Assaults in the Workplace Claims

Can I claim for being Assaulted in the Workplace?

There are some 300,000 assaults each year that occur in a place of work and Employers who fail to address or minimise the risk of violence against their workers may be liable if assaults in their workplace occur.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) defines a workplace assault as ‘An incident in which a person is assaulted in circumstances relating to their work’.

If you have sustained an injury due to an assault at your place of work, by colleagues, customers or service users, we could help you claim compensation from your employer, for your injury and you may be able to make a No Win No Fee claim.

We can offer independent legal advice on whether you have a case for workplace assault compensation against your employer.

Even if there are insufficient grounds to hold your employer liable for your injury we are also experts in Criminal Injuries Compensation so as a matter of course we will evaluate your claim against both criteria and advise you appropriately.

If we can help you claim compensation for your injury you may be able to make a No Win No Fee claim.

How much will my workplace injury claim be worth?

As with most other personal injury claims there is no set rule for how much compensation you might receive for an injury sustained whilst aboard.

The amount of settlement will depend on the extent of your injuries, how it has impacted your life and how much time a full recovery will take.

However, in addition to damages for any injury, pain and suffering, you may also be able to claim for any loss of earnings as well as for the cost of any medical treatment or rehabilitation that may be required and any additional transport costs.
