All
employers have a duty to look after the well being of their employees.
To do this they must maintain a safe system and place of work. There
is a minefield of laws and regulations that employers must follow
to achieve this. These regulations cover such diverse matters as
Manual Handling training, provision of protective equipment in the
workplace, and measures employers should take if any employees work
at heights. These are just the tip of the iceberg.
If you
have been injured whilst at work, then please contact us to discuss
whether you may have a claim for compensation. Alternatively,
please complete our online claim form. It is always important
to seek legal advice as soon as possible after an accident. We
will have to write to your employer to obtain records of any risk
assessments and accident reports before deciding whether the employer
took reasonable care. All employers must also take out compulsory
insurance, in the same way that motorists do, and you should not
be concerned if you remain in the job in which you have been injured.
Accidents
at work are often serious, resulting in broken bones and time
off work. We will ensure you are fully compensated for your suffering,
and will also claim any lost earnings. We can also claim for any
care and assistance that has been provided by friends or family,
such as help with gardening, washing, driving etc.
