Accidents at work

Accidents at work are still common and it is estimated that they cost British working families well over half a billion pounds a year in reduced income and increased expenses. This is apart from the emotional and physical pain which may need to be endured.

If you do have an accident at work you may well be eligible to claim compensation with a personal injury claim. Remember it not just loss of earnings. Some injuries need special medical treatment and there could be long term consequences. So it makes sense to contact a specialist in personal injury solicitor, such as Law Options as soon as possible so that if required a proper medical assessment can be made.

Law Options organise all specialist medical examinations for their clients without charge and our experts build their personal injury cases to ensure clients receive maximum compensation. Recent accident at work claims we have successfully resolved on behalf of our clients include

• Tripping or slipping on waste material which should have been removed
• Injury from defective or unguarded machinery
• Back injuries from lifting at work
• Building site injuries
• Physical violence at work

Whilst Health and Safety at Work legislation requires employees to act in a reasonable way whilst at work, it also lays a major responsibility on the employer to create and maintain a safe working environment.

Claiming compensation for an injury sustained at work from your employer is not disloyal- they will have insurance to cover such claims. Apart from providing you will the funds and support you will need following an injury at work, such actions help ensure dangers at work are put right so that others are less likely to be injured.
