Violence at Work Compensation Claims
Statistically speaking it is rare to suffer violence in the workplace but unfortunately, people do suffer from assaults and attacks by others while at work.
These types of claims are often traumatic experiences that can involve severe physical and emotional injuries, impacting hugely on lives.
Details of the type of workplaces that are most at risk for violent incidents at work are listed by the Health and Safety Executive. Those who work in the service industry, education, the care profession, those acting in authority, security workers, collection and delivery companies are all deemed most at risk.
An assault could mean you have been attacked by a fellow worker, a supervisor or a customer/client. In some cases, this could mean that your employer has failed to provide a safe working environment. A personal injury claim must be made within a strict 3-year time limit. We recommend that you contact us as soon as possible.
