Employers Liability Claim

Employers Liability Claim

Accidents and Injuries In The Workplace

Before pursuing a claim for an accident at work, you will need to show that your injuries were the result of negligence on the part of your employer.

Remember, making a legitimate compensation claim cannot legally affect your employment status. Any details regarding the series of events leading to the accident must be correctly entered into the accident Book.

However, if you are unsure about your rights and what you can claim for, we will be more than happy to discuss your situation for free.

It is the responsibility of workers to alert employers to any accidents which take place whilst working, however, if your accident was the caused by co-workers, then the blame falls directly at the employers door.

Equipment at work/Slips, trips and falls

Badly managed or maintained equipment, coupled with inadequate equipment and safety training can all be factors that lead to accidents at work. If you have been affected by this kind of accident then you need to get in touch. Although these cases can be difficult, we have a specialist team of solicitors who will use their skills and working knowledge to make your claim run as smoothly as possible.

It is your employer's responsibility to ensure your safety in line with current Health and Safely legislation. If you have been unfortunate to still suffer an injury in the workplace you can make a personal injury claim against your employer.

Industrial Disease

It is common that symptoms of Industrial disease may only occur many years after your employment. The latency of the symptoms can vary from case to case, for example, symptoms from working with asbestos can occur up to 20 years after contact.

The time limit for starting your compensation claim is three years after you have realised your injuries were directly linked to your employment.

However, in some cases this time limit can be extended so contact us immediately for no obligation advice.
