Claim for Workplace Accident Compensation Law

With the majority of UK adults spending at least 35 or 40 hours a week at the office, for a significant part of your time you trust your employer to provide a safe and hygienic environment to ensure you do not suffer an accident at work.
Unfortunately, accidents at work are commonplace. Whilst these are sometimes caused through our own fault, there are scenarios in which companies could have avoided the incident through more rigorous attention to health and safety detail.

Every employer has a duty of care towards its workers, whether it be in an office space or somewhere with a greater deal of manual labour such as a factory or a construction site. Common incidences are back injuries caused by poor training in lifting and manual handling or allowing workers to use unguarded or faulty machinery.

Even in the office environment, employers must ensure there are no avoidable hazards such as protruding computer leads on the floor. All inside and outside areas must also be properly maintained to minimise the risks of slips and falls that could lead to painful injuries.

An accident at work can have serious health and financial consequences, as you could be left with longstanding health problems or be unable to earn a living whilst you are recovering.

If you have been involved in an incident at work through no fault of your own, you could be entitled to make an accident claim against your employer by consulting a specialist compensation solicitor such as The Accident Advice Bureau. We are experts who have a record of success in this complex and challenging sphere of activity.
