Thousands of people every year are involved in some kind of accident whilst abroad either on holiday or on a business trip. The vast majority do not pursue a claim for their injuries because they either think that it is not possible, extremely costly or just do not know how to go about it. There are methods of reclaiming compensation if you have been injured abroad, however each country has different protocols and laws regarding personal injury claims and whether it is possible to pursue. Unfortunately, our jurisdiction is limited by some geographical boundaries and we cannot undertake the case. In these cases we can offer free advice on how you can bring a claim against the negligent party involved in your injury If you have been involved in an accident at work whether on your own employers premises or another company's premises whilst in the course of your employed duties you may be entitled to compensation.
Every employer has a duty of care to their employees.
This means that they must ensure that the working environment is safe to work in and that they have adequate cover when it comes to Employers Liability Insurance. If you have had an accident at work which involves some aspect of negligence by your employers such as faulty machinery, inadequate safety precautions or poor safety standards such as breeze blocks to hold open doors instead of proper hooks or door stops, or maybe insufficient exterior lighting which could all lead to personal injury then you have recourse to make a claim. Most employers do not make life difficult for employees when they are pursuing a claim for compensation as they should have adequate insurance cover. However, we do always advise an openness to your employers to ensure that there will be no bearing to your future employment.
