Contractor Injuries
You Deserve Better
If I am self-employed or working as a contractor, how can I make a claim?
Too many people think that self-employed workers or contractors cannot make a claim as they are not formally considered as ‘employees’, but this is often not the case.
For years businesses have sought to try and avoid liability to injured workers by saying that they were ‘self-employed’ contractors. The courts are wise to this and will not allow business owners to seek to avoid paying compensation when this is unreasonable. They will look at a number of elements to see if they are what is known as a ‘temporary deemed employee’.

Specialist Contractor Support
So even if you are self-employed, and complete your own tax assessments, you can potentially claim if some or all of the below apply to you when you were injured:
- You were working under the direction or control of another person or business
- Whilst working you were not free to quote or carry out work for your own business
- You were told where to go and how to do the work
- You were provided with safety equipment, tools, or materials
If any of the above applied to you when you were injured, then you may be able to make a claim against this business that had control over your work at the time.
