What should I do after an accident at work in Newcastle?

Before you make your injury at work claim in Newcastle, there are certain steps that you need to take. They may seem like an inconvenience when you are suffering from the affects of an injury, but following procedure in cases like these will make the process much smoother when you come to make an injury at work claim in Newcastle:

• Firstly, you should inform your employer that there has been an incident as soon as possible.
• Make sure they take a note of your report and accident in an official accident log.
• If they fail to do so, make your own record of the incident and the circumstances leading to it. Records such as this can be key to the success of a claim, so be sure to read this advice from the Citizens Advice website on what to do if an official accident log does not exist.
• See a doctor for examination, even if you think your injuries are minor. They could spot something you haven't, and a doctor's assessment will provide a recording of your injuries and help you get the right help and treatment more quickly.

Once you've done all of these things you should get in touch with Winns. We will take care of your claim for an accident at work in Newcastle from there, with the above steps giving us the best chance of securing a settlement.

I had followed a friend's advice and contacted Winn solicitors to make a claim after someone crashed into my car. Being a fairly new driver and in shock at the incident, a member of the first response team made the process a lot easier. Explaining things calmly and thoroughly over the phone as well as ensuring I fully understood every aspect took the majority of the stress away.

How do I know if I can make an accident at work claim in Newcastle?

If you have suffered a personal injury whilst carrying out your daily tasks at work, or as a result of those tasks, then you are entitled to make a claim for an accident at work in Newcastle.

An accident at work can take many forms, including slips and trips, burns, electrocution, vehicle-related incidents, and long-term use of equipment that cause loss of senses. You can make a claim in any of these cases, especially if your employer can be shown to have inadequate health and safety measures in place. They have a duty of care to keep you safe at work, and if that duty of care is not met then you are within your rights to make an accident at work claim in Newcastle.

Winn Solicitors was extremely helpful and effective in resolving an issue I had with a car repair company. I have every confidence, that any further issues that may arise in relation to the progression of my case, will be dealt with in the same efficient manner. Thank you.

All you need to know when claiming for an accident at work in Newcastle – FAQs

How much money am I entitled to if I make an accident at work claim in Newcastle?

The amount of compensation awarded for an accident at work in Newcastle is different in every case, as a range of different factors affects the final figure. Time away from work, loss of earnings, and the severity of any injuries suffered as part of your accident are all taken into account. If you would like to receive an approximate figure, you can speak to a member of the Winns team today.

Can I be penalised after claiming for an accident at work in Newcastle?

Put simply, no, your employer cannot penalise you or discriminate against you for filing an injury at work claim in Newcastle. It is illegal for them to do so, and any accident is a failing of theirs to live up to their duty of care to you. Any settlement will likely come from their Employer's Liability Insurance, so you can proceed without worrying about negative after-effects.

How long do I have to claim after an accident at work?

In England and Wales, there is a very clear window for making a claim following an accident at work. In most cases, if you do not commence court proceedings within three years of the incident that caused your injuries, your claim may be considered 'time-barred' and will probably leave you ineligible for compensation. However, there is often a lot of work required before this can be done, so we would always advise you to contact Winns as soon as possible after the incident, to allow us to begin work on your behalf.

Absolutely amazing! Everyone had been so helpful and genuinely nice on the phone and through emails, and have made the entire process of making a claim really simple, even for a first-time claim. Compared to other insurance companies and their subcontracted companies, Winn Solicitors and their associated service companies have been so kind and definitely go the extra mile to make you comfortable.
