Every worker has a responsibility to accomplish the tasks that his employers are paying him for.  In the same manner, employers also have a responsibility to make sure that the rights and health of their workers are well protected by the company or the people they are working for.

1. Make sure you have a work contract signed by your employer.  An employment contract is proof that you have indeed been hired by the employer.  It also shows your job description, benefits to be received as disciplinary measures that will have to be taken by the employer in case of breach of contract.  Such a contract will not only prove the abovementioned matters but will also be an important document to help you win your employer liability case.

2. Always read and keep a copy of the employee handbook.  Most workplaces issue this handbook which may include the specific rules of the employer, disciplinary measures as well as health and safety matters related to your employment.  Keep this handbook because you never know when it might come handy when you are filing an employer liability case.

3. be aware of the labour or employment laws that are prevailing in your city or locality.  Knowing which laws apply to you can be a very potent weapon in helping you win a case against your employer later on.

4. Recognize the importance of joining labour organizations in your workplace and the management stance for or against these groups.  Also check employer rules in joining labour organizations when you are still new to the company.

5. Gather evidence on the action taken by the employer whenever there are accidents in the workplace or injuries that are work related.  Knowing these things will help you in making a decision later on especially when you are the one involved in the incident t.

6. Get a medical certificate immediately after an accident or a work related injury.  There may be a company doctor but it would do you better if you consult an independent doctor who can issue you a medical certificate as to your mental and physical condition after a work related accident.

7. Check if your employer has liability insurance.  The liability insurance of the employer will aid the latter in paying for any injury suffered by his workers as a result of a work related injury.  An employer who has this insurance may be more responsive to your employer liability case since the bill will be paid by the insurance agency.

8. Determine the liability of your employer in any work related incident.  Your employer will always prove he is not liable for the injuries sustained by you but if you are well ahead of his thoughts and actions then you can gather enough evidence to determine his negligence which will prove his liability.

9. be comfortable in the knowledge that your employer has no right to terminate you just because you have been injured in a work related accident.  In fact your employer has the responsibility to continue paying your salary and wages while you are being treated or even while recuperating for the work related injury.

10. Get a good solicitor who will help you file your employer liability case and prosecute it.  No matter how strong your case is you will never get the proper benefits that are due any worker who has suffered a work related injury.  A solicitor has the necessary experience on these matters and he can help you win your employer liability case.

Filing an employer liability case can be complicated and stressful especially if you have suffered an injury which has kept you away from your job.  Make sure you do not suffer the consequences of a work related accident without getting proper compensation for it.
