The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced that it will take further steps to warn employees about the dangers of sleeping in bunk beds after an employee accident.

One worker fell and broke her foot after falling from a bunk bed six-feet off the ground, as revealed in a Freedom of Information request. The employee said that she had forgotten the bed was so high.

According to the London Metro, the MoD will now issue a briefing regarding the dangers of bunk beds to ensure employee safety, and in turn, limit their liability for accidents to avoid any future incidents involving personal injury solicitors or accident claims.

This is just one of the strange and unfortunate accidents that affect employees in the UK every year. Other accidents at work included injuries whilst dealing with rubbish, walking into glass windows and even injuries whilst taking part in fun activities such as wrestling in sumo suits.

These unusual incidents were all reported by health and safety officers who must record all serious accident at work incidents for the Health and Safety Executive, with most cases then being passed over to a local personal injury solicitor or national accident claims company.

In addition to the bunk bed accident, a number of parachuting accidents were also reported by officers at the MoD, In these circumstances, sufferers reported hitting the ground with too much force or at an awkward angle.

A host of parachuting accidents was also included as personal injury claims and cases where MoD employees were hurt hitting the ground awkwardly or with too much force.

All serious accidents at the MoD are reported using RIDDOR forms. These forms are a requirement for organisations which must be filled out following an accident in the workplace, or where there is a health and safety issue which could lead to a serious accident.

A spokesman for the MoD said:

“The MoD has a duty of care to all its employees whether military or civilian personnel, and we keep our health and safety policies under constant review to manage risk and make sure our personnel have appropriate protection at work, including during training and operations.”

These accident at work revelations highlight how important health and safety at work is, and also that every employer has a responsibility towards their employees when it comes to health and safety.

Can I be dismissed if I make a claim against my employer?

Often people are worried about making a personal injury claim against their employer for fear of how it will affect their employment.

However, under UK law, you cannot be dismissed for pursuing an accident at work personal injury claim against you employer. Most employers have insurance to cover the cost of an accident at work claim, and thus will only be inconvenienced by the claim.

For these reasons, you should not let concerns about your employment prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve. Most personal injury solicitors will work on a no win no fee basis for all new clients.

At South Coast Lawyers (personal injury solicitors in Brighton) we can work with you to investigate your case, gather evidence to make your claim and work to make sure you get the maximum compensation owed to you. If you have been injured in an accident at work, contact us today for your free, no obligation consultation.

How much compensation could I claim for an accident at work?

Determining how much compensation you could get for an accident at work can be difficult. The answer very much depends on the nature of your injury; the lasting effects of your injury and any steps your employer took to prevent your injury. You may be awarded what is known as general damages.

General damages are awarded for pain, suffering and loss of amenity. You may also be awarded ‘special damages’. Special damages compensate you for any financial loss incurred. This includes things such as loss of earnings or loss of future earnings, medical or child care costs and any costs incurred as a result of being injured. For a more accurate assessment of how much your claim could be worth, contact Accident Claims Web today.

Accidents Claims in the Workplace

Sadly, accidents in the workplace are exceptionally common often due to negligence or your employer failing in their duty of care.This is what one of their legal representatives has to say on the matter:

“Your employer has a duty to make sure that you, along with all members of staff are protected in the workplace. Your employer should make sure that the workplace is free from hazards, all employees are suitably trained for their role, and that proper health and safety procedures are in place as well as proper health and safety equipment.”

“If your employer fails in their duty of care or if you are injured as a result of carelessness, the team of expert lawyers at the Accident Claims Web can help you with accident at work compensation.”

To make a personal injury claim following an accident in the workplace, the team at the Accident Claims Web will require certain types of evidence to build the strongest personal injury claim. To obtain the maximum amount of compensation following an accident in the workplace your solicitor may require:

• A medical report- If you are injured we strongly advise that you seek treatment from a medical expert as they can assess the extent of your injuries and ensure you get the best treatment to make a recovery.
• Witness statements- To prove how your accident occurred we may require witness statements or contact details from witnesses who saw your incident.
• Photographic evidence- This can show the full extent of your injury and even show how your accident occurred e.g. a hazard in the workplace. Any similar evidence such as CCTV could also be used.
• A copy of a note of the accident or proof of the incident in the Accident Report Book
• Any other evidence that could support your claim

How much Could your Personal Injury Claim be Worth?

It is difficult to assess exactly what your personal injury claim could be worth as no personal injury claim is alike.

Below is a video from their online marketing team which goes into a little detail about how they work and operate.

A Professional Team of Solicitors

However, the team of expert solicitors will be able to investigate your case and provide a rough estimate based on their years of experience and knowledge of the previous cases.

