Understanding Your Entitlement to Compensation in Nairobi
In Nairobi, as across Kenya, employees injured in the course of their employment are entitled to compensation. This entitlement stems from legislation like the Work Injury Benefits Act (WIBA), 2007, which mandates employers to provide compensation for work-related injuries or diseases, regardless of fault in many cases. The amount of compensation typically depends on the severity of the injury, the resulting disablement (temporary or permanent), medical expenses incurred, and loss of earnings. Proving the direct link between the injury and employment is fundamental. At Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates, we meticulously gather evidence, including medical reports from accredited Nairobi hospitals and employer records, to establish a strong case for your entitlement. We also consider the provisions of the Employment Act, 2007, where applicable to employment relationships.
Navigating the Claims Process with Nairobi Legal Experts
The process for lodging a workers' compensation claim in Nairobi requires adherence to specific procedures and deadlines. It typically begins with immediate reporting of the incident to your employer, followed by seeking prompt medical attention. A formal claim is then submitted, supported by detailed medical reports and evidence of employment. The employer must then notify the relevant authorities, such as the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) or the insurer. Our role at Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates is to simplify this process for you. We manage all procedural requirements, ensure documentation is comprehensive and accurate, and act as your liaison with employers, insurance providers, and the courts.
