What is an Office Accident Claim?

An office accident claim is a type of personal injury claim for employees who are hurt at work. It happens when an injury is caused by employer negligence or failure to follow their duty of care. This could include unsafe floors, poor lighting, faulty equipment, or inadequate safety training.

Office accident claims cover injuries like slips, trips, and falls, back pain from poor ergonomics, repetitive strain injuries, or accidents with office machines. The goal is to get justice and financial support for your recovery, including medical costs, lost earnings, and care if needed.

Employers must keep the office safe, maintain equipment, provide proper training, and have insurance to cover accidents. As an employee, you have the right to make a claim without fear of losing your job. If your employer failed to protect you, you can seek compensation to help you recover physically and financially.

Common Types of Office Accidents and Injuries

In the UK, office accidents happen more often than many people think. Making office accident injury claims can help you get compensation if you are hurt because of unsafe conditions or employer negligence.

Common types of workplace injury in offices include:

● Slips, Trips, and Falls: The most frequent accidents. Wet floors, loose cables, or cluttered walkways can cause sprains, bruises, fractures, or head injuries. (Slip trip fall)

● Manual Handling Injuries: Lifting heavy boxes of paper, office equipment, or files can lead to back pain, strains, or hernias.

● Struck by Moving or Falling Objects: Items from poorly stacked shelves or cupboards can fall and cause injuries.

● Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI): Long hours at a desk or computer can cause carpal tunnel, tendonitis, or muscle strain.

● Electrical Accidents: Faulty wiring, overloaded sockets, or broken office machines can cause shocks or burns.

Other risks include exposure to cleaning chemicals or malfunctioning equipment, though these are less common. Most of these injuries are preventable if employers follow health and safety rules, provide training, and maintain a safe office.

What Can You Claim For? (Office Accident Compensation)

If you are hurt at work, you may be able to make an office accident claim to get compensation. At Callisto Claims, we guide you through the claims process so you can focus on recovering.

There are two main types of office accident compensation claims:

● General Damages: This covers the pain, suffering, and impact on your life caused by the office injury. Examples include:

○ Back injuries from lifting heavy printers or boxes

○ Sprains, fractures, or bruising from slips, trips, and falls

○ Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) from poor desk setups

○ Emotional stress or anxiety after an accident at work

● Special Damages: This covers all financial losses caused by the office accident. Examples include:

○ Lost earnings if you cannot work

○ Medical expenses, such as physiotherapy or treatment

○ Travel costs to appointments

○ Costs for care at home or equipment to help with daily tasks

○ Any other costs caused by the office injury

Next Steps:

● Record the accident in the accident book.

● Seek medical attention.

● Gather evidence, like photos or faulty equipment details.

● Contact a solicitor to make a claim.

You may be able to claim if your employer acted negligently, provided unsafe equipment, or ignored health and safety rules. We handle win no fee personal injury claims so you can claim for compensation without worry. Get in touch today to start your office accident claim.

Your Employer's Duty of Care in the UK

In the UK, every employer has a legal duty of care to protect their employees. This means they must do everything reasonably possible to keep workers safe while at work. Under UK law, the main rules are set out in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

An employer’s duty of care includes:

● Providing safe equipment and tools for work

● Keeping the workplace and premises free from hazards

● Offering proper training for tasks, including manual handling tasks

● Conducting regular risk assessments to identify and reduce dangers

If your employer fails to follow these rules and you get hurt, this breach of duty of care can make your office accident claim or manual handling injury claim valid.

For example, if unsafe floors, poor equipment, or lack of training caused your accident at work, you may be entitled to compensation. The law is clear: employers must protect you, and if they don’t, you can make a claim.

At Callisto Claims, our specialist solicitors review your situation to see if your injury claim meets the requirements under UK law. We handle the claims process from start to finish to help you get the compensation you deserve.
