Industrial Accident Compensation Claims
You may be eligible for compensation if you have been injured in an industrial accident at work that wasn’t your fault.
What is an industrial accident?
An industrial accident is any incident that results in an injury or illness while you are at work.
Some causes of industrial accidents include:
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Injuries from machinery or equipment
- Exposure to hazardous materials
- Lifting injuries
- Repetitive strain injuries
Am I eligible to make a claim?
You may be eligible to file a claim if your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence. This means that your employer, a colleague, or a third party failed to take reasonable care to keep you safe, and this failure resulted in your accident.
How much is my industrial accident claim worth?
The value of your claim will depend on the specific circumstances of your accident. This includes factors such as:
- The severity of your injury and the length of your recovery period
- The impact of your injury on your ability to work and your future earning potential
- Any medical expenses you have incurred or will incur in the future
- Loss of earnings due to missed work
- Pain and suffering
You may be able to make a claim if:
- Your employer failed to provide proper training or safety equipment.
- A dangerous work environment was not addressed.
- Faulty machinery or equipment malfunctioned.
- A Co-worker acted negligently, causing your injury.
Who will pay for my industrial accident compensation?
The liable party will depend upon the situation. Here are some possibilities:
- Your employer: If your employer failed to provide a safe work environment and this resulted in your injury, they may be held responsible.
- A manufacturer of defective equipment: If faulty equipment caused your accident, you may have a claim against the manufacturer.
- A third-party contractor: If someone hired by your employer was negligent and caused your injury, they might be liable.
What evidence do I need to start my claim?
Evidence that can support your claim includes:
- Accident details (date, location)
- Injury records (doctor visits, diagnoses)
