Employees, agency workers, contractors and apprentices may be entitled to claim compensation, even if they are new to the role or working on a temporary basis.

Compensation in accident at work claims is intended to reflect pain and suffering as well as financial losses such as lost income, medical expenses and future loss of earnings where work is affected long term.

Construction Injury Claims

Construction sites present a higher risk of serious injury due to the nature of the work involved.
