    Accident at Work Compensation Claims

    If you have suffered an accident at work, the decision to bring a claim can be a difficult one. In most cases this will be against your employer or maybe a complaint levelled at a fellow employee. In some cases, it may be a worker or workers from other companies/contractors with who you come into contact within the course of your work.

    Your employers have a duty to ensure you have a safe workplace and a safe system of work and should be insured against such potential claims. Your employer could become responsible in any of the following situations:

    • Incorrect (or lack of) manual handling or other types of training
    • Defective or dangerous equipment or machinery
    • Slips and trips
    • Construction/building site accidents
    • Lack of protective equipment or lack of training
    • A failure to assess the risks of a certain task properly
    • An unsafe workplace
    • Negligence of fellow employees

    We are specialists in accidents at work and work on a no-win, no-fee basis. To find out if you can make a claim for compensation call us on 03330 112 732.
