Claims arising from accidents at work
Employers must take all reasonable steps to protect their employees from foreseeable accidents and injury. This means that those who work for them can expect to work in a safe environment with the necessary training, protective clothing (if needed) and equipment to perform their work. Employers must regularly check their workplace facilities and procedures to identify and reduce the risk of injury. They are responsible for accidents caused by their own failure to protect their workers’ safety, and for injury caused by their employees’ negligence at work.
Workplace accidents can sometimes be dismissed as carelessness, with the employee encouraged to assume that it was all their fault. However, if the accident was caused, partly or wholly, by the employer’s negligence, the injured employee may be entitled to compensation for their injuries and financial loss.
If you or a family member have been severely injured at work but are not sure whether the accident should have been prevented, our expert solicitors can advise you quickly, and confidentially, whether you can claim. It costs nothing to talk to us and find out about your rights, and it might open the door to much-needed rehabilitation, practical support and financial help in meeting the costs which follow a serious injury, as well as the long-term security of substantial compensation.
