Accident at Work Claims

If you have been involved in an accident while at work and you have suffered injury or loss because of that accident, if the employer can be proved to be at fault for causing the accident and the losses, the Law in England & Wales provides a route of compensation for you.

To put it very simply, if the accident was not your fault and you have suffered an injury and/or other losses then you may have claim against the person who negligently caused you harm.

Here are just some examples of the types of claims in which we have successfully helped clients following their accidents at work;

  • An injury sustained after an employer failed to provide suitable equipment to a worker which would have prevented the injury.
  • A Fall in a corridor, office or walkway at work after tripping over objects negligently left where somebody could fall over them and injure themselves.
  • An injury sustained after a fellow employee injured a co-worker while carrying out work related activities.
  • A construction site accident in which a client fell from a scaffold and ladders which were badly maintained and inadequately secured or footed.
  • A trip / fall on an icy car park which was not gritted properly.
  • A grid cover collapsing beneath a clients feet while she was walking over it.

Other common types of accident can result from;

  • Unsafe Machinery.
  • Dangerous Procedures & Practices at Work.

There is huge amount of law and regulation in place which if followed properly by an employer should help avoid an employee becoming injured. Where the employer has failed to comply with that regulation and an employee has been injured as a result then it is only right that recourse is there for the injured person to be put back in the position that they were before the accident.

To put you back in the position you were before the accident you may need to claim for;

  • Injury Compensation.
  • Loss of Earnings.
  • Medical Expenses.
  • Transport costs.
  • Rehabilitation.
  • The cost of help from family and friends.

In serious cases;

  • Rehousing costs.
  • Prosthetics.
  • Loss of Pension.
  • Future losses.

Of course these are only just a few of the types of losses that we have successfully helped our clients make claims for.
