Frequently asked Questions
Why should I make a construction site claim?
If you have been injured due to another’s negligence, then it is your right to claim compensation. The compensation could help pay for any medical costs, loss of earning and any other costs caused by the accident. If your employer has failed to make the environment safe, then making a claim can lessen the chance of this happening to someone else.
If I claim against my employer, will I risk losing my job?
There is a legal safeguard in place for unfair dismissal, and if you claim against your current employer, the compensation pay-out is the responsibility of said insurance policy provider, not your employer. So, if your employer does choose to dismiss you, they must be able to justify their reasons about your claim.
