Questions & Answers

Are there time limits for making a factory injury claim?

There is a three-year time limit for making most personal injury claims and this applies to factory accident compensation claims.

This means you have three years to make a claim, starting either from the date of your accident or from when you first become aware of the injury.

In compensation cases involving injuries that develop over time, such as an asbestos-related disease, it may be several years before you become aware of the injury.

If you are unsure if you can make a claim, get in touch to discuss your case with one of our specialist solicitors.

‍

Can I make a factory injury compensation claim?

If your employer has failed in their duty of care by not providing a safe working environment, they could be liable if you are hurt.

For example, if your employer has failed to carry out appropriate risk assessments and you were injured as a result, you would have grounds to make a claim for compensation.

If you think you are eligible for compensation from your employer, start the claims process today by completing our online claim form or, if you’d prefer, you can call us to talk through your situation first.

How much compensation can I get for a factory accident?

The amount of compensation awarded in factory accident claims depends on several factors, including:

  • The severity of your injury
  • The impact it has had on your life - such as loss of earnings or psychological trauma
  • The extent of your employer’s negligence.

Every case is different and the amount of compensation differs from case to case.

To get a better idea of how much compensation you may be eligible for, get in touch to discuss your case in more detail.
