Accidents at Work
If you have suffered injury during the course of your employment then you may be able to claim damages from your employer. Your employer should have employer’s liability insurance cover as this is compulsory.
The following are common examples of how an employer may be at fault:
- Failure to provide manual handling training when injury is suffered as a result of lifting or carrying
- Not carrying out risk assessments or adequate risk assessments to reduce the risk of injury in the workplace to ensure your place of work and system of work is safe
- Failure to provide safe or adequate work equipment such as dangerous or defective machinery
- An employee being exposed to dangerous or harmful substances
- Slipping or tripping hazards in the workplace
- Not adhering to the vast array of construction industry regulations
- Failure to provide health and safety training and protective equipment
Limitation is usually 3 years from date of the accident in a claim for personal injury damages.
We will pursue your damages claim for you either under a Conditional Fee Agreement (no win no fee) with after the event insurance cover at no cost to you, or under a legal expenses insurance policy. However your claim is funded, we will make sure you keep 100% of your compensation.
