Last Tuesday i had an accident in work which was works fault. I work for a delivery firm and oil had leaked from one of the vans into the delivery bay and i slid on it while walking to the van and i have damaged ligaments in my left knee and have 8 stitches. I have been told by hospital i will need 6 weeks rest + physio.

I took pictures at the scene on my phone of what i slid on and it was entered into the works accident book + works first aider attended before i was taken via ambulance because i couldnt drive.

Today i had a meeting with my boss and although he didnt come out and say it, he give me the impression that if i claimed for the accident it would be frowned upon.

Also im having problems from another member of staff since the accident, this staff member its part of his job to make sure there are no hazards in the work place but he rarely leaves the office, hes obese and sits in the office eating and drinking tea and its a running joke at work about him. Questions are now being asked why he didn't spot the oil and why he didn't even attend the accident when it happened to even view the hazard and hes looking at loosing his job and hes sent me a few nasty text messages via my phone.

How would anyone in my place handle this?

Thanks
I'd claim,that company needs a kick up the behind...
