How We Can Support Your Accident at Work Claim

Falls From Height

Falls from height often result in serious injuries and even death.

Our work accident lawyers have experience of claims arising from falls from scaffolding, gantries, silos, ladders, cherry pickers and other access equipment.
Accidents Involving Work Equipment

If work equipment is faulty or not properly maintained/inspected then accidents can happen.

Serious injuries can result when dangerous work equipment is not properly guarded.

Our specialist solicitors have won cases involving fork lifts, unguarded machinery, farm machinery and unsafe electrical equipment.
Manual Handling

Injuries, often back injuries, can result from lifting things at work.

Risk assessments should be carried out on manual handling tasks and where avoidable injury occurs employers can be liable.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Examples of PPE are safety gloves, safety helmets and safety footwear.

If suitable PPE is not provided then accidents can result.

Our specialist injury lawyers have won claims for failure to provide equipment and for the provision of inadequate or defective PPE.
Accidents on Farms and Construction Sites

Some places of work are more dangerous than others and require careful management and continuous assessment of risk. Our specialist team has extensive experience of farm and building site accidents as well as warehouses, factories and many other settings.
Slips and Trips

Workplace floors should be kept safe. They should not be unnecessarily slippery and must be free from trip hazards.
Systems of Work

Sometimes accidents happen because systems of work are inadequate or break down. For example, not providing safe pedestrian routes where fork lifts are in operation or failing to provide a banksman or lookout for an overhead crane or reversing vehicle. Employers must ensure safe systems are devised and followed.
Vicarious Liability

Employers are obliged to provide competent and properly trained co-workers. Sometimes accidents are caused by fellow workers. It may be that their employer will be liable for their actions. This is known as vicarious liability.

Health and Safety Executive (HSE)

The HSE is a UK Government agency responsible for the encouragement, regulation and enforcement of workplace health, safety and welfare.

In serious accident at work cases the HSE will investigate the accident and sometimes criminal prosecutions can follow.

Our team will keep you regularly informed on how your accident at work claim is progressing, are friendly and approachable, and willing to explain the process in plain English.

Inquests

If, tragically, somebody dies as a result of an accident at work then there will be an inquest into his or her death.

Our expert accident at work solicitors can arrange representation and provide legal advice for families at inquests in the Coroners Courts. As experts in our field we can make sure you get the answers you are entitled to from the coroner's investigation.
