Accidents in the workplace

More accidents happen at work than anywhere else. Almost half of all accidents happen in the workplace. It can often be difficult for employees to instigate claims if actual injury has been suffered. Employees are scared of possible "repercussions" if they involve the company in court proceedings.

These fears are groundless as employers are obliged by law to have insurance, which covers them if an employee suffers injury in the workplace. Action can be taken against employers who discriminate because employees are pursuing legitimate claims for accident compensation.

Not that there is a crossover between liability in negligence and the duties which have been imposed by law to cover specific accident situations (particularly Health and Safety regulations). There are also laws with which employers must comply with or risk criminal and civil prosecution cases.

Our advice is that the first practical thing to do if you suffer a work accident and you are going to be off work for a period of time, is to make sure you receive statutory sick pay. If you are still off work after six months, you can seek long-term invalidity or disablement benefit. Check any additional contractual payment which is available.

All accidents should be noted in the company's accident record book (required by law). If there is no company book, or if no-one has made a note of the incident then tell your employer in writing the full circumstances of the accident and details of the personal injury.

Can you make a claim? - you will have to prove that your employer has caused the injury through failure to take reasonable care (there are different legal standards required regarding subcontractors or visitors).

The company must provide a safe way to carry out work; safe premises; suitable materials and equipment; training courses and supervision; competent staff and so on.

The employer must ensure that you are able to carry out work in the safest way possible, regarding the equipment that you work with and the tasks involved. Typical standards within the industry can be used as a benchmark to assess whether the employer has done enough to avoid the injury or accident.

Scottish claims

Normally, past wage loss is very easy to enumerate. If the claimant has lost work as a direct result of their injury then all details of all the lost earnings can easily be obtained and the actual loss calculated. However, the assessment of potential wage loss is of course much more complex and people making these calculations will look at the Ogden Actuarial tables for assistance.

Then the pursuer’s net actual annual earnings at the current time will be determined. Thereafter this is multiplied by a number from the Ogden tables to provide an actual overall figure for the potential future loss. The numbers from the Ogden tables will of course be considerably less than the actual years the claimant would have expected to work if it had not been for the injury.

One specific reason is that the claimant will be expected to invest the award to give them a future financial income. The claimant might also incur a future loss of their pension rights because of their inability to earn. A financial actuarial report will be able to assess this and it can also be put in with the case notes.

Also, a pursuer might require assistance following an accident and injury. Actual assistance given by relatives or others can be part of the claim. Also, services the pursuer needed to be able to give but is no longer able to provide, will also be part of the claim.

In medical negligence accidents, a report from a third-party, totally independent expert will be required where there is evidence of negligent behaviour. Another report will be sought to prove the link between the negligence and the injury. It's always more difficult to show negligence or causation in medical cases as the courts use a higher test than with personal injury cases. Usually the defender will be liable if they fail to show reasonable care - what is considered to be reasonable will be determined by the judge.

It's a fact that more accidents happen at work than anywhere else at all. In fact half of all accidents happen in the normal workplace environment. It is often very difficult for employees to start a case if personal injury has occured. Employees are wary of the possible repercussions if they take their employer to court proceedings. Most fears are groundless as employers are by law obliged to have Employer's Liability Insurance, covering them if any employee is injured. Legal action can be taken against employers who show discrimination against employees who are following up legitimate and rightful claims for damages and compensation.

There is a link between liability and negligence (often known as a the common law duty) and the legal duties which are imposed covering different situations (eg Health & Safety regulations). There also a growing number of laws which employers must always comply with or risk criminal and civil prosecution cases.

The first practical thing to do after a work acciden when you are going to be off work for any period of time, is to ensure that you receive statutory sick pay. If you are off work for six months then you can get long-term invalidity or disablement benefit. Be sure to check for any additional legal or contractual claims which may be payable to you.
