Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Report the Injury: Immediately report the injury to your employer and ensure that it is recorded in the workplace accident book.
Step 2: Seek Medical Attention: Obtain medical treatment and keep a record of all medical reports and prescriptions.
Step 3: Workers’ Compensation: If your injury was caused by your employer’s negligence, you can make a claim for compensation through the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB). The board will assess the claim and determine an appropriate award.
Step 4: Personal Injury Action: If your claim is not settled through PIAB, you may need to take legal action in court. A solicitor can help you navigate this process and ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
It’s important to act quickly and gather all relevant evidence to ensure a successful claim.
