Why Temp Workers Must Know Their Legal Rights—Full Guide
Temporary workers are the backbone of many UK industries filling roles in construction, hospitality, retail, warehouses, events, and public services. But when injuries happen, many temp workers don’t realize they still have the right to make a public liability claim.
Whether you slipped on an unmarked wet floor in a council building, were hit by falling stock in a supermarket, or suffered a back injury from unsafe lifting at a venue you may be entitled to compensation.
At Claim Today, we’ve been helping agency and migrant workers make successful claims for over 25 years. We understand your challenges and speak your language literally and legally.
What Is a Public Liability Claim?
A public liability claim is made when someone is injured due to unsafe conditions in a public space or premises that should have been made safe by the responsible party. These spaces include:
- Shops and supermarkets
- Car parks and walkways
- Council offices or public buildings
- Work venues (when not directly employed by the company)
- Events, festivals, or temporary job sites
You don’t need to be a permanent employee to claim. If someone failed to keep the space safe and you were injured, you have legal grounds to act.
What Counts as a Public Liability Accident?
Here are some common incidents that lead to claims:
- Slips or trips on wet, uneven, or poorly lit surfaces
- Falling objects from shelves or fixtures
- Injuries due to poor signage, barriers, or crowd control
- Manual handling injuries at public venues
- Broken or unsafe public furniture (e.g., benches, doors, handrails)
If you were working under agency terms in a space owned or managed by someone else, you can still claim.
Do Temp Workers Really Have the Right to Claim?
Yes. Legally, all employers and property owners owe a duty of care to keep public spaces safe for workers, visitors, and contractors including temporary and agency staff.
Even if you don’t have a contract with the venue where the injury happened, they may still be liable. Our team of expert solicitors will investigate the full chain of responsibility to ensure the correct party pays.
Time Limits for Making a Public Liability Claim
You usually have 3 years from the date of your accident to make a claim. However:
- If you only recently became aware of the injury (e.g., a back or repetitive strain injury), the time limit may start from the date of diagnosis
- If you’re claiming on behalf of someone under 18, there’s more flexibility
Act quickly—the sooner we start , the stronger your case.
How Much Compensation Can I Claim?
Compensation depends on the severity and impact of your injury. You may be entitled to:
- Pain and suffering compensation
- Loss of earnings
- Travel and treatment expenses
- Rehabilitation or therapy
- Long-term care needs
