Not recieveing sick pay for accident

I went to toilet at work and pulled the chain. The whole cistern came off the wall and crushed my chest. Now I’m off work and not getting sick pay for being injured. Is this right? Because it really doesn’t feel right to me, it’s not my fault why should I have to pay?

Hi, sorry to hear that. Not everyone is entitled to full pay from their employer when off work regardless of the circumstances. Everyone receives SSP under government guidance but company sick pay is at the employers discretion. You would need to speak to your manager/HR team and see if you are entitled to it.
If you have been injured and pursue a personal injury claim then any unpaid wages/loss of earnings can be claimed through that.
