Unfortunately, accidents at work occur on a frequent basis and in 2024-2025 854,000 workers suffered a work-related injury which resulted in over 7 days of absence or became ill due to their work. This is a 34% increase since 2018-2019 and is an indication of the lack of health and safety policies that are in place in many workplaces.
Many accidents that occur cause serious injuries and will involve the employee having to take time off, often not receiving any sick pay during the absence.
If the employee’s injuries were caused due to the negligence of the employer, then the employee should pursue a claim against that employer. Most employers have employers’ liability insurance which will cover the cost of any settlement if the employer is found to be at fault
