工作场所伤害索赔

工作场所伤害索赔

Many employees are involved in workplace accidents which cause them to suffer injuries. They types of workplace accidents that we come across are mainly due to a hazard that exists within the workplace, unsafe work practices and a general lack of the duty of care on the part of the employer.

Sinnott Solicitors have acted for many employees nationwide including Chefs, Kitchen Porters, Construction Workers, Store Assistants, Clerical Workers, Factory Workers and professionals working within industrial sectors in order to achieve for them compensation for their injuries.

一般而言，雇员若想就工伤事故向雇主提出诉讼，必须证明事故是雇主的过错，而雇主应该对雇员给予更大程度的照顾。如果雇员因工伤缺勤，工伤事故赔偿通常包括对收入损失的索赔。

Sometimes, an employee may be entitled to claim for psychological injuries as a result of a work accident. Compensation for psychological injuries as a result of work accidents would include, for example, compensation for any post traumatic stress disorder. We have acted for many employees that have been involved in workplace accidents over the years and if you have sustained injuries as a result of a workplace accident for which you require compensation, Sinnott Solicitors can assist you with taking your claim. We cannot help with workplaces accident claims in the UK.

准备工作场所人身伤害索赔

为了准备任何人身伤害索赔，索赔人或索赔人的律师有必要收集尽可能多的证据。

您的律师应立即写信给被告，要求提供CCTV录像带的副本（如果有的话），并且应根据1988-2003年数据保护法第4条向您的律师提供信息。

您的律师还应该获得有关事故的非常详细的描述，证人名单以及他们的地址和电话号码，与事故有关的任何文档，例如工作场所中的事故或与事故有关的事故报告，照片发生事故的区域以及受伤照片。

除了上述准备之外，您的律师还可能有必要写信给被告，要求他们保存与事故有关的各种设备和材料。

您的律师可能会要求被告制定工作场所或事故现场的某些清洁时间表，以协助您的案件。

申请工伤事故的程序是什么？

记录事故

任何工作场所事故的第一步是在事故发生后尽快将事故记录在雇主的事故簿中。您应该确定事故的目击者，并确保他们的姓名也被记录下来。许多雇主将制定工作场所事故程序，要求员工填写工作场所事故报告。在那份报告中，你应该记录事故的细节、目击者的姓名和事故现场的照片。

就医

下一步是拜访您的医生，他将对您的受伤情况进行评估。这应该尽快完成。在更严重的工作场所事故中，可能需要呼叫救护车并前往最近医院的当地事故和急诊科。医院将始终记录您就诊的详细信息以及您因工作场所事故而受伤的程度。当您提出索赔时，这对您的律师很有用，因为您的律师将提供有关出院情况、治疗您的医生以及有关您受伤的一些信息的详细信息。如果您去看全科医生，您的律师会写信给您的全科医生，要求提供与您受伤有关的医疗报告。

向健康与安全局报告

可能有必要将事故通知健康与安全局，这取决于事故的严重程度。您的律师会建议您是否应将工作场所事故通知健康与安全局。一般来说，如果一个人在工作场所发生事故后连续三天缺勤，那么雇主必须根据 ACT 2005工作中的健康与安全.

收集证据

您的律师将收集与您的事故有关的所有必要信息。您的律师将根据数据保护法向您的雇主索取您的员工档案，该档案将或肯定应包含事故报告和您的事故详情。您的律师还会向您的雇主写一封索赔信，让您的雇主承担事故责任，并让您的雇主有机会提出他们的建议，以补偿您的伤害。这封信还会建议您的雇主立即联系他们的保险公司，如果他们还没有通知他们发生了事故。

获取专家专家或工程师的报告

您的律师将决定是否应立即雇用工程师来检查现场或检查事故或事故现场。该工程师的报告对于处理您的工伤委员会索赔或以后的法庭诉讼至关重要。工程师将是一名在检查事故和工作场所伤害事故现场方面经验丰富的专业事故现场工程师。例如，工作场所的许多设备都有安全规范和操作规范，您的工程师可能会认为该设备或机械未按照要求的特定规范运行。

建筑工地事故索赔和赔偿

Many construction workers and employees of construction companies are involved in workplace accidents causing them to suffer personal injuries. We come across many building site accidents and we deal with compensation claims for those involved. In order to claim compensation for a building site accident, it is necessary to prove that the accident was caused by a failure of the duty of care of the employer. Building sites are generally very hazardous environments and there are many regulations and laws which must be upheld by employers. The Health & Safety Authority is heavily involved in the regulation of safety in respect of building sites and will generally inspect the site of an accident reported to the Health & Safety Authority.

Compensation for building site accidents can also include compensation for loss of earnings if the Claimant is not in a position to work for a period of time as a result of the accident. Compensation can also include compensation for psychological injuries in connection with the building site accident in certain circumstances. If you have been involved in a building site accident, we strongly recommend that the accident is reported immediately and that an incident report is filed with your appropriate superiors.

In order to make a claim for compensation for injuries sustained by slips, trips and falls, it is necessary to prove that the liability rests with the Defendant by allowing the hazard to either develop or continue in circumstances where the Defendant ought to have known that the hazard would cause an accident.
