Understand your legal rights after sustaining an injury while working in the UK, regardless of your immigration status. The full guide to claiming compensation.
Can I Claim Compensation For Sustaining An Injury While Working If I’m Not a UK Citizen?
Yes, you can. And you should if you sustained an injury while working in the UK.
Every day, migrant workers across England and Wales sustain injuries while doing tough, high-risk jobs, often with little training, long hours, and unsafe conditions. But many stay silent, afraid that claiming will affect their visa, job, or future in the UK.
At Claim Today, we want to make one thing absolutely clear:
👉 Your immigration status does not affect your right to claim compensation.
UK law protects all workers, including:
- Migrants on work or student visas
- Agency workers
- Undocumented workers in certain cases
If you’ve been injured while working in the UK and didn’t cause it, you may be entitled to compensation, medical support, and workplace protection.
Real Support for Real People
We’ve worked with thousands of migrant workers since 1999. Many feared speaking up at first, worried they’d lose their job or face legal problems. But once they understood their rights, they were able to claim safely, heal fully, and move forward confidently.
Case Example: Maria, a cleaner from Romania, slipped on a wet hospital floor with no warning sign. Her employer ignored her injury at work in the UK. We helped her claim quietly and legally, all while protecting her job and providing language support.
She told us:
I didn’t know I could speak up. They made it easy for me. I got therapy, money for recovery, and I still work with peace of mind.
What the Law Says: Your Right to Claim After Sustaining An Injury While Working
UK employment law clearly states that all workers have the right to a safe workplace regardless of where they’re from. If you were injured at work in the UK because:
- You weren’t trained properly
- Equipment was faulty
- You were overworked or under-protected
- There were safety failures
You have a right to claim. And no, making a claim will not automatically affect your visa or immigration status. All our cases are handled with full confidentiality.
