An accident at work has caused me to be off for the last 6 weeks. My employer tells me that if I’m not well soon he’ll make me redundant. What should I do?
Accidents at work are awkward as you are reliant upon your employer for income to support yourself. It is difficult though to remind managers of that their insurance will meet your claim and that your intention is to get back to work as soon as you are medically fit to do so. Your current predicament requires input not only from our personal injury team but also our employment team. Both will be able to advise you on whether or not you have a claim for the injuries and also what your rights are as far as your job is concerned and what your employer can and cannot do. It is important to contact us as soon as possible regarding your employment position in particular as there are stringent cut off points for making a claim should that prove necessary. We would hope to be able to avoid this by assisting you before your employer takes any action.
