Injuring Yourself With Yourself?
Accident claims are big business in the United Kingdom, totalling more than 6 billion annually, made up of road accidents, workplace accidents and illness, slips, trips and falls, medical negligence and a number of others too.
Are We Really THAT Accident Prone?
The Accident Claims industry is worth more than 6 billion every single year in the UK alone. These claims range from trips and falls on poorly maintained pavements, to accidents at work owing to an employer’s failure to meet Health and Safety standards right through to a whole host of road traffic accidents where someone has been injured in an accident that was someone else’s fault. There’s a whole host of other injuries that occur too, that may result in a personal injury claim being made. So we’re certainly no stranger to accidents here in Britain. The personal injury claims industry has a large media presence through TV and Internet advertising. But what we tend to hear much less about are the accidents we bring on ourselves!
Workplace Accident Claims Explained
As far as the UK is concerned, the accident claims industry happens to be worth approximately 6 billion every year. Quite a reasonable percentage of this amount is built on the basis of workplace accident claims. The question arises that why these compensatory claims over accidents that take place or occur at work are made, and if the employee is actually the defaulter or not.
