Re: Work accident
Does your house insurance come with legal cover / legal assistance? You'll perhaps end up with a better company that way than if you try and find a generic no win no fee type set up, but I guess unless you go to a recommendation based on similar conditions it's hard to know who's good until you're in itRichie848evo wrote:I've had a needlestick injury at work considering putting in a claim due to the ongoing treatment that I need, occupational health at work are absolutely dog shit as well.

Sharps injuries must be reported to HSE under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) if:
an employee is injured by a sharp known to be contaminated with a blood-borne virus (BBV), eg hepatitis B or C or HIV. This is reportable as a dangerous occurrence;
the employee receives a sharps injury and a BBV acquired by this route seroconverts. This is reportable as a disease;
if the injury itself is so severe that it must be reported.
If the sharp is not contaminated with a BBV, or the source of the sharps injury cannot be traced, it is not reportable to HSE, unless the injury itself causes an over-seven-day injury. If the employee develops a disease attributable to the injury, then it must be reported.
BBV is a blood born virus so GET CHECKED!
