What to do if you suffer and accident at work

If you are unlucky enough to be involved in an accident at work, this is a guide to what you should do.

Your first priority is to obtain medical attention if you have been injured.  Ensure that you visit a local hospital or GP surgery and get whatever treatment you need.


If you feel that wish to pursue a claim for personal injury compensation as a result of your accident at work, Rogers Personal Injury Solicitors Dublin suggest that you take the following steps:


Ask that an accident report form be compiled.  Only sign this if the contents are true and represent what really happened.


If there were any witnesses, get their contact details in case you need to get statements from them.


Check if there was CCTV footage, and ask that this be preserved.


As said before, ensure that medical attention is sought.


If you do decide to pursue a personal injury claim as a result of an accident at work, we understand that this can make things a bit awkward in the workplace.  Only speak with management if they ask about what appended, do not entertain the workplace gossip mongers!
