What is an Industrial Accident Claim*?

An industrial accident claim, also known as an accident at work claim, is a legal process initiated by an employee who has suffered an injury or illness due to an incident in the workplace. This claim seeks compensation for injuries sustained as a result of accidents such as slips, trips, falls, equipment malfunctions, or exposure to hazardous substances. The compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering.

Steps to Take After an Industrial Accident

If an industrial accident occurs, the following steps should be taken:

1. Seek Medical Attention: Immediately seek medical help for any injuries, no matter how minor they may seem.
2. Report the Incident: Inform your employer about the accident and ensure it is recorded in the workplace accident record book or on an accident form.
3. Gather Evidence: Collect evidence from the accident scene, including photos, witness contact information, and details of how the incident occurred.
4. Keep Records: Maintain records of all medical treatments, expenses, and any communication with your employer regarding the accident.
5. Contact a Solicitor: Speak with a solicitor at Sherwin O’ Riordan as soon as possible to guide you through the claims process

Time Limit for Filing an Industrial Claim

The standard time limit for filing an accident at work claim is two years from the date of the accident. However, if the injury was not immediately apparent, the two-year period may begin from the date you became aware of the injury. It is crucial to act promptly and seek legal advice to ensure your claim is filed within the applicable time frame.
