Accidents at work

We bring many hundreds of such claims each year. We have lawyers with extensive experience of a whole range of industrial accidents, including accidents caused by faulty equipment, slipping and tripping hazards, dangerous lifting operations, unsafe working practices, inadequate protective clothing and accidents caused by colleagues.

  • We represented a man who suffered an ankle injury after tripping on a cardboard box which had been left partly protruding from under a table. The injury did not recover as initially anticipated and he was unable to continue with his pre-accident employment. We successfully negotiated a settlement of £62,500 for his injury and financial losses.
  • We successfully represented a man who suffered injuries whilst unloading a poorly stacked lorry. As he opened the curtain side of the lorry, a loose pallet fell, causing him to damage his teeth. We won £5,000 for him.
  • We acted for a man who injured his back when his seat collapsed beneath him in a meeting. We won £18,000 for his injury and out-of-pocket losses.
