The law sets out many rules to protect you from accidents at work and compensate you if you get injured while working. You are entitled to compensation if you can prove that the accident was someone else’s fault. This could be your employer, a fellow employee or another company based at your place of work. Your employer is not allowed to treat you unfairly or dismiss you for making an accident claim. They are also required by law to have insurance against staff accidents. This means that their insurance company will pay your compensation, not your employer. Accidents at work might be caused by:
