Who Can Make A Factory Accident Compensation Claim?

A factory accident compensation claim can be made by full-time and part-time employees, temporary workers, and agency staff who have suffered injuries due to unsafe conditions in a factory.

Contractors, delivery personnel, and visitors to the factory may also be eligible to claim if their injury resulted from hazardous conditions. Even if you are self-employed but working under unsafe conditions in a factory, you may still have a valid claim.

How Much Compensation Can I Claim For A Factory Accident?

The compensation for a factory accident claim ranges from £1,000 for minor injuries to over £500,000 for severe cases, such as amputations or life-altering conditions.

Serious injuries like crush injuries, burns, and falls result in higher payouts due to their long-term impact on a person’s ability to work and quality of life. Compensation also considers loss of earnings, covering wages lost due to reduced earning capacity or permanent inability to work.

Medical and rehabilitation costs, including treatment and physiotherapy, are included to support recovery and ensure financial security.

What Are The Most Common Causes Of Factory Accident Claims?

Factory accident claims can happen due to employer negligence or unsafe workplace conditions, which include:

• Machinery accidents – Faulty or poorly maintained equipment, lack of protective guarding, or inadequate training, leading to crush injuries and amputations.
• Slips, trips, and falls – Spills, scattered debris, or poor lighting, resulting in broken bones, head injuries, or long-term mobility issues.
• Manual handling injuries – Improper lifting techniques, repetitive strain, or excessive physical exertion, causing chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders.
• Exposure to hazardous substances – Contact with toxic chemicals, dust, or extreme noise levels, leading to respiratory diseases, skin conditions, and hearing loss.

How Do I Start A Factory Accident Claim?

Starting a factory accident claim requires reporting the accident to your supervisor or employer and ensuring that it is recorded in the factory’s accident log. Seeking immediate medical attention is equally important, both for your health and to provide official records of your injuries.

Gathering evidence can significantly improve the chances of a successful claim. Taking photographs of the accident scene, collecting witness statements, and obtaining any available CCTV footage can help establish liability. A solicitor will then file the claim on your behalf, ensuring that all necessary legal documentation is completed correctly.

How Long Do I Have To Make A Factory Accident Claim?

A factory accident claim can be filed within three years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions for cases involving workplace illnesses or industrial diseases, where symptoms may take years to develop.

If the injured individual is under 18, the time limit does not begin until their 18th birthday, meaning they have until age 21 to make a claim. Additionally, if the injured person has reduced mental capacity, there may be no time limit for making a claim.

Can I Make A Factory Accident Claim On A No Win, No Fee Basis?

Factory accident claims can be pursued on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning there are no upfront legal costs, and you only pay if the claim is successful.

If your claim is successful, legal fees are deducted as a pre-agreed percentage from your compensation. However, if your claim is unsuccessful, you owe nothing, ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent you from seeking justice.

Can My Employer Fire Me For Making A Factory Accident Claim?

For making a factory accident claim, your employer cannot legally dismiss it, as employees are protected under UK employment law, which prohibits employers from retaliating against workers who seek compensation after a workplace accident.

If an employer demotes, dismisses, or penalises you for filing a claim, they could face legal action for unfair dismissal or workplace discrimination. Making a claim also helps improve workplace safety, ensuring better conditions for all factory workers.
