a fall from scaffolding

During built- works, I was working on the scaffolding, I felt dizzy and I feel off that onto the ground. I were breaking two legs. Once has breaken in kniee and the second - tibia.  I hit on my head on the things lying under the scaffolding (barrel, spade) in hospital they discovered a bruise on brain. the police and ambulance came. I've witness. I want to stop my work and claim a compensation from my employer. What I have do first?

If you wish to make a claim for compensation you can do so if your employer was to blame for the accident .By Law, your employer must have insurance to cover liability for the accident.  you have to prove a case of negligence or breach of statutory duty to win your case. If the scaffolding wasn't broken and your employer wasn't guilty it would be difficult to prove his guilty. consult solicitors.
