Employer Responsibility

No matter the industry that you work in, your employer has a duty to ensure your health and safety while you are in the workplace. This includes following any health and safety guidelines that are relevant to your industry. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has strict guidelines that employers have to follow in order to ensure the safety of their employees. If these guidelines are not followed and you are injured as a result, you may be able to claim compensation. If you’d like to know more about the health and safety guidelines for the manufacturing sector, visit the HSE website.

If you have been unable to work or carry on doing your previous job due to your injuries, then you could be entitled to make a claim.  There are usually time limits that apply to personal injury claims so it is advisable to speak to a personal injury solicitor who can assess your case as soon as possible. For personal injury cases, the time limit is generally three-years, beginning from the date that your accident occurred.

Manufacturing Industry Claim Compensation

Compensation is decided on a case by case basis, taking into account the severity of the injuries and the impact that these injuries have had upon the sufferer. The pain and suffering causes by your injuries will first be taken into, as will the impact of the injuries upon your ability to function.

For example, if you can no longer complete certain tasks as you would have done before, or if the incident has impacted upon your mental health, then this could be accounted for through compensation. Compensation will also take financial costs into account.

If you have had to pay for treatment or have lost income due to being unable to work, then compensation may be able to cover these financial losses. To view general compensation estimates for injury types, visit our compensation calculator.
