  Industrial injury accident compensation claim, no loans, fees or catch, 100% compensation
Industrial injury and accidents at work are very common and a major source of compensation claims in the UK.
Even if your industrial injury was caused by something a fellow worker did, or didn't do, your employer will still usually be liable (assault by another employee, being one of the main exceptions to this).
An industrial injury in the workplace is common and your employer will have insurance to cover compensation claims from employers who have sustained an industrial injury.

 No. 03CA1616. Duncan v. Industrial Claim Appeals Office. - July 1, 2004 - Colorado Court of Appeals Opinions
The injury aggravated her preexisting degenerative joint disease, which claimant developed from a combination of the natural aging process and a 1977 industrial injury she sustained while working for a previous employer.
Rather, where the industrial injury aggravates, accelerates, or combines with a preexisting disease or infirmity to produce the need for treatment, the treatment is a compensable consequence of the industrial injury.
She argues that her 1977 injury became stable, and therefore it should not have been treated as a prior industrial injury, but as a preexisting condition not affecting employer’s liability.

 No. 02CA0441. Longmont Toyota, Inc. v. Industrial Claim Appeals Office. - February 13, 2003 - Colorado Court of Appeals ...
In PDM Molding, the supreme court held that an employee who sustained a work-related injury and was subsequently discharged for fault from the employment out of which the injury arose was not automatically ineligible for temporary disability benefits.
Before PDM Molding, when a temporarily disabled employee was determined to be at fault for his or her termination, any subsequent wage loss was deemed to be caused not by the injury, but rather by the employee’s act that led to the termination.
Thus, under the law before PDM Molding, when a claimant’s voluntary conduct caused his or her termination and the injury played no part in the discharge, a compensable injury was no longer recognized for purposes of temporary disability benefits.
