What Do Our Accident At Work Solicitors Do?
Our accident at work solicitors deal with all types of no-fault accidents at work, including:
• Slips, Trips, And Falls.
Slips, trips, and falls are some of the more common workplace accidents. Inadequate lighting, spilt liquids, and cluttered corridors can all contribute to the risk of sustaining an injury due to a slip, trip, or fall at work.
Your employer should take reasonable steps to reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls among their workers. For example, they should ensure all areas are adequately lit and use appropriate signage around spillages they’re made aware of. If your employer fails to do so and you are injured as a result, our accident at work solicitors will help you claim the compensation you’re entitled to.
• Falls From Height.
Falls from height can result in injuries ranging from minor bruising to catastrophic brain damage. Some workers, such as those in the construction industry, are more likely to fall from height while at work, but anyone who climbs on a table or uses a ladder to retrieve something may be at risk.
Your employer must ensure that processes are in place to mitigate the risk of their workers falling from a height. For example, they should ensure all equipment is appropriately maintained and safe to use and provide ongoing training on the appropriate use of such equipment.
If your employer’s safety practices fall short of what could be deemed ‘reasonable’ and you are injured as a result, speak to our accident at work solicitors. We will consider the circumstances of your accident and advise on the possibility of making a personal injury claim against your employer.
• Handling, Lifting, And Carrying Accidents.
Many jobs require workers to regularly lift, push, carry, or pull heavy objects. If proper precautions aren’t taken, these actions can cause immediate injuries like strains and sprains as well as long-term conditions.
Your employer should put reasonable measures in place to reduce the risk of their employees suffering an injury due to manual work. For example, they might offer regular training on how to perform your role safely. If your employer does not do what is reasonable to prevent an accident and you suffer an injury, our accident at work solicitors are here to help you bring a personal injury claim for the compensation you deserve.
• Machinery Accidents.
Many types of machinery have the potential to cause accidents if not properly maintained and used. Sometimes, those accidents result in minor injuries, such as cuts. Other times, the injuries can be far more severe, like crushing injuries and amputations.
Your employer has a legal duty to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of any workers using machinery. For example, they should provide regular training to anyone operating machinery and undertake regular inspections to confirm the machinery is fit for purpose.
How Do Our Accident At Work Solicitors Charge?
We are committed to ensuring that anyone injured in an accident at work can hold their employer to account for their failings and receive the compensation they deserve. We understand that legal costs can be a worry for many clients, so we act for most of our personal injury clients on a no win, no fee basis.
When we act for you on a no win, no fee basis, we agree not to charge you any legal fees until such time as your claim succeeds. At that stage, you agree to pay us the sum set out in your no win, no fee agreement. That sum can’t be more than 25% of the compensation you receive, either following trial or, more likely, through settlement.
The effect of no win, no fee arrangements is that you are able to make a personal injury claim against your employer without taking on any financial risk.
