What Is an Accident at Work Claim?

An accident at work claim is made when you are injured or become unwell because of unsafe conditions, poor training, or employer negligence. Employers have a duty to keep you safe, and if they fail, you may have the right to claim.

Our work injury solicitors can help you through the process and guide you in claiming for medical expenses, lost income, and the stress caused by the injury.

Types of Workplace Accident Claims We Handle

Slips and Trips at Work

Slips, trips, and falls are common workplace accidents caused by wet floors, poor lighting, or uneven surfaces. These incidents can lead to serious injury when safety standards are ignored or maintenance is neglected.

Crush Injury Claims

Crush injuries often occur in construction or warehouse settings due to heavy machinery or falling objects. They can cause lasting damage to bones, nerves, and muscles, requiring extensive medical treatment and recovery.

Manual Handling Injury Claims

Improper lifting or carrying without correct training or equipment can cause back, shoulder, or joint injuries. Employers must ensure safe handling practices to protect workers from avoidable harm.

Factory Injury Claims

Factory environments pose risks from machinery, repetitive strain, and poor safety procedures. When training or equipment is lacking, serious injuries can occur, affecting both health and livelihood.

Electric Shock at Work Claims

Electric shocks can cause burns, nerve damage, or life-threatening injuries. Faulty wiring, poor maintenance, or lack of safety checks are common causes of these preventable accidents.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Claims

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects workers who perform repetitive hand or wrist movements. It can cause pain, numbness, and weakness, often linked to poor workplace ergonomics or excessive strain.

Construction Worker Claims

Construction sites carry high risks of falls, machinery accidents, and exposure to hazardous materials. Employers must maintain safe practices to prevent avoidable injuries on site.

Faulty Equipment Claims

Defective or poorly maintained tools and machinery can cause serious workplace injuries. Employers are legally required to ensure all equipment is safe and properly inspected.

Wrong Tools Claims

Using the wrong or unsuitable tools can result in cuts, fractures, or strain injuries. Proper supervision and equipment are essential to prevent accidents and protect workers.

Lack of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

Failure to provide or enforce proper PPE like gloves, helmets, or eyewear exposes workers to unnecessary risk. Employers are responsible for ensuring adequate protection in all work environments.
