If you have been injured at work or have contacted an industrial illness through the job, you may be able to recover compensation from the employers who you were working for at the time the incident or injury occurred. However you may feel reluctant to make a compensation claim against your employer for fear of victimisation or even losing your job. In such cases your claim for the injuries sustained will be handled by the employers insurance company and victimisation is rare. There are separate employment laws to protect you from harassment, bullying and unfair dismissal.

Accidents at work are common and your employer will have insurance to cover compensation claims from employees who have been injured at work. Remember, it is your employers legal responsibility to provide a safe and secure workplace, adequate equipment, and a safe working system.

In some cases your injury may leave you unable to continue working and it is probably then inevitable that your employment will be terminated. We can help you claim for loss of earning and loss of future income as a result of your accident. Compensation awards in cases like these can be substantial.
