Brain Cancer Statistics

Within the same time frame, 152 citizen beyond doubt died while doing their jobs. These deaths were reported in the services, construction, agricultural and manufacturing industries.

According to Riddor (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995), 121,430 injuries whole were reported while the time the statistics were compiled, but statistics released by the Labour Force inspect revealed that, in fact, 233,000 reported injuries took place in the workplace. The huge discrepancy in these two statistics show that, while many injuries and illnesses beyond doubt do occur in the workplace, less than half of them are field to an urgency at work claim.

The above statistics are the hypothesize why condition and safety regulations are so stringent in the United Kingdom and why the urgency and injury figures are decreasing on a year by year average.

It can be deduced from the above that many workers in the United Kingdom suffered from a work connected injury or illness, but did not take performance in order to file an urgency at work claim.

If you have been injured or suffer from a work connected ailment and have never filed a claim, according to United Kingdom law, you have three years from the date of the actual urgency in which to file such claim with the courts although, in some cases, exceptions may be made. An example of this would be a brain injury affecting ones memory or actual reasoning capacity for lodging a claim, where the time limitation would only begin from the point where one is mentally capable of handling the legal aspects.

Clearly then, it is imperative that such claim be made at the earliest opportunity, as not only will you have to provide evidence to prove your claim, but the lawyer representing you will have to beyond doubt file the claim with the court within this three year period. A legal fact that you will have to prove - and that your lawyer will be able to aid you with - is that your owner is (or was), in fact, at fault and is therefore liable for the illness or injury you have suffered. To aid you in proving your employer's liability, you will have to yield all your curative records relating to your disability, showing that such illness/injury was caused by a work accident, as well as all other proof, such as photographs, statements from other employees and anything else which may be of use in proving your claim.