However, and again, when making a personal injury claim, it is possible to claim for more than just your injuries. You can claim for damages if you have been unable to work, and unable to earn, if your injuries have left you unable to do certain activities and if there was any damage to your personal belongings in the accident.

To claim for further damages, such as loss of earnings, you should provide bank statements and proof to our team of expert solicitors.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Many people believe that if they are injured they do not need to enlist the services of a personal injury lawyer and that they will be granted what they are owed in compensation. This, however, is not always the case, and such claims can often be exceptionally drawn out and complex, especially if one party denies the allegations.

Often, many accident and injury claims are resolved outside of court through a settlement agreement. A settlement agreement resolves the dispute, normally in return for capital.

Following the signing of such an agreement, a settlement is reached, and you are not able to take further legal action. Therefore, it is imperative that you have a solicitor present. A lawyer will be able to inform you of exactly what your claim is worth and what would be an adequate settlement.

The childhood wounds still open again in adulthood!

It was nice to be good and responsible adults, we all have our faults, our limitations, our blocks. And we read the well-being and personal development books, we do yoga, it is converted to Buddhism or we go see a shrink, these limitations are related to childhood injuries .

In any case Lisa Bourbeau’s assertions in his book The five injuries that prevent him from being himself.

Betrayal, humiliation, mistrust, abandonment, injustice … These emotional wounds are hidden deep within us for many years and it is because of them that we can not exploit our potential. Here is a small guide to recognize and perhaps appease them. Finally.

1. The fear of being abandoned

The child too lonely and isolated adult who becomes a fear of abandonment.

For a child, there is nothing worse than feeling alone and not sufficiently protected in the first years of his life in a world he does not know and he does not understand very well. As an adult, he is afraid to relive this pain, this abandonment. So he prefers to be the one who gives up first. In general, this is an unstable person, who is struggling to complete its projects and to be reliable in long term relationships.

These people must understand what makes them so scared and used to love the other. Accept physical contact, hugs. One of the techniques can also be accepting his solitude to understand that it is not an enemy. This allows to find the world and others with newfound confidence.

2. Fear of rejection wipe

The child who was told not his childhood becomes an adult who is afraid to accept his feelings.

Even when we are children, we have the right to be right sometimes. To face “no” all the time (especially on the part of parents and relatives) creates adults who do not trust them. They tend to devalue, to have fairly low opinion of themselves. These are people who often isolate themselves because they do not understand why they deserve the affection or attention. They tend to panic, especially when you ask them their opinion or to speak in public.

To overcome this injury, we must dare to challenge themselves, to take major decisions, such as starting a new job, live alone. Other lost count, learn to faires choices for you and only for you!

3. Humiliation

The child has suffered humiliation in the early years often becomes an adult who has a hard time falling in love.

The sense of humiliation among children can take lots of forms: tell a little boy or a little girl he did everything wrong, it’s annoying, awkward or nasty example. Upbraid him in front of other people. Compare with other children who would be “more this” or “that more” than himself. These humiliations destroy the child’s esteem and make a dependent adult who need the advice of others to feel alive. This can also cause nasty and selfish people who behave like this only because of a defense mechanism, never to be humiliated!

To break away from these bad habits, it is advisable to address their needs and fears, but also on the notion of freedom. Free of others. Royalty its own determinism. Free to be who we want to be without limit.

4. Fear of trusting (and betrayal)

Children who have experienced betrayal in their youth become suspicious and negative adults.

It is never good to make promises to a child and not to take them. Even inventing excuses to justify the child understands the deception. As an adult, the feeling of mistrust does not diminish, on the contrary, the adult world is not always very honest. Betrayed children are insecure and suspicious of them adults who never believe deserve what they get. These are also people rather negative and perfectionists who want to control everything and that can be very authoritarian and domineering.

To turn the tide, we must learn not to want to control everything. How ? By being tolerant, patient and above all, very respectful of others and their opinions. Also learn to be alone and do nothing, this opens the mind.

5. The sense of injustice

Children who had the impression of living injustices become adults who want to be very important and have great power.

The children who were asking too much and feel they will never be up to the requirements requested develop a sense of worthlessness, inefficiency. Growing up, they can become rigid and extremely demanding in turn. They can become downright fanatical of the order and power, convinced that they must become important to make decisions. But they can also take extreme and irrational decisions.

To fight against these abuses, we must do work on self and the feeling of suspicion and mental rigidity. Learn to be flexible. Learn to be a simple man. Learn to trust others. Your life you seem much simpler, at once!

It leaves the last word to Lisa Bourbeau:

The first step is to accept that injuries are part of us, to give us permission to annoy us and, above all, to give us time to overcome them.

Keep your loved ones and children safe at home and lower the risk of accidents by learning about aspects that you should try to avoid in the house.
