Off Work Injured? Help Income
When you are involved in an accident that leaves you injured, a certain feeling of frustration comes to surface, mainly to do with how helpless being injured can make you feel.
This is the case, of course, in a physical sense but the emotion is not exclusive to this element of your life. The frustration following an injury is more than likely to bleed into the financial sphere too.
If you are in full time employment, you will be eligible for statutory sick pay, but be aware, your sick pay is a significant drop in income and just because you are ill it does not mean your monthly outgoings are going to mimic your drop in income.
Many people who have been financially affected through injury start to realise just how important a real salary is and start to flounder a little under the weight of their household bills.
If you feel this is a process beginning to seem too familiar in your own life it may be beneficial to get in touch with the likes of medicalsolicitors.co.uk.
A claim for compensation could really help alleviate the money worries you have building up and can help pay for those expensive medical bills as well as keeping you and your family afloat during your time of need.
The debt collector will not stop knocking at your door just because you are ill and if you have been involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault, seeing to it that you are not in financial difficulty as a result, is one of the reasons companies like first4lawyers.com exist.
Bringing justice to a situation like this is not simply to gratify a damaged ego but to inspire others to do the right thing and hopefully stop the accident from reoccurring in the future.
Agree, care needs to be taken to protect others too.
Great article. Disability pay is significantly lower which can cause such problems.
Great article, it’s so important to make sure that you’re covered. Sick pay is not a lot.
Work-related injuries are horrible. Some employers show no mercy in squeezing $$ out of you!
I think that is such a scary thing to happen.
