Claims for Accidents at Work
If you are unlucky enough to suffer an accident at work, through no fault of your own, we may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation for you.
Our team has vast experience in this area and has handled successful claims for accidents at work within all industry sectors and types of workplace.
Accidents at work may arise from a number of circumstances and for many reasons. These often include:
- Using dangerous or defective machinery / equipment
- Slips on dangerous or defective surfaces
- Injuries gained from lifting or manual handling
- Injuries incurred in Building and Construction
- Exposure to dangerous substances
- Violent attacks by customers or patients
According to the Health and Safety Executive, around £558 million a year is lost by employees (through reduced income and additional expenditure) due to accidents at work.
On top of the financial strain, victims and their families may be greatly affected by pain, stress, loss of amenity and psychological problems depending on the nature of the accident or attack.
Employers must be responsible to ensure that workplaces are safe for their staff - and this responsibility extends to heating and ventilation for work premises, and lighting indoors and outside on site.
If you have experienced an accident at work or as an employer you are facing an accident at work claim, we urge you to seek appropriate legal advice.
