A hospitality worker injury claim seeks compensation for the injury an employee in the hospitality industry suffers while at work. If you suffer a personal injury that was not your fault and not wholly your fault, you could have a personal injury compensation claim.
A hospitality worker may break a bone in a slip, trip or fall at work in the hotel, café or bar. The injury could be a burn from a hot plate, a cut from a sharp knife or a scald from boiling water, but if you suffer a workplace injury, you may have a hospitality injury claim.
The employer owes employees a duty of care when they are at work. If the owner of a café, hotel, bar, or restaurant breaches that duty of care and a hospitality worker suffers a workplace injury, an employee may have a personal injury compensation claim.
A Personal Injury Team No Win No Fee solicitor can look at your case and see if you have a valid hospitality injury claim.
