Accidents at work or in a public place

Accidents at work

Accidents at work can vary considerably depending on the type of workplace. We’ve helped clients who’ve commonly worked within an industrial or manufacturing environment; development constructions; farms; offices and retail areas.

Causes of injury are just as varied. Inadequate training or supervision can lead to a high risk of injury, as can defective equipment and poor lifting or manual handling instruction, particularly when handling heavy machinery. Slips or trips are common in places of high footfall such as communal office areas or shops.

Whatever the injury, employers are under an obligation to provide a safe environment in which to work. If you or a family member have been hurt in an accident at work which wasn’t your fault, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation.

To find out more about your potential compensation claim, contact our personal injury team now to take advantage of a free initial interview. There’s no obligation to take your claim further and we’ll talk you through the levels of compensation and funding options available. Remember, time limitation periods apply so you should seek advice as soon as possible.

Accidents in a public place

We’ve helped clients of all ages who have injured themselves whilst in a public place. Common accidents include slips or trips as a result of defective pavements or slippery walking surfaces within shops and supermarkets.

Cases range from those representing the elderly or disabled, where the injuries sustained can have a significant impact on the recovery needed; to claims involving children who were injured at playgrounds or playgroups due to faulty equipment or poor supervision. Anything from falling objects to poor signage could lead to an injury in any given public place.

We understand that an injury or illness can affect the way an individual goes about their everyday life. If you or a family member have been hurt in an accident in a public place which wasn’t your fault, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation.
