Acquiring Compensation After an Accident at Work
Every year hundreds of people are injured at work. Most work accidents are caused by the negligence of another employee or company breaches of health and safety laws. People go to work expecting to find a safe environment, not one that will send them to the hospital.
If you suffered injuries from an accident at work through no fault of your own, it is important to find a solicitor who can give you the representation you need. At R&H Law, our solicitors each bring over 25 years of experience to every case they handle.

- Lifting or carrying heavy materials

- Inadequate work equipment
Making a Work Accident Claim
If you were injured in a work accident, it is important to report the incident to your employer as soon as possible. If you were not taken to the hospital, it is important to see your GP. Once the accident has been reported, you have three years to make a claim. If the accident was not caused by your negligence, you may have a basis for a claim.
