You get upto 3 years to claim, see how your injury effects you once it's "better"
I damaged tendan in my finger a few years back, in summer it's fine but in the winter months it's feels tight. I claimed but not just because I could

Bottom line its RIDDOR recordable and the barriers were not clearly marked. Its a case and probably a just one, the barriers/chain should have been visible from both sides.

I deal with it.
By all means make a claim, I was probably stupid not to.

health and safety at work and health and safety regs.
TBH employer sounds liable, it would have to be forseeable that you were likely to injury yourself. Sounds like a hazard created and no warning.
3 years limitation from day of accident. get signed up on a cfa and you are away  am a PI solicitor

If I was you, I would speak to them before going down the claiming route. Do you have someone responsible for HSE or HR? Tell them that you can't afford to be on statutory sick pay and see if they're amiable. They might pay you full wage to avoid a payout
