Industrial Accidents
You spend a great deal of your time at work, and we all form a certain familiarity with our surroundings, but this repeated familiarity may develop into something more sinister.
Afflictions that are the result of a prolonged period of time spent operating certain machinery or carrying out specific physical activities may take time to manifest themselves. This is referred to as repetitive strain injury, and can severely impede your ability to work.
If the Victim does not become Aware of the Right to Claim Compensation for Some Time
…the normal three-year legal time limit on Personal Injury Claims can be affected, which means that you are still entitled to make a claim outside the usual limit.
Some of the most frequently found cases of industrial injury result from inadequate lighting, insufficient ventilation or protection from fumes, or excessive noise from machinery.
Back injuries caused by repeated lifting are also very common, and repetitive
strain injury is becoming a more familiar case for personal injury awards.

In the past it has been difficult to prove that such injury is a result of
your employment activity, but with a medical opinion that that is the case you
may have good grounds for a compensation claim. You may also be entitled to
payment of costs incurred from travelling expenses and medical fees, as well
as loss of earnings brought on by the accident
Industrial Accident Claims
If you are unable to continue in your job, you may find that you can receive a substantial payout.
It is also possible to be awarded compensation for an occurrence that was also partly your fault, or the fault of a work colleague, as the employer is deemed responsible for all employees.
Consult our personal injury law specialists to find out if you are entitled to claim compensation for your misfortunate circumstances. It might make all the difference to an adverse situation.
