your job duties, work habits and any prior experience you have with slips. If you have suffered whiplash or an injury that requires physical therapy, your solicitor will ask to see medical reports that detail your injuries and any treatment that has been or is required. These records will also show any limitations your injury may now be suffering from, both physically and emotionally.

If you are a victim of workplace accidents and have suffered serious injuries that have resulted in a disability or altered your quality of life because of the accident you have a case for slip injury compensation. Slip and trip accidents should never be brushed off, investigated thoroughly by a professional negligence claims solicitor and if you feel you deserve compensation seek a specialist solicitor immediately. Some of the most common reasons for these types of accidents include inadequate flooring, stairs that are narrow or not easily accessible, dangerous machinery and dangerous working conditions. Your solicitor will be able to advise on whether you have a case for compensation or whether your employer's negligence has resulted in this accident.
