Why would a victim of an accident deserved to be awarded an injury at work compensation?

Well, simply because he is an employee who has been injured at work because his employer failed to consider his health and safety.

For instance, one worker was hurt because of lack protective equipment and the other worker was injured because of defective machinery.

Let’s go on to the details and find out why they deserved to be compensated.

The first worker sustained burns and eventually left scars on his arms and leg because his employer failed to provide him quality protective clothing. Not only that – he was not given proper training on how to use the protective gear. Another thing is that his supervisor did not orient him that the task assigned to him is too risky. He could have resisted it because it may endanger his life. True enough, he was badly hurt because the gear snapped. 

Moving on to the second case, a worker was hurt because of the faulty machine which was not fixed immediately. First, he was not informed that it was defective. Second, he was not given sufficient training on how to use it properly. Third, he was having a hard time proving that it’s not his fault.

Two cases which have a common denominator. Both were injured due to someone’s mistakes. Different scenarios, different kinds of injury, different intensity of pain, but both of them have the same right to claim for injury. It’s because they were injured in the workplace caused by others. A greater weight goes to the business owners who are supposed to protect their employees. 

These people are suffering from pain and financial setbacks that affects their daily lives. They deserves to be compensated for their loss, pain and suffering. It’s not only the physical pain but also the emotional stress and financial impact of the accident that should be compensated. It cannot really bring back the loss but it can ease the pain and alleviate the burden they carry. They both deserve injury at work compensation.
