Press Release Summary = Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had an
accident at work? No? You and your employer most certainly should. Many businesses
have gone bust as a result of employee claims and lack of due diligence in this
area.

Press Release Body = London, UK - Mind The Step

The BIBA (British Insurance Brokers\' Association) claims that hundreds of small and
medium sized firms have gone out of business in recent years because of a sharp
increase in employer liability premiums, while a further 10,000 are at risk. Even
though the government has agreed to explore ways of preventing small firms from
going under due to steep rises in employer liability insurance, this will not
infringe upon employee rights and the need for legal advice in such situations

Personal injury compensation claims company Claims Master Group website
http://www.claimsmastergroup.com/personal_injury_articles.htm have a number of
articles written to guide consumers around the legal minefield and provide
information on employee claims and employer liability.

In \"Is Your Boss Covered?\" Claims Master Group states \"...it is also important to
take note that if an employee is driving whilst on business and through negligence,
causes a road traffic accident, the employer will be held responsible...\" This is
something which many a dodgy minicab firm should be weary of when last year alone
140 women were sexually assaulted in illegal minicabs

The website resources clearly define topics such as \'vicarious liability\',
responsibilities of an \'occupier\', \'landlord\' and who should really chase away
\'trespassers\'.

The public in most scenarios where the law is concerned nowadays turn to the
internet for an immediate information fix, and there is a wealth of information on
employer liability on UK websites.

It\'s not a free reign for employees to start falling downstairs. However, it does
though highlight the need for useful information in layman\'s terms.

Many are beginning to frown on what is being termed a \'compensation culture\'. Will
this encourage employers to be more thorough providing a safe environment for their
workers? If so, perhaps this is not such a bad idea, you be the judge.
