What Counts as an Accident at Work?
You might be able to claim if your accident was caused by:
- Unsafe equipment
- Poor training
- Slips, trips or falls
- Lack of PPE
- Employer negligence
Even if you were partly at fault, you may still be able to claim.
If your employer failed to keep you safe, they may be legally responsible

Your Rights After a Work Injury (UK)
Under UK law, you have the right to:
- A safe working environment
- Take legal action if your employer was negligent
- Access compensation for lost income, medical bills, and more
Your employer must have insurance for workplace injuries. You are not claiming against them personally.
What to Do After an Accident at Work
-
Report the Accident
Tell your employer straight away. Make sure it’s written in the accident book or recorded by email.
-
Get Medical Help
See a doctor or go to A&E. Keep copies of any records, prescriptions, or diagnoses.
-
Collect Evidence
Take photos of the scene and your injury. If anyone saw what happened, ask for their details.
-

Can I Be Fired for Making a Work Injury Claim?
No, you can’t legally be dismissed for having an accident or making a claim.
If your employer treats you unfairly or tries to push you out, it could be classed as unfair dismissal, and you may have legal grounds to challenge it.
Will I Get Sick Pay?
Check your contract for details, but most workers are entitled to at least:
- Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) for up to 28 weeks
- Or enhanced contractual sick pay
If you're self-employed, you may need to claim Universal Credit or check your income protection insurance if you have it.
Yes, if your injury was partly or fully your employer’s fault, you can make a claim under The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
Claims often cover:
- Pain and suffering
- Time off work
- Loss of earnings
- Medical treatment
- Long-term care
Employers are legally required to have insurance for these claims. You’re not hurting your employer by seeking the compensation you deserve.
