It could be a slip in the office canteen or a fall down the warehouse stairs, but if you are injured in a workplace accident that was not your fault, you may have a personal injury compensation claim<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employer owes you a duty of care when at work, and if they breach that duty of care and you are injured, you could have a compensation claim*. The employer may deny liability, but you can still make a personal injury compensation claim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When making any personal injury claim, such as a workplace accident claim*, you need an experienced hand on your shoulder.
