Firstly, the liability for the accident needs to be established. Secondly evidence needs to be provided to put a value on the claim.
In establishing liability, the following evidence can prove crucial and the more detailed the evidence the stronger the case will be:
• A full and proper record in the accident book: what actually happened, how the accident occurred, the injuries sustained, action taken to seek medical help etc. All employers are legally required to maintain an accident for every injury no matter how minor.
• Any photographs of the working area, equipment in use, the scene of the accident and the injuries sustained.
• Witness testimonies
• Records of all medical treatment received as a result of the accident and all medical expenses incurred.
