Warehouse Accident Compensation Claims

Understanding Your Rights

Warehouses are busy places to work, and often there are a lot of things happening and different pieces of machinery in use at any one time. Nevertheless, with ample safety measures in place together with the right training for employees, most warehouse accidents should be preventable.

This is why, if you’ve been injured in a warehouse accident due to your employer’s neglect, you may be able to claim for warehouse injury compensation.

You have a right to feel safe while on the premises. Sometimes, those responsible for the safety of the warehouse fail to comply with all health and safety procedures, which can lead to workplace accidents. Examples of common warehouse accident causes include a lack of protective gear, insufficient training, faulty equipment, collisions with fork lift trucks and hazards.

Warehouses, depots and storerooms shouldn’t be hazardous places to work, and if your personal injury was caused by your workplace being unsafe, you should contact Bartletts Solicitors today for specialist advice on whether you have a case to make a warehouse accident compensation claim.
