Could I lose my job?

We are used to dealing with client's anxieties, and understand that this is a serious concern for many people who have had accidents at work. An employer is not allowed to sack you if you are injured in an accident at work. Your employer is legally obliged to have insurance, known as Employers Liability Insurance, to cover them for any accidents at work. In reality it is the company’s insurers who would pay any successful claim and not your employer.

I think I may have a claim, what should I do?
