Work injury claims and accident compensation
If you are hurt at work or have an accident at work or have developed a disease as a result of poor working conditions you could be entitled to compensation.
Employers have a duty of care to ensure your working conditions are safe and will not cause you harm.
If you are worried about losing your job because of making a claim for work injury compensation, your worries are unnecessary.
All employers are required to have employer’s liability insurance. If you make a work injury claim against your employers, their insurance company will pay your compensation, not your employers.
You need not worry about your employer sacking you or victimising you. Action can be taken against employers who victimise employees simply because they are making a claim for compensation because of an accident at work.
