Can I make an accident at work claim?

If you’ve suffered an accident at work due to someone else’s negligence in the last three years, you may be able to claim compensation.

Every employee is entitled to a safe and secure working environment, and it’s your employer’s responsibility to put safety measures in place. But sadly, this doesn’t always happen.

Some common examples of employer negligence include:

• Failing to carry out risk assessments

• Not supplying the necessary protective gear

• Not maintaining machinery and equipment

• Ignoring workplace hazards like wet floors

• Not providing sufficient training

• Overlooking unsafe behaviour from staff members

Whether you work full-time or on a zero-hours contract, you could have grounds to claim if you’ve been injured due to your employer’s negligence.

We can put you in touch with a local solicitor who will help you on a No Win No Fee basis.

What kinds of accidents can First4Lawyers help with?

Our accident at work solicitors have a wide range of expertise. They can assist with claims involving manual handling injuries, slips and trips, falls from a height and more.

Just some examples of the cases our legal experts have worked on include:

• A case involving a stage builder who fell six feet after safety barriers were removed without warning. Our solicitors built a case on his behalf, allowing him to focus on his recovery.

• An incident where a claimant’s foot was reversed over accidentally by a colleague driving a forklift. Surgery was needed to treat the damage, and this was accounted for in the final settlement.

• A case where a claimant was told by his employer to lift heavy steel gears – a task meant for two people. He suffered a serious back injury and contacted our team, who put him in touch with a nearby expert.
