Making A Factory Accident Claim with Winns

A factory accident claim is the best way to get your life back on track following an injury at work.

At Winns, we handle the factory accident compensation process from start to finish, providing expert help and advice before leaving you with the settlement that you deserve.

How do I make a claim for factory accident compensation?

If you have been injured while working in a factory, then you may be entitled to make a factory accident claim. Here's what you should do immediately following an accident to give your claim the best chance of succeeding:

• Report the incident to your manager. If they do not write down the details in an accident log, then you can make your own notes for later use.
• Document the scene and the factors that lead to your injury. This can include taking photographs and speaking to witnesses.
• Ask any witnesses present if they would make a statement. Third-party accounts of what happened can be vital evidence during the factory accident claim process.
• Call Winns. We'll advise you on how to proceed with your claim, and organise any medical care that you need.

The owner of the site, your employer, has a duty of care towards you for the time that you are there and if you come to harm then they are liable. There's no need to worry about taking money away from your employer, however, as they are obliged to take out employers liability insurance, and it is from this insurance that factory accident compensation is paid out.

In order for your claim to be successful, however, you must make a claim within three years of the accident, or else your request for compensation will be deemed time-barred and will not continue. In cases where injuries present sometime after the event, then you will have three years from when the symptoms became known to make a claim.

You should also know that it is illegal for you to lose your job or be discriminated against for making a claim, and if you are then you are within your rights to take an employer to a tribunal.

As soon as I made the claim the team has been more than reliable and easy to work with. Within 24 hours everything has been logged and sorted straight away. I've not got a final word on the claim as it's early stages of the process but I'm more than confident and satisfied with the progress made in this short period.

Factory accident claim - FAQs

How do I make a claim against my employer?

If you have had an accident at work, then Winns will help you to make a claim against your employer. The fact that an accident has occurred is a breach of your employer's duty of care, and a clear sign that better training or safety equipment is needed in the workplace.

Call Winns to start the claims process straight away. Our claims handlers will tell you everything you need to know.

Can I claim compensation for an accident at work?

If you have been injured following an accident at work, then you may be entitled to compensation. Settlements generally take into account the severity and lasting effects of an injury, as well as loss of work and associated expenses.

What do I do after an accident at work in a factory?

An accident at work that happens in a factory is still an accident at work. Tell your supervisor exactly what happened, making sure a log is made of the event, and then call Winns to start your claim.

Do I get paid if I’m injured at work?

If your contract covers illness and accidents at work then you will still be paid during your recuperation. If not, however, you will still be entitled to statutory sick pay. You can find out more by visiting the Citizen's Advice page here.
