What is an Industrial Injury Claim?

An industrial injury claim is a way for workers in the UK to get help after getting hurt at work. It is a legal process through which employees can seek compensation if they were injured due to their employer's negligence. This claim aims to ensure that companies take responsibility and provide workers with financial support for recovery, medical expenses, and lost wages.


There are two main types of claims. First is the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB). This is a no-fault benefit from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It helps people who are disabled or sick due to a work-related accident or a disease caused by their job. You don’t need to prove your employer did anything wrong to get this benefit. You can even claim it years after the accident or illness, as long as the condition qualifies.


The second type is a personal injury claim. This is for workers who were hurt because their employer did not provide a safe workplace. By claiming industrial injury, you can get compensation for things like lost earnings, medical costs, and other problems caused by the injury. Common accidents include slips, trips, falls, or being hit by objects at work.


Both types of claims help workers, but an IIDB is a benefit you get without blaming the employer, while a personal injury claim requires showing employer negligence.

Common Types of Industrial Accidents and Injuries

If you are injured at work, it’s essential to understand the most common accidents and injuries in the UK. Knowing this can help you claim an industrial injury claim or an industrial injury disablement benefit (IIDB). Here are the main types of accidents and injuries:


● Slips, Trips, and Falls: These are the most common causes of injuries at work. They can happen on the same level or from a height. Wet floors, clutter, poor lighting, and uneven surfaces often cause them. These accidents can lead to sprains, strains, broken bones, and head injuries.

● Injuries from Machinery: Machines without proper guards can cause entanglement, crushing, or cuts. These injuries can be severe and may allow you to claim industrial injuries if negligence is involved.

● Manual Handling Injuries: Lifting, carrying, or moving heavy objects can cause back injuries, sprains, and repetitive strain injuries (RSI). Workers with reduced earnings due to these injuries may be entitled to compensation.

● Struck by Moving or Falling Objects: Workers can be hit by falling tools, unsecured loads, or moving vehicles. These accidents can cause bruises, fractures, and serious head or spinal injuries.

● Industrial Diseases: Long-term exposure at work can lead to diseases like industrial deafness, Vibration White Finger, or illnesses from asbestos exposure. Some of these conditions may be entitled to an industrial injury claim or IIDB.

● Exposure to Harmful Substances: Contact with chemicals, fumes, or dust can cause burns, respiratory problems, or skin diseases. These injuries often allow workers to claim negligent employers.

● Factory Accidents: These include accidents involving forklifts, conveyor belts, or assembly lines. They can result in serious injuries and allow you to pursue personal injury compensation.


Remember, there are time limits for making a claim. A qualified solicitor can help you check if you can claim and guide you through the process using your National Insurance and evidence of your accident at work.

Your Employer's Duty of Care Under UK Law

In the UK, every employer has a legal duty of care to protect their employees. This is set out under the Health and Safety at Work Act. Employers must take all reasonable steps to keep staff safe and healthy. If they fail, it may be considered employer negligence, and you could be entitled to make a claim.


A duty of care means employers must:

● Provide a Safe Workplace: The building and work areas should be free from hazards and risks.

● Perform Risk Assessments: Employers must check for dangers and take steps to prevent accidents. Businesses with five or more staff must document this.

● Offer Proper Training and Supervision:Employees should know how to do their jobs safely. Instruction and guidance are key.

● Maintain Safe Equipment: Machines, tools, and materials must be suitable and adequately maintained.

● Provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):Staff must have the proper safety gear for their work.

● Support Health and Well-Being: Employers should offer first-aid facilities and protect employees from physical and psychological harm.

● Prepare for Emergencies: Clear plans should be in place for accidents or other incidents.


Under UK law, the phrase “all reasonable steps” means doing what is fair and practical to prevent harm. What is reasonable depends on the work, hazards, and risk of injury.


If your employer fails these duties, it may count as employer negligence, giving you the right to claim compensation for injuries or illness. A knowledgeable solicitor can guide you through your industrial injury claim and explain your rights under UK law.

What Can You Claim For? (Industrial Injury Compensation)

If you are injured at work or develop a disease because of your job, you may be able to claim for industrial injury in the UK. There are two main types of compensation: general damages and special damages. These are part of industrial injury compensation claims that help you recover both physical and financial losses.


● General Damages: This covers pain, suffering, and how the injury affects your life. It includes the emotional impact, reduced quality of life, and any loss of independence. For example, if you have industrial deafness or Vibration White Finger, you can get compensation for ongoing discomfort and challenges in daily life.

● Special Damages: This covers financial losses caused by the accident or disease. You can claim for:

○ Lost earnings if you can’t work or need time off.

○ Future loss of earning potential if the injury affects your career.

○ Medical costs like private treatment, physiotherapy, or rehabilitation.

○ Care costs if you need help at home.

○ Travel expenses for hospital visits or medical appointments.

○ Home or vehicle adaptations are needed because of the injury.


You can make industrial injury compensation claims for accidents caused by employer negligence, such as slips, trips, falls, or injuries from unsafe machinery. You can also claim for illnesses caused by your work environment, including:


● Asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma or asbestosis.

● Industrial deafness from loud noise.

● Vibration injuries, like Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.

● Industrial asthma from dust, fumes, or chemicals.


Both employees and self-employed workers may be able to claim. For the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB), employees must be at least 14% disabled. For claims based on employer negligence, a solicitor can help you gather evidence and submit your claim.


Making a claim early is essential because there are time limits. If approved, compensation can help with lost income, medical costs, care, and other financial losses. These claims give you support while holding negligent employers accountable.

Industrial Injury Claim FAQs

In the UK, you usually have three years from the date of your accident at work or the date you knew your injury was linked to work, such as with industrial diseases. This includes illnesses like industrial deafness, asbestos exposure, or Vibration White Finger. Acting quickly helps your solicitor gather evidence and support your industrial injury claim.

Employers sometimes claim the accident was your fault. Under UK law, employers are required to provide a safe system of work. Even if you were partly responsible (contributory negligence), you can still claim industrial injury. Compensation may be reduced slightly, but our solicitors will fight to get you the full amount you deserve.

Yes. Responsibility lies with whoever controls your work environment and your safety. Even if you are not a direct employee, you can still make an industrial injury claim. Our team identifies the correct liable party to ensure you get the compensation you are entitled to.

It is illegal for employers to fire you for making a genuine industrial injury claim. Dismissing you for claiming could be considered unfair dismissal. This gives you extra grounds for a claim in addition to your industrial injury compensation.

 Always report accidents at work immediately and seek medical attention. Keep records of your injuries, financial losses, and witnesses. Early action makes the claims process smoother and increases your chances of a successful industrial injury claim.
