Accident at work claims
Have you been injured in a workplace injury? Workers Compensation made easy
Ganderton Solicitors have broad experience in representing individuals injured at work.
Employers owe a high duty of care in safe guarding your well being at work. Employers are legally obliged to provide safe equipment, machinery and plant along with adequately trained co-workers. If you suffer an accident at work as a result of a lack of protective guards, flying debris, broken or defective equipment or an electric shock then you may be able to claim.
UK Workers Compensation law enables workers, such as yourself, to:-
Receive compensation for injuries sustained, loss of earnings, private medical expenses, loss of overtime or opportunity for promotion if you have suffered an injury throughout the course of your employment.
Your employer must try to ensure that you carry out your work in the safest way possible bearing in mind the type of job that you do, the materials and equipment that you work with and the tasks involved. Employers need to ensure that the place, or places, where you work and their premises in general are safe for their staff. The most obvious example of a breach of this duty would be if office floors were left wet or cluttered with files or cables, on which employees slipped or tripped up. But employers are also responsible for the heating and ventilation of their premises, the lighting and even the car park.
