Important: This calculator provides an estimate for general guidance only and is not a guarantee or formal valuation of compensation. Every claim is unique, and actual awards depend on medical evidence and the circumstances of the case. Figures are based on the Judicial College Guidelines, 18th edition, for general damages and may be increased by financial losses such as lost earnings, care, treatment and travel costs.
HSE workplace-injury data highlights the scale of the issue across Great Britain. In 2024/25, an estimated 680,000 workers reported a non-fatal workplace injury, while 59,219 employee injuries were formally reported by employers under RIDDOR.
Scotland recorded a higher fatal workplace-injury rate than England, with 0.93 fatalities per 100,000 workers, compared with 0.31 per 100,000 workers across England.
The most frequently reported workplace accident types were slips, trips and falls on the same level (30%), handling, lifting and carrying incidents (17%), being struck by a moving object (10%), acts of violence (10%) and falls from height (8%).
At National Claims, we aim to make the claims process simple. Tell us what happened, and we can connect you with an experienced solicitor who handles workplace accident claims.
They will listen to how you were injured and how the incident has affected your life, then advise whether you may be able to make a claim. If your claim is suitable, they can guide you through the process from start to finish. There is nothing to pay upfront, and if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not pay.
National Claims is a 5-star rated claims management company on Trustpilot, with more than 2,000 verified reviews. We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 838876).
You may also be able to claim for:
Slips, trips and falls are among the most common workplace accidents. They can be caused by wet or uneven floors, loose cables, poor lighting or obstructed walkways, leading to bruising, sprains, strains, fractures and broken bones.
Incorrect lifting techniques, heavy loads and repetitive manual handling can cause soft-tissue injuries, back pain, muscle strains, spinal injuries and, in more serious cases, bone fractures.
This is particularly common in warehouses, construction sites and workplaces where stock, tools or materials are stored at height. Falling objects can cause head injuries, cuts, bruising, fractures and more serious trauma.
Falls from ladders, scaffolding, roofs, platforms or raised work areas can result in severe injuries, including fractures, spinal damage, head injuries and long-term mobility problems.
Workplace violence can involve threats, verbal abuse, physical assault or attacks by colleagues, customers or members of the public. Injuries may include cuts, scratches, bruising, fractures and psychological trauma.
Accidents involving moving machinery, conveyor belts, forklifts or unguarded equipment can lead to lacerations, crush injuries, cuts, burns, broken bones and, in serious cases, amputations.
