Workplace Accident Compensation

If you've recently had an accident at work or sustained an injury in the workplace then TLW Solicitors can help you claim compensation for your injuries caused by an accident in your place of work.

TLW Solicitors specialise in work related accident compensation claims and have a dedicated team or workplace accident compensation solicitors to advise you and help with your claim.

Many of our clients have been injured in the workplace due to their employers failing to have correct health & safety at work. But it isn't always the employer who is negligent, sometimes it can be an employee who is reponsible for your workplace accident.

Workplace accidents can range from back injuries to hand injuries to hernias to more serious head injuries.

Here's a checklist of things you should do which will help us with your compensation claim.

Report your accident to your supervisor or boss;
Have your injury recorded in the first aid/accident book;
Request a report be logged to investigate your accident;
If you take time off work for your injury, ensure that your employee knows it's because of your workplace accident;
Keep a diary of your symptoms along with dates, times and a description of what each is;
Keep all receipts relating to your workplace accident, lost income, travel expenses and prescriptions expenses;

By doing this it will help your compensation claim and ensure that you don’t lose out financially as a result of being unable to work.
