# Not necessarily
when I worked for Trebor, someone managed to screw up twice with the same machine and got badly scalded by a load of steam.
Twice she got compo and twice she got to keep her job.

It's mainly a case of whether you want to carry on in the same happy environment.

Edit: Of course, if you're actually seriously hurt it's probably a good idea to put a claim of some sort in - health insurance?

# Nope
(your profile ain't clear on the subject either), but if it hampers your ability to work, you should probably claim something.
