    Assaulted At Work Compensation Claims

    If you have been assaulted in the workplace then it is possible that you could make an assaulted-at-work compensation claim against your employer. A personal injury claim must be made within a strict 3-year time limit. We recommend that you contact us as soon as possible.

    The success of your assaulted at work claim will depend on the circumstances of the incident and whether or not blame can be clearly established.

    Are You At Risk Of Being Assaulted At Work?

    Some job roles mean workers are more exposed to the risks of suffering being assaulted at work. Your job may be a care assistant who is looking after people with challenging behaviour; you may be employed as a police officer who has to deal with people who become angry and upset, or you may work as a security guard faced with confrontational situations.

    There are some instances where your employer cannot be held responsible for your violent assault. However, if your employer was aware of a violent past from an employee or it did not provide certain training or protective equipment necessary for the job, then they may be to blame for your assault.

    Your Employer’s Duty To You

    In all workplace establishments, your employer has a duty to protect employees from any potential safety hazards. The law also imposes upon employers, the requirement to ensure employees are safe from harm like violent acts (assaults) from other employees.

    If your assault injuries have caused you pain and suffering; if you have had to buy medical equipment in relation to your injury or if you have had to have time off work as a result of your employer’s negligent actions then you may be eligible for workplace compensation. All of these facts and the extent to which you have suffered will be considered in a compensation settlement amount.

    Making A Workplace Assault Claim

    If you believe that you could have a valid claim for being assaulted at work then it is advisable to speak to a personal injury lawyer as soon as you can. Almost all personal injury cases must have occurred in the last three years in order to be valid and in all cases, third-party blame must be clearly demonstrated.
