According to latest figures published by the HSE via the Labour Force Survey, there were over 440,000 non-fatal injuries to workers during 2020/21, with 25% of these accidents requiring employees to take off more than a week from work to recover.

Not all of these work related accidents occurred in high-risk industrial environments like factories and construction sites but in offices, and the majority of them could have been prevented.

Almost 30% of non-fatal injuries during this period were caused by slips, falls and tripping.

All types of workplaces and offices have objects lying around that can cause someone to slip or trip over, like bags, bins and boxes, but it’s important to keep walkways clear from any potential trip hazards to prevent you and your fellow colleagues from having an accident.

It is important that procedures are in place to ensure if there are spillages or rain water in foyers that there are wet floor signs clearly displayed until the area has been cleared up and is dry.

The majority of tripping injury in an office accidents are totally preventable, but sadly still so many people are seriously injured as a result.

The exact amount of compensation you may claim depends on a number of factors, including the type of accident you have been involved in, the severity of your injuries, and your recovery.

Every claim is different, however, compensation awards for personal injury claims are based on a set of national guidelines called the Judicial College Guidelines. These guidelines are published for the assessment of general damages in personal injury cases.

The latest set of guidelines (the 15^th edition) were published at the end of 2019.  Some example guideline amounts for injuries are as follows:

• Back injury recovering in up to 2 years – £1,950 to £6,290
• Moderate arm fracture with a full recovery – £6,190 to £18,020
• Finger fracture which leads to a loss of grip function and dexterity – £10,380 – 15,990
• A severe elbow injury that leads to significant disability – £33,430 – £46,780
• Serious back injury causing significant permanent impact – £59,120 to £70,490

In addition to compensation for pain and suffering, we are also able to help you claim for “special damages”. These damages include any loss of past and future earnings, your pensions and medical care. Special damages often make up a very large percentage of the total claim value and in some circumstances can amount to millions of pounds. You can read more about the value of personal injury claims by reading our claims calculator page.
