Accidents at work

Every organisation has a duty of care to ensure all its employees and visitors are safe and protected from accidents in the workplace. It must try to ensure that work is carried out in the safest way possible bearing in mind the type of job you are required to do, the materials and equipment to be used, the tasks involved and the procedures to be followed. 

If you are unfortunate enough to suffer an accident at work, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation.

Examples of accident at work claims include those caused by:

• Defective or dangerous machinery
• Inadequate training given to you and/or your colleagues
• A lack of appropriate personal protective equipment
• Being required to follow procedures which are not safe
• Slips or trips on debris or hazardous surfaces
• Injuries involving lifting or manual handling
• Exposure to harmful and dangerous substances
• Working at height and falling
• Physical attacks.

If you think that you may have a valid claim, then please telephone one of our personal injury specialist lawyers free on 01843 220288 or use our contact form on this page.

Your initial consultation can be face to face or over the telephone and we can sometimes offer remote video appointments.  We make no charge for the initial consultation during which our personal injury lawyers will assess your claim on its merits, explain how successful it is likely to be and, if possible, the amount you might be able to claim.

There is no obligation and no charge to talk to us and you will have your own dedicated friendly lawyer from start to finish.

Our lawyers accept compensation claims instructions on a ‘no win no fee’ basis and if your prospects of success are high enough, we will help you bring a compensation claim against the people or organisation responsible for the accident.
