TYPES OF INJURY CLAIM

Slip, Trip or Fall

Have you been injured in a slip, trip or fall?

The types of injuries sustained from a slip, trip or fall are some of the most common types of accidents, affecting thousands of people in the UK every year.

A simple slip can cause very serious injuries such as back injuries, broken bones, paralysis, and head injuries.

As many slips and trips occur in the workplace or working environment and maybe due to poor health and safety regulations it is possible that your injuries could have been prevented, making a claim possible.

To make a slip trip and fall claim you must have been injured in the last three years and the accident must have been somebody else’s fault, and you required medical attention.

We can help claim for accidents on roads, footpaths, pavements, commercial premises and at your workplace.

Falling Object

Being hit by a falling object can result in serious injury to you, yet these kinds of serious accidents sadly happen all too often.

Health and Safety in the workplace is a serious matter and your employer has a legal responsibility to reduce the risk of injury to you and your fellow employees.

This means that they should ensure your safety and protect you from the danger of falling objects at work. If they have not adequately protected you and you suffer an injury as a result, you could be entitled to compensation.

Falling object injuries typically happen in all sorts of different workplaces but often include some of the following:

Items not being stacked properly in warehouses or on shelving in supermarkets
Safety netting not being in place on scaffolding at construction sites
Objects falling from your workplace building or the interior due to poor maintenance
Faults or poor maintenance with machinery which causes parts to come off, tear off or fall

Negligence of co-workers

There are occasions where injuries can result from accidents at work are caused by the negligence of a fellow employee.

For example, a colleague may have driven into you whilst operating a forklift truck, or perhaps you were injured by a piece of machinery that a fellow colleague wasn’t properly trained to handle. We have even had claims arise were police and prison service officers were injured due to the insufficient training of their colleague resulting in an assault in the workplace.

As such an injury suffered directly due to the negligence of a co-worker can not only cause long-term physical damage, it can also have a serious impact on your livelihood, particularly if you are unable to work for a long period of time.

Dangerous Machinery

Health and Safety in the workplace is a serious matter and your employer has a legal responsibility to reduce the risk of injury to you and your fellow employees.

This duty of care extends to ensuring that any machinery or equipment in your workplace has adequate health and safety training in place, for its use, but crucially, that the machinery or equipment itself is safe to operate and is free from defect.

Accidents at work involving machinery and work equipment are a common cause of injury. If you have suffered an injury whilst using work equipment or machinery you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Defective Equipment

Health and Safety in the workplace is a serious matter and your employer has a legal responsibility to reduce the risk of injury to you and your fellow employees.

This duty of care extends to ensuring that any machinery or equipment in your workplace has adequate health and safety training in place, for its use, but crucially, that the machinery or equipment itself is safe to operate and is free from defect.

In recent times, with the public so much more aware of Personal Protective Equipment, it is important to remember that defective equipment can also relate to the wrong type of equipment, for example, not being issued with the correct safety equipment for your role, or the tasks you perform.

Insufficient Training

Aside from the legally binding “duty of care” that all employers have towards their employees, there are specific pieces of legislation which protect the health and safety of employees and if that duty of care in breached in respect of you or your colleagues not receiving adequate and appropriate training and you sustain an injury as a direct result, you could be entitled to claim compensation.

Assault at Work

Workers should expect, and rightly deserve, to be kept safe from danger and hazards in their place of work and to return home each day unharmed.

UK Health and Safety law imposes strict duties on employers to protect their workers from injury, even including deliberate acts of violence such as an attack or assault in the workplace.

Employers who fail to address or minimise the risk of violence against their workers may be liable if assaults in the workplace occur.

Industrial injuries

Industrial injury claims refers to any injury, disability or disease that can be directly attributed to an individual’s working environment and was due to some form of negligence.

There is a wide range of conditions that come under the purview of industrial injury but typically include some of the following;

Exposure to harmful materials (such as asbestos)
Exposure to harmful chemicals (such as chromium)
Hearing loss & deafness due to high noise decibels in the workplace
Repetitive strain injury or carpal tunnel syndrome due to repeated use of a certain devices, equipment or machinery
Asthma due to exposure to dust/fumes

If you are injured or disabled or you contract some sort of disease in the course of performing your job in any workplace in the UK, you may be eligible to claim compensation for industrial injury.
