Types of Claims We Handle for Accidents at Work
Workplace accidents happen in many different ways, and our team has experience with all types of accident-at-work claims. Our clients claiming for an accident at work may have experienced one or more of the following:
- Slips and Trips at Work – Slips and trips are some of the most common workplace accidents. They can happen because of wet floors, loose cables, or poor lighting. These accidents might seem minor, but they can cause serious injuries. Broken bones, concussions, and back problems are all possible.
- Crush Injury Claims – Crush injuries happen when part of your body gets caught or pressed by heavy objects or machinery. These injuries are often very serious. They can cause broken bones, nerve damage, or even the loss of limbs. Crush injuries often occur because of faulty equipment or poor safety measures. If this has happened to you, our solicitors will help you get the accident at work compensation you deserve.
- Manual Handling Injuries – Manual handling means lifting, carrying, or moving things by hand. Poor manual handling can cause back injuries, muscle strains, and joint problems. Your employer should train you on safe lifting techniques and provide the required equipment. If they haven’t, our team will help prove they didn’t follow proper safety rules.
- Factory Injury Claims – Factories can be dangerous places to work. Heavy machinery, chemicals, and noise all create risks. Factory workers can face cuts, burns, hearing loss, and breathing problems. Your employer must provide safety equipment and proper training. If they don’t and you get hurt, you can make a factory accident claim.
- Electric Shock at Work Claims – Electric shocks at work can cause burns, heart problems, and even death. These accidents often happen because of faulty wiring or equipment. Your employer should regularly check electrical systems and provide proper training. If you’ve suffered an electric shock on the job, trust our accidents-at-work solicitors to handle your case.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Claims – Carpal tunnel syndrome affects your hands and wrists. It’s caused by doing the same movements repeatedly. Office workers, factory workers, and computer users often develop this condition. If your employer doesn’t provide proper equipment and regular breaks, you may have a carpal tunnel syndrome claim.
- Construction Worker Claims – Construction sites are often the most dangerous workplaces. Falls, cuts, and injuries from machinery are common. Construction workers also face risks from scaffolding, tools, and heavy materials. Our solicitors understand construction law and safety requirements, so reach out to us if you get hurt at work.
Understanding Your Right to Compensation for Accidents at Work
When you’re injured at work, you have the right to compensation. However, getting this compensation isn’t always easy. Your employer will likely have insurance to cover workplace injuries, but insurance companies often try to pay as little as possible.
They might question your injury or even blame you for the accident. That’s why you need expert accidents-at-work solicitors. We know how to deal with insurance companies.
Our team will calculate the full amount you deserve and gather evidence to prove your case. Compensation for an accident at work can include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Future lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Care costs
- Equipment or home adaptations
