Will my Employer be obliged to pay out Compensation for my Construction Accident Claim?

In a word – Yes – Provided it is accepted that your employer had failed to provide a safe place of work which resulted in your injury.

The overriding duty is upon your employer to ensure that safe working practices are adopted and that ongoing health and safety checks are carried out.

Where there has been a breach of health and safety law the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will take matters very seriously and they will investigate matters and may well take legal action in the criminal courts.

If your employer is found to be negligent and it is accepted that the negligence resulted in your injury then you can expect a compensation payment to be made.

It is a legal requirement for your employer to be insured and therefore any payout is in practice going to be made by your employer’s insurer.

Whether any adaptations to your home be required

You need not worry – whatever your individual heads of loss that are relevant to your claim we will fight hard to ensure you receive the maximum of compensation that you are entitled to.
