When it comes to workplace accidents, the majority think about slips, trips, or falls. But unusual work injuries can happen at any time and in unexpected ways. Under the leadership of DS Bal, who compensated £8.6 million for his clients, believes that even rare and complex workplace accidents deserve justice.
If you have suffered from an uncommon or unexpected accident at work, you may still have strong work injury compensation rights. Understanding your legal position is the first step toward starting your claim.
What are Unusual Work Injuries?
By now, you’re probably wondering, what is an unusual work accident? And what are my work injury compensation rights? Not all accidents at work fall into common categories like falling from height or machinery accidents. Some unusual cases include:
-
- Unexpected tasks that cause repetitive strain
-
- Chemical exposure or burns in non-typical roles
-
- Injuries from faulty safety equipment
-
- Psychological harm caused by workplace conditions
-
- Accidents caused by unusual workplace layouts or hazards
Even if your accident does not appear on a standard list of workplace injuries, you still have the right to seek compensation. With Claim Today, we will help educate you on your work injury compensation rights and get what you deserve.

Unusual Work Injuries Elgible for Compensation
Under UK law, your employer has a duty of care to protect you at work. This means providing a safe environment , proper training, and equipment. If they fail to do so, you may be entitled to compensation.
Your rights include:
-
- The right to make a compensation claim without fear of retaliation.
-
- The right to legal representation and advice.
-
- Your right to seek medical treatment after your injury.
-
- make sure your accident is reported and officially recorded.
Remember, even if your case seems unusual your work injury compensation rights are just as valid as those for more common accidents.
