1. Keep Your Medical Records Updated

If you have suffered an injury in the workplace your first priority is that of your own health. If you have suffered an injury at work you may be contractually obliged to attend the workplace doctor for an examination. You should also make an appointment with your own doctor to ensure your medical records are updated.

Not all workplace injuries manifest themselves immediately; back pain, joint strain and respiratory illnesses are all medical conditions which can take some time for symptoms to appear. These health problems may only involve mild symptoms initially; however they invariably worsen in the weeks following an accident in the workplace. It is important that your injuries are documented when the symptoms first appear. If you are suffering from a repetitive strain injury which you believe to be caused by your work, it is important that you make a record of the condition in your employer’s accident book. You must also visit a doctor to get the problem checked and diagnosed as a workplace injury.

2. Don’t Wait Too Long After an Accident to Make a Compensation Claim

You have by law three years from the date of an accident in which to initiate a workplace injury compensation claim, but in almost all cases, your chances of making a successful workplace injury compensation claim will deteriorate if you delay seeking the advice of a workplace solicitor. Especially in a work environment, the other workers – potential witnesses - may move on to other employment. Whether they resign, move to a different site or get fired, they may be hard to track down later if you need any witness corroboration to support a compensation claim for a workplace injury.

Also, the work environment may change considerably over time. Perhaps there is a new man in at the top since the day you had your accident. He may have brought in big changes to address a previously sloppy safety system. If the negligent culture that prevailed when you had your accident has long gone, it may not be easy to prove it ever existed.

Engaging a workplace solicitor at the earliest stage of any claim insures that by the time your case goes to court, your workplace solicitor will have prepared statements from all witnesses, and will have collected all the medical, police and actuarial reports necessary to prove that your employer has been negligent in his duty of care to you as an employee.

3. A Workplace Injury Is Not Only Caused By a Sudden Impact

While many workplace injuries are the result of a fall, trip, slip or being struck by a falling object, there are other types of injury that can emerge over time.

Industrial deafness, repetitive strain injuries and stress-related illnesses are all caused by repeated and long term exposure to hazards or from poor working conditions. These conditions do not have a specific start date which is easy to pinpoint, and they are certain to get worse over time if the stress or damaging factor is not removed.

If you have been diagnosed with any workplace injury or industrial disease that is caused by an unhealthy work environment, you should be entitled to claim workplace injury compensation.

All workers have the right to a safe workplace and all employers have a duty of care to protect their workers from harm. Nevertheless every year, there is a very long list of injuries caused by all manner of unsafe practises, lack of training, poorly maintained machinery or work premises, chemical spillages, bullying and harassment. A claim for workplace injury compensation can be made for all of the health problems caused by these examples of employer negligence, although these claims have potential to become complicated. It is therefore of great benefit to seek the advice of a workplace injury solicitor before initiating a claim for workplace injury compensation.

Your physical and mental health is vital to your enjoyment of life and can seriously affect your ability to earn a salary to support your family. If you have been injured at work, your life will change as a result. Whether this is a permanent or temporary change, you are entitled to make a claim for a workplace injury to recover compensation for expenses incurred, and for any pain and suffering caused.
