Accidents at work

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management and Myths, 2004, pp 20-21 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The arrival of the ‘ambulance-chasing’, litigious American, accident-at-work television advertisements has focused sharply on safety in the workplace. If you have an accident that was not your fault, which is the crucial bit (said sotto voce), then maybe you have a (large, legitimate) claim against your employer. Slip on a wet toilet floor, get six months off and £10K compensation. You get the idea.
