Statutory compensation law provides advantages to both employees and employers. A schedule is drawn out to state the amount and forms of compensation to which an employee is entitled, if he/she has sustained the stipulated kinds of injuries.

Employers can buy insurance against such occurrences

A related issue is that the same physical loss can have a markedly different impact on the earning capacity of individuals in different professions. You could continue working in some trades and not others with the same injury, so this over all compensation claim is a bit unfair.you may be a painter and the loss of an eye may effect you more than someone who is a machinist.

Standing up for your rights at work can be hard with some employers did you know you have the right to: know about dangerous materials or equipment used in your work? It is the responsibility of the employer to provide you as the employee with all related information. You as an employee can refuse unsafe work. If you believe your work is unsafe you can refuse that work until the situation is corrected. You as an employee must, however, tell your supervisor immediately. You cannot be suspended, fired, or refused pay for refusing unsafe work.

If you are fired then you have the right to be compensated. You could make a claim for unfair dismissal.

If during the course of your work you get injured you must Get proper medical treatment immediately - go to the nearest first aid station or to a doctor or hospital. Your employer is responsible for providing transport to medical treatment. Report the incident to your supervisor.

Why should you report the incident to your supervisor? Each workplace has to have a log in which to log such injuries so the relevant insurance can be paid to assist workers if they get hurt while on the job. You should then be able to pursue a personal injury claim against your employer if the accident was due the employer’s carelessness and was of no fault of your own. This can also include you being injured due to the stupidity of another member of the work force if your employer knew that this employee was likely to put you at risk either by stupidity or an illness or disability.

This is one of the reasons that you should get a solicitor that deals with the kind of compensation claim you are claiming for as a specialty .
