Injured while working for Primark?

Like all employers, retailers must keep their employees safe while they are at work and must put measures in place in order to do so.

If you have been injured while working for a retailer because your employer has failed to provide you with a safe working environment or protect you from hazards, you may be able to claim for an accident at work.

How to make a claim against Primark

If you are injured as a customer or employee, there are a number of steps you should take if you are considering making a personal injury claim.

• Report your accident as soon as possible. Inform a member of staff that you have been injured and ask them to record it in the store accident book. If you have been injured at work, tell a colleague and make sure that your accident is recorded.
• Make sure you visit your GP or local A&E to ensure that your injuries are properly assessed and treated.
• Take photos of the accident scene if you have been injured in-store by defective equipment or have tripped or fallen. These photos will help us to assess the merits of your claim and could be important evidence later on in your case.
• Speak to anyone who witnessed your accident and make a note of their names and contact details. They may be able to provide a witness statement to help strengthen your claim.
• Contact us. When making any kind of accident claim, it is essential that you have a specialist on your side.

You have just three years from the date of your accident in which to make a claim so it is important that you begin the legal process as soon as possible. If you are a minor or would like to claim on behalf of a child, the three-year timeframe begins on the date of their eighteenth birthday.

AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION IN CLAIMS AGAINST PRIMARK

All personal injury cases are unique and so the amount of compensation that is awarded in each case is also unique. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two distinct factors – general damages and special damages.

GENERAL DAMAGES

The pain and suffering that your injuries have caused is the main factor that is used to determine how much compensation you are owed. This will usually be determined by undergoing a medical examination, from which a report is created that outlines the length of time the injuries will take to heal as well as their severity.

Our compensation calculator gives an indication of how much you might be entitled to based upon your injuries. Jefferies Solicitors will take these different details relating to your injury into account when calculating how much compensation you should be awarded, which will then be put forward to the opposing side and the judge.

SPECIAL DAMAGES

However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work. If you have had to pay for treatment or travel to treatment, compensation may also be able to cover this as well. Therefore, you should keep any receipts or other documents that help to outline the extent of your financial losses, as caused by your accident/injuries.
