Industrial Accidents
Whether you work on building sites, in a factory or a warehouse, the workplace can be a hazardous place.
Faulty,
defective, or dangerous equipment, lack of training, or lack
of supervision are just some examples of how accidents occur.
Particluarly commonplace are injuries arising from forklift truck
accidents, falls from height, crush injuries, and manual handling
claims.
These accidents can be caused by employer negligence, by sheer misfortune or through incompetence, but more often than not they could have been easily avoided.
This could be the fault of your employer, a work colleague or another company carrying out work on-site, but employers have by law a duty of care to employees and are obliged to create a safe working environment as far as reasonably possible.
Employers have to comply with safety regulations and if your employer is at fault by failing to comply with any of these regulations, then we may be able to help you claim for compensation.
Accidents could result in long-term health problems, a loss of income and livelihood, stress and pain, as well as the hassle of paying medical bills.
Aside from helping you, compensation will also help encourage your employer to be less negligent in the future, reducing the chance of an industrial accident occurring again.
And your employee rights will be protected, as the law ensures that you do not have to worry about losing your job if you claim.
