When you said "coming off a site", if you were working at the time, then it would be classed as an industrial injury, so it is very unlikely that they WON'T pay you I would have thought.
The potential for HSE investigations and no-win, no fee lawyers nowadays is so high, the typical employer doesn't want to go down THAT rathole!

I feel sorry for the piece of wood, there it was lying around minding it's own business and "BANG" some bloke falls over it.

i remember in the summer my brother falling of a set of ladders and busting a couple of ribs, i found out of my uncle but when he told me i was painting a 33 sah windows so every day i was up the ladders, i text me brother
'lol'
he text me with three questions marks, i replied with
'just working up some ladders and thought of you!!! lol'
all i got was
'C%*T'

thats the worst bit about having a accient at work is getting the sh*t ripped out of you when you go back to work
