Accidents at Work
Such instances can include inadequate staff training provision, a failure to maintain safe premises, the issue of unsuitable or unsafe equipment, or the use of inappropriate tools.
The severity and type of injuries sustained by workers during a normal working day vary significantly – from broken or amputated limbs, burns or electrocution and falls from height, to slips and trips, chemical spills and accidents involving vehicles.
Employees can also suffer from industrial disease or work-related illness as a result of a particular employment. While the most serious of these are asbestos-related diseases, conditions including vibration white finger, noise-induced hearing loss, asthmas, and certain skin complaints can be caused by a lack of appropriate safety precautions.

What are my employer’s responsibilities?
An employer is obliged to protect the health and safety of everyone who comes onto his premises in any capacity – as an employee, a supplier, a customer or as a member of the public. Employers who fail in this duty can be liable for prosecution, usually by the Health and Safety Executive or a local government authority.
What will happen if I make a claim against my employer?
If you have suffered injury as the result of an accident at work, it may be that you are worried you will lose your job or cause friction at work if you go ahead with a personal injury claim against your employer.
Most workplace injury claims are covered by the company’s insurance policies and, because accidents can – and do – happen, all responsible employers will ensure they are fully-insured to take account of all eventualities.
But if you do find yourself out of your job or being otherwise victimised for bringing a justifiable work-related damages claim, we can help with employment law advice.

After sustaining a severe brain injury at the age of 19, Mr A suffered a personality change and became prone to angry outbursts to the extent that his family were unable to cope with his behaviour. The success of our personal injury team, assisted by our independent healthcare-trained case manager and rehabilitation team, enabled Mr A to move into rented accommodation with 24-hour support. Now able to pursue new interests and fill his days constructively, he became much happier in himself and his quality of life – and that of his family – improved greatly as a result.
