Accident-at-Work Claims
Ashworth Law’s specialist solicitors deal with all kinds of accident-at-work compensation claims. Our dedicated team will provide friendly, professional and expert accident-at-work compensation advice, as well as information on employment-related issues and benefit advice where appropriate.
Your employer has a duty to ensure that you are able to carry out your work in the safest way possible taking into account the job that you do, the equipment and materials that you deal with and the tasks involved. Employers must ensure that the work place is safe for all members of staff. If your employer has breached this duty and an accident has occurred, then they may be liable to pay compensation.
Accident-at-work claims include:
- Injuries caused by dangerous or poorly maintained machinery
- Injuries resulting from a lack of training or inadequate supervision
- Slips, trips or falls caused by dangerous surfaces or workplace debris
- Injuries caused by lifting or manual handling within the workplace (without training)
- Exposure to harmful, hazardous and dangerous substances
- Employees exposed to violence from customers or patients
