What steps should I take following an injury suffered at work?

It is important that you follow certain procedures to protect your interests: Aside from seeking medical help which should of course be a priority, it is also vital that you take certain legal steps to protect your interests should you wish to seek compensation.

It is recommended that you report the accident as soon as possible to your line manager. If you cannot do this - a relative can help by contacting the manager on your behalf.

You must comply fully with and internal company investigation and / or enquiries conducted by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).

Get informal legal advice as soon as possible to determine what if any case you may have. We would encourage you to speak without obligation to any lawyer specialising in work related accident claims.
