Accident at Work Claim Calculator

If you’ve been hurt at work, one of the first questions on your mind is probably: How much could I claim? The truth is, it depends on a few things, the type of injury, how it affects your daily life, and the circumstances of the accident. Our calculator gives you a quick, realistic estimate of what compensation you might be entitled to.

Whether it was a slip, a fall, a machinery accident, or negligence on the part of your employer, you can claim if your injury resulted from unsafe working conditions or lapses in health and safety protocols.

How our calculator works

This isn’t some gimmicky tool. All you have to do is answer a few simple questions, and a practical estimate will be given to you based on:

• What your injury is and how severe it is
• Where the injury occurred on your body
• Any lasting effects that you may suffer from
• Lost earnings and out-of-pocket expenses

While no online tool can replace a full legal assessment, it’s a useful starting point to see if pursuing a claim makes sense for you.

Who can use this calculator?

If you’ve been injured at work in the UK due to any of the below reasons, we recommend that you use this calculator:

• Employer negligence
• Unsafe equipment or machinery
• Lack of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
• Inadequate training
• Unsafe work environments

Even if our calculator doesn’t give you a precise amount, you can get a sense of what your claim might be worth. Even if you’re unsure, it’s quick and obligation-free.

Why it helps to use our accident claim calculator

• Clarity: You can get a rough idea of your potential compensation
• Control: It can help you to make informed choices before you take action
• Confidence: Understand your rights and what your claim is worth

Most employees will hesitate to claim, thinking it’s “not worth it” or because they don’t want to “cause trouble”. But employers usually have insurance specifically for workplace injuries, we believe that nobody should miss out on what they’re entitled to.

Understanding settlements and payouts

Our calculator will give you an initial estimate, but actual claims can vary due to:

• Settlements: Most claims are resolved before court, which is usually faster and simpler.
• Court awards: If your case goes to trial, a judge decides the payout, including any long-term effects and lost future earnings.

We can help you to decide whether negotiating a settlement or pursuing a full court payout makes the most sense for your situation.

Planning for future costs

A workplace injury can often lead to on-going medical care, therapy, or in more severe circumstances, permanent lifestyle adjustments. By considering factors like this early, you can ensure your claim covers:

• Long-term treatment and rehabilitation
• Any lost income or reduced earning potential in the future
• Home or vehicle modifications if needed
• Psychological support if any trauma was caused

Tips to strengthen your claim

Using our calculator is a starting point, if you want to maximise your chances of a fair payout, consider the below:

• Gather evidence: accident reports, photos, medical records
• Track all financial losses, including travel and treatment
• Keep a record of time off work or lost opportunities
• Get expert reports if your injury is complex or long-term
