Understanding workplace injuries

Workplace injuries can vary widely, from minor incidents like sprains and strains to severe injuries such as head trauma, brain damage, or spinal injuries. Regardless of the severity, any injury that affects your ability to work can lead to significant financial and emotional challenges.

Your right to compensation – making a workplace injury claim

Employers have a legal duty to provide a safe working environment and to take reasonable steps to prevent accidents. If you have been injured at work, you may be entitled to compensation. Employers are required by law to have employers’ liability insurance, which typically covers any compensation due.

To make a successful workplace injury claim, you need to demonstrate that your employer was at fault for your injuries. Even if you believe the accident was your fault, it may be due to inadequate training or instructions from your employer.

At Nelsons, our team of expert personal injury solicitors has extensive experience in handling workplace injury compensation claims. We deal with a wide range of cases, including:

We are committed to empowering our clients, giving them a voice, and fighting for their rights. Our Personal Injury team has a strong track record of securing compensation, consistently recovering significant amounts each year for those injured at work.
