Your Employer’s Duty of Care
Your employer has a legal duty to provide a safe working environment. This includes carrying out suitable risk assessments, providing appropriate safety equipment, ensuring your colleagues are properly trained and maintaining safe working practices throughout the workplace.
If your employer failed in this duty and you have been injured as a result, you may be able to make a claim for an accident at work. It is important to note that this applies regardless of whether your employer deliberately ignored their responsibilities or simply failed to take the necessary precautions.
There are important regulations in place, known as the “six-pack regulations,” which outline specific responsibilities that employers must follow to ensure a safe working environment. If your employer failed to comply with these regulations and you suffered injuries as a result, you may be eligible to make a claim.
Under the Health and Safety Executive’s guidelines, employers in Scotland are also required to hold employers liability insurance to cover any injury at work claims made by their employees. If your employer has failed in their duty and you have suffered a workplace accident claim as a result, Khan Law’s specialist solicitors will ensure you receive the full amount of accident at work compensation you are entitled to.

Making a Workplace Accident Claim in Glasgow
The first step in making a workplace accident claim is to contact Khan Law. We will assess your case, advise you on your prospects of success and explain clearly what steps you need to take.
It is understandable that many people feel reluctant to make a claim against their employer, concerned it may affect their employment or lead to unfair treatment. However, any claim for an accident at work is directed at your employer’s insurers, who are in place for exactly this purpose. Your employer cannot dismiss you or treat you unfairly for pursuing a legitimate personal injury claim.
Where possible, it is always helpful to report the accident formally and ensure it is recorded in your employer’s accident report book. Gathering evidence early, including photographs of the scene, details of any witnesses and copies of any medical treatment you have received, will strengthen your claim considerably.
If you have been injured at work, you may also be entitled to statutory sick pay during your recovery. Our solicitors will ensure that all financial losses are accounted for in your claim, including lost earnings (past and future), medical expenses, travel costs and any other out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the injuries you have sustained.
If you would like to make a claim, contact our team on 0141 378 0514, or fill out our enquiry form, and a member of our team will be in touch.
Scotland’s Three-Year Time Limit
In Scotland, you generally have three years from the date of your workplace accident to make a claim for accident at work compensation. This is known as the timebar. In cases involving industrial disease, the three years runs from the date you first became aware of your diagnosis rather than the date of exposure. Because these time limits are strictly enforced, we recommend seeking legal advice as soon as possible after your accident.

Contact us by phone or through our online enquiry form. One of our experienced personal injury solicitors will listen carefully to your story, gather initial information, and advise you on whether your claim is likely to succeed.
Step
If we believe you have a strong case, we will immediately start gathering evidence to support your claim. This includes medical reports, witness statements, photographs of the accident scene or injuries, and any relevant documentation that proves your losses.
Step
Once we have sufficient evidence, we will approach the responsible party (or their insurers) and begin negotiations to secure the best possible compensation settlement for you. Our goal is always to achieve the highest compensation with minimum stress to you.
Step
Most accident at work claims are resolved through out-of-court settlements. If an agreement can be reached that meets your expectations, your case will be settled promptly. If the opposing party refuses to offer a fair amount, we will advise you clearly on your options, including proceeding to court.
Step
Once a settlement has been agreed or a court has awarded compensation, you’ll receive your money promptly, minus our pre-agreed success fee. At Khan Law, there are no hidden fees, everything is transparent from the outset.

Frequently Asked Questions - Accident at Work Claims
When can I claim compensation?
You can claim compensation if you suffered personal injury as a result of an accident at work, which was caused or materially contributed to by your employer or a third party.
What injuries can I claim for?
You can claim compensation for any physical injuries and may be entitled to claim compensation for any psychological injury.
How do I prove if my employer was at fault?
There are a number of regulations which employers must follow. If they do not follow a regulation and you suffer an injury due to their failure you may be entitled to claim compensation. At Khan Law, let us worry about this so you don’t have to.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
If for whatever reason you believe, or it is found that, you are partly to blame for the accident. There will be a reduction of your compensation. This may be a percentage and we will negotiate this with your employer’s solicitors on your behalf.
How much will it cost me?
Nothing. We pursue all of our claims on a no win no fee basis, meaning if your case is unsuccessful, you pay nothing.
How much compensation will I receive?
The amount of compensation you receive is wholly dependent on what your injuries are and how long they take to resolve. As a result, it will not be possible for us to give you an estimate as to how much your claim will settle for until we are in possession of all your losses and medical reports.
Can my employer dismiss me because I am claiming?
No. Your employer cannot dismiss you because you are pursuing a claim against them for personal injury.
