What Counts as a Workplace Injury?

Definition Box:
Workplace Injury: Any physical or psychological harm suffered during the course of employment, including slips, trips, falls, repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), and emotional trauma.

A common myth is that only serious or visible injuries deserve compensation. In truth, the law is designed to protect workers from all preventable harm even if it seems minor at first.

Legal Test for Injury Compensation

To claim, you usually need to show:

  1. You were injured while at work or performing work-related tasks
  2. The injury happened due to someone else’s negligence (employer, contractor, etc.)
  3. The injury impacted your health, work, or finances

This applies to:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Cuts, bruises, or burns
  • Slips, trips, and falls
  • Mild head injuries or whiplash
  • Anxiety or PTSD after an incident

Why Minor Injuries Can Have Major Impact

Many workers ignore smaller injuries until they become serious

  • Delayed symptoms: Some injuries (like RSI or concussions) worsen over time
  • Loss of income: Time off even a few days can hurt household budgets
  • Mental strain: Feeling unsupported or ignored worsens recovery
  • Denied claims: Employers may deny

HSE 2023/24: The Bigger Picture

  • 604,000 workplace injuries reported in England & Wales
  • 138 fatalities in the workplace
  • 31% of injuries from slips, trips, and falls
  • 8% from falls from height

Among these, many cases involved employer denials but they’re not insurmountable. Our experienced workplace accident solicitors help workers fight back with expert legal guidance.

Long-Term Consequences of Seemingly Small Injuries

An untreated minor injury can:

  • Turn into a chronic condition
  • Cause permanent nerve or joint damage
  • Lead to job loss or career change
  • Trigger psychological trauma (especially in unsafe environments)

This is why early reporting and legal advice are essential.

FAQs  Answered by Workplace Injury lawyers

  • Can I claim if my injury was small?

  • What if my employer denies my claim?

You’re not alone. Many employers initially deny responsibility. With our help, denials can be overturned.

Typically within 3 years of the accident but earlier is better. Exceptions apply, especially in psychological or delayed-diagnosis cases.
