Inadequate Protection Injury Compensation Claim

Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act (2007), employers have a legal obligation to protect their employees from injury and provide a safe environment in which to work. Before embarking on any task, an employer should make a risk assessment of the protection levels required and provide appropriately for them. Sometimes the provision of this protection will be apparent in the form of hats, gloves and boots, but in many industries intangible risks may exist from which an employee also requires protection:-

• Noise – Workers in noisy environments should be protected against loss of hearing
• Harassment – Employers should ensure their staff are protected from bullying and harassment
• Air Borne Toxins – The time that an employee spends in such an environment should be monitored

Where an employer fails in any element of his responsibilities, and you suffer an injury because of it, you are entitled to make an inadequate protection injury compensation claim.

Making an Inadequate Protection Injury Compensation Claim

An inadequate protection injury compensation claim should always be made with the assistance of a specialist personal injury claims solicitor. An experienced solicitor will be familiar with the procedures involved such as obtaining medical reports and a copy of the employer´s “Accident Report Book” to ensure that any inadequate protection injury compensation claim is dealt with comprehensively and that the award of compensation is appropriate for the trauma suffered as a result of your injury.

A solicitor will also advise on the correct course of action should an employer deny liability for your injuries, or if you are subsequently approached by his insurance company with an unreasonable offer of inadequate protection injury compensation.  A solicitor will also ensure that out-of-pocket expenses directly related to your injuries are included in your compensation award and that provision is made for loss of earnings – both past and future.
