It could be at least a year, you will be required to see an independent doctor and your companies' insurer will fight it. Also don't expect to get a promotion ever.
Sorry to be negative, but unless you are left with perminent damage just asking your employer to help cover any expenses or losses caused by the injury may be a better route imho.

In between here and there
I spoke to my insurers about a public liability claim made against me, she originally wanted a weeks wages from me for a tiny cut which was self inflicted. I was going to pay her just to keep it simple but thought I should give it to the insurers, they fecked her around so she went no win-no fee they ended up paying out near on 9k, mostly fees I guess. When I challenged them they said anything under 50k not worth the risk the huge costs of defending it in court and the possibly losing if I wanted to fight anything in the future I would need to take the hit on the other parties fees should I lose which can quickly escalate.
Of course the ambulance chasers know this.
This is ______ airport we're talking about; it's where I work but they're not my employer, so no black mark against me.
As it's probably going to be under £25,000 the airport has 40 days to deny liability (which they haven't done).
Therefore the only question is how much I get. Win win!

Takes ages. Simples. Did you trip over your shoelace at work ?

Incidence to payout was under 5 weeks. Have sensible targets and settle.
If you become and arse and start chasing unreasonable figures you will be tied up for ages.
Ooops I didn't realise this was one of our trolls

He isn't as far as I know.
Mine took nearly 2 years and was settled out of court to both out satisfaction in the end, no chance of promotion for me there now
I entered a stairwell in brilliant sunshine, and ran upstairs. The door shut behind me and the light didn't come on; I carefully walked back downstairs in pitch darkness, holding the handrail, but I missed the bottom step and twisted my knee.

Isn't that just an accident?
Lock broke trapping me in a basement room at work, I had to attack the wire meshed glass in the door with an old brick so someone upstairs would hear me shouting, cut and slashed damaged hands, glass left in a cut do had to have it removed sometime after. Just one of those things.....

A pitch-dark stairwell is a disaster waiting to happen. The airport have a duty of care to provide a safe environment...

Did they know about the failed lighting system or had it just failed? If the former then they may be liable but if the latter I fail to see how they are at fault.
I shouldn't go into too much detail; I probably shouldn't discuss it at all, tbh!
They are definitely at fault.
