Injured at Work? How To Claim

If you’ve suffered a work injury in the UK, your first instinct might be fear  fear of losing your job, fear of being judged, or fear that making a claim for compensation will ruin your relationship with your employer.

Let me tell you ,
You have the legal right to claim  and you cannot be fired just for standing up for your health and safety.

At Claim Today, we’ve spent over 25 years helping UK workers  especially migrant and agency workers  understand their rights, receive fair compensation, and move forward with dignity and efforts .

What the Law Says: Your Right to Claim Safely

Under UK employment law, employers are not allowed to dismiss or punish you simply because you’ve filed a personal injury claim. This protection applies whether you work full-time, part-time, or on a temporary basis.

If you were injured due to:

  • Unsafe working conditions
  • Lack of proper training
  • Employer negligence
  • Unusual or traumatic incidents on site

You are legally entitled to seek compensation. And if your employer retaliates, you may have grounds for unfair  discrimination claims too.

Common Unusual Work Injuries in the UK

Not all injuries are visible or  very normal. Here are some cases we see too often:

  • Chemical burns or exposure
  • Electric shocks from faulty wiring
  • Violence or trauma at the workplace
  • Mental health breakdown due to overwork or abuse
  • Injuries from defective machinery or tools
  • Road accidents

Who’s Most at Risk?

Anyone can be affected, but we’ve seen higher risks among:

  • Cleaners, carers, and kitchen staff
  • Construction and factory workers
  • Warehouse and delivery drivers
  • New hires or untrained staff
  • Non-English speakers unaware of health and safety rules

You are not alone. Many others have gone through the same  and received the compensation and respect they deserved.
