Your employer should have insurance to cover compensation claims.

If you answer yes to one or more of the following questions, you may have a viable compensation claim. Please contact us to evaluate your case.
- Did you suffer an injury at work?
- Were you involved in a car accident while on the job?
- Do you work long hours?
- Do you have a physically strenuous job?
- Do you have pain or discomfort anywhere in your body?
- Are you stressed or anxious?
- Do you often cry due to stress or harassment at work?
- Have you sought medical treatment for physical pain, stress, anxiety, depression, or high blood pressure?
- Do you have a pre-existing injury that has gotten worse while working?
- Has your employer failed to provide a comfortable chair or proper equipment?
- Were you discriminated against or terminated after reporting an injury?
Having records of your accident will be useful if you make a claim for compensation or you need to claim benefits, including Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).
You can have your accident recorded by reporting it at work and seeing a doctor.
It is also a good idea to:
- Take photos of your injury and whatever caused your accident.
- Make sure you have contact details for anyone who witnessed your accident.
- Make notes about your accident as soon as possible – you can include drawings if they will help show what happened.
- Ask any witnesses to make notes and share them with you.
