Work accident injury claims? Accident in workplace?

Injury in the workplace and the compensation claims that follow are quite often a sensitive subject. This is generally due to the fact that the employee usually wants to stay working for their employer and they do not want to spoil the working relationship.

We are well aware that an accident in the workplace is a complicated business.

How can you make a work accident injury claim?

What is the best way to bring successful work accident injury claims?

Work accident injury claims? Accident in workplace? What You need to establish?

The first thing that needs to be established is whether the injury occurred as a result of negligence or lack of care from the employer. In all workplaces, the employers have a responsibility to provide a duty of care for all their employees. The employer will be held liable for any injuries where it has been proven that the employer has failed to take the correct preventative measures to protect their employees from potential injury.

Personal Injury claims Ireland- what to do?


Should you be misfortunate enough to suffer an injury in the workplace and wish to pursue a compensation claim, bear in mind that keeping an account of the accident and the events prior, during and post trauma is highly recommended.

Your memory can be badly affected following an accident and keeping an injury diary can be an invaluable support for your personal injury claim.

A daily diary will help you to keep track of your injuries and the day to day consequences. In this diary you can record a variety of information such as treatment received by you, medication you may need to take, physical symptoms you are experiencing and the effects that these injuries are having on you. You should also make note of any sleeping problems, days taken off work and any other medical issues. You should keep using the journal up until you are fully recovered and the compensation claim for your injuries has been settled.

Accident at work procedure


Whenever an accident at work occurs, you should immediately seek professional medical attention whether this is at your own doctor or the nearest A&E department.

It will be extremely difficult to make a successful accident claim in Ireland without a complete doctor’s medical assessment or some entry into your medical records. If you happen to delay the medical examination for any reason i.e. looking after your injuries yourself, it could be said by your employer’s insurance company that you ultimately had an impact on the severity of any injury received through your own inexperienced hand.

While this may not affect you making a work injury compensation claim, it might just affect how much compensation that you receive. For that reason, it is essential that you seek advice from either an injury claims lawyer or contact a reputable personal injury solicitor referral service as soon as you can, preferably from when you have received professional medical attention for your injuries.

Accident at work solicitors

The majority of solicitors will give their initial assessment of your situation free of charge and they will advise you as to whether it is worthwhile pursuing a claim, or if indeed you even have a compensation claim.


It is worth noting that no two injuries at work compensation claims are going to be the same, even if the injuries happen to be identical. The whole process can seem quite daunting and complicated but with knowledge, an injury diary and a good solicitor, victory may not be as difficult as you first think. Peace of mind will be your most important goal and this can be achieved with the right tools.

Injury at work Solicitors


The fact is, accidents at work can occur in any environment, and an employer's liability should be determined by an experienced personal injury solicitor. Regardless of the industry in which you work, you may have a claim for compensation against a third party, such as a negligent manufacturer of the heavy machinery or defective product that caused you harm.

I had an accident at work what are my rights in Ireland? 

Time is of the essence in any personal injury claim. Expedient documentation of the claim is critical. Insurance companies will work to minimise and deny claims from the outset. Your employer and its insurance company might deny that the accident even occurred if swift action is not taken.
