In many cases accidents at work cause injuries from which the Employee recovers, but this is not always the case. Injuries can be both physical and mental and sometimes the effects of an accident can be long lasting. Whether you have recovered from your injuries or not, and whether or not you had to have time off work as a result, you are still entitled to make a claim for compensation where your employer and/or their employees or agents have been negligent.
Not only are you entitled to be compensated for injuries caused as the result of another’s negligence, you are also entitled to recover any financial losses stemming from your injuries. This includes, but is not limited to: lost wages, aids and appliances bought to assist your recovery, travelling expenses in attending medical appointments and claims for care and assistance provided by friends and family members. We understand that the financial implications of an accident and injury can sometimes be costly and we strive to recover as many financial losses as possible, as part of your claim.
Many people worry that by bringing a Personal Injury claim against their employer that they will end up in Court, but this is not always the case. Although some cases do make it to a final Court Trial and come before a Judge these cases are in the minority and the majority of cases are settled before a Court hearing ever takes place.
