The main reason why people go to work is so that they can create an income that they can live on. If due to some kind of incompetence or oversight of the employer the employee is no longer able to earn the money they need to then it is the job of the employer to compensate them for any monies lost at the time and in the future. The way an employee whether current or previous is able to do this is through an accident at work claim.
Examples of accidents where people have successfully won claims against their current or previous employers are if they have fallen and caused injury on a wet floor that was not properly signposted or ended up with long term health problems due to certain chemical exposure that they were not given proper equipment to be safeguarded against.
There are many other reasons why people have been awarded money because of the injuries they have sustained. Many of them are to do with the insufficient following of health and safety guidelines that all employers should follow according to the law.
If you are working at height then you should be given equipment to safeguard you from injury. If this is something that you have not been offered then your employer has broken the law which means you have a claim opportunity.
