Accidents at work
Accidents at work happen for many reasons. An accident could be just that, an accident, but often it may be through the fault of the employer.
For instance, your employer may not have followed Health and Safety Regulations, you may have been provided with faulty equipment or may not have received the proper training. Your employer is under a duty to provide a safe working environment to minimise the risks of accident and injury to its staff.
If you have an accident at work then you may be able to claim against your employer (who is most likely to have insurance to cover any such claim).
When an employee cannot work after an accident or receives medical advice to undertake light duties only, the employer must then take reasonable steps to accommodate the employee and his or her injuries. If it does not it may be in breach of Employment Law. Our Employment Department can advise you on these issues.
Our experienced Personal Injury solicitors, who deal exclusively with personal injury claims, will assess your case quickly and ensure your claim is presented properly and fully so that you receive maximum compensation.
