What happens if my employer refuses to acknowledge my workplace accident?

 

[Ed Marshall]

If your employer refuses to acknowledge a workplace accident, it can complicate your ability to access sick pay, compensation, or proper health and safety follow-up. Employers in England and Wales are obliged under health and safety laws to document serious workplace incidents. If this is not happening, you should record all evidence yourself (e.g., photographs, witness statements, and medical records) If you need more specific guidance or have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
