In 2009 a North-East injury compensation firm confirmed suspicions when it announced that the global economic downturn had coincided with an increase in industrial injury litigation.
One of the firm's injury compensation specialists told The Northern Echo," The recession could well be having an impact on the number of workplace accidents.
"It is understandable that many businesses are currently taking actions to reduce costs, but it is vital that workers' safety is not compromised."
However, the benefits of such cutbacks can be illusory: although they might save money in the short-term, the impact of an accident can have manifold financial repercussions, including health and safety fines, worker settlements and costlier insurance premiums.
The same firm also expressed concern that some companies might be tempted to hush up accidents at work in the hope of avoiding the consequences. "If injured at work, it is essential that you follow the correct procedures, inform all the relevant parties, and co-operate in investigating the accident if necessary," said the spokesperson.
And it is essential that workers are not intimidated into silence by under pressure bosses seeking to save their own skins; finding specialist legal advice remains a priority. "Industrial accidents are a common occurrence, and even in an office environment, accidents can and do happen. If you have any queries about your rights if you have suffered an injury, you should seek legal advice."
Making a cost free claim with leading solicitors
With personal injury litigation, there are strict time limits dictating when it is possible for a claimant to commence proceedings. Generally, this limitation period is three years after the date of accident, although in some cases this limitation period may come into effect from the date on which the injury has been identified (asbestos-related illnesses, for example).
