An accident compensation calculator is the best way to get a rough idea of how much compensation you could be entitled to if you make a successful personal injury.

As individuals spend most of their time at work, it is understandable that many accidents happen in the workplace. In fact, almost half of all accidents that occur happen in the workplace. Using an accident compensation calculator can be the first that you in the claims process, and can often help you to understand the kind of compensation you could receive for the injuries sustained whilst at work. If you would like further clarification about how to use the accident compensation calculator then please contact the experts at Work Accident Claim Solicitors today you will be able to advise you.

If you are involved in any form of accident at work then the first thing you should do is ensure that you report the accident by filling out the accident book. The accident book is mandatory for companies with more than 10 employees, but if your company does not have an accident book then make a note of the accident and give a copy to your employer. More serious injuries that occur at work must be reported to the Incident Contact Centre of the Health and Safety Executive; your employer should advise you on how to do this. Once you have taken a detailed account of your accident, and any injuries that you sustained, then you can speak to one of the experts at Work Accident Claim Solicitors who will be able to use the accident compensation calculator to advise you on how much compensation you may be eligible to secure with the help of their personal injury experts.

Injuries and accidents in the workplace can include but are not limited to:

• Injuring yourself whilst carrying or lifting heavy objects - it is important that your employer provides you with the necessary training regarding lifting and carrying heavy and cumbersome objects to avoid injury.
• Sustaining an injury whilst using poorly maintained equipment or facilities - if any of the equipment or facilities that you use is broken it is important for your employer to fix or replace them; if they do not do this then using the equipment may result in serious injury.
• Injuring yourself by slip trips and falls on slippery floors or grounds - if a spill is not cleaned up, or an uneven floor is not fixed then you may injure yourself by tripping or slipping which can lead to broken bones and head injuries.

• Chemical burns or poisoning: if you work with chemicals and have not been properly trained or given the appropriate equipment and clothing then you may burn your skin if it comes into contact with the chemicals, or poison yourself if you ingest or inhale them.
• Sustaining an injury from falling from a high platform: if you work in an industry which involves you working on high platforms such as ladders, stairways or roofs then you may sustain a serious head or spinal injury if you fall.
• Falling over objects left in gangways or loose wires: this is most likely to occur if you work in a factory or office building, and can lead to broken bones as well as many other injuries.

It is important to remember that due to the current legislation surrounding employee health and safety, your employer must aim to ensure that all the work you carry out is done in the safest way possible and ensure that they provide you with all the equipment and materials needed to carry out your job safely. This also includes any training that you may need to help you carry out your job safely, including appropriate health and safety training, how to lift and carry heavy objects, how to keep your work area safe, how to handle chemicals, how to use necessary machinery and what to do if an accident occurs.
