ACCIDENTS AT WORK

Beesley and Company are experts in the field of accidents at work.

This is a specialist area of personal injury and not everyone who claims to do personal injury work will understand and properly advise you on such a claim. We can.

Compensation will be paid to you if you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else whether it be your employer, a fellow employee or another company working at your place of work.

Employers are under a legal duty to ensure that the people working for them are not at risk of injury. An employer is required to provide a safe system of work, safe fellow employees, a safe place of work and safe equipment. Any injury caused in the workplace may result in a claim for personal injury arising from the employers failure to provide a safe work environment. Examples of such accidents are

Defective machinery
Slips or trips on dangerous surfaces or on debris
Injuries caused by lifting, moving heavy items
Exposure to dangerous substances
Accident of building and construction sites
Accidents caused by negligent fellow employees
Assaults/violence from patients, customers or fellow employees
Delegated tasks without proper training, supervision and safety equipment

All employers are required to have insurance for liability for accidents in the work place. Any damages are therefore paid by the insurer and not directly by the employer.

If you have had an accident at work you are by no means alone. Tens of thousands of people in the UK have accidents at work every year. Some can be minor whilst others far more serious threatening physical , mental and financial future for the employee and their families. You are entitled to recover damages for the injuries sustained plus any attributable financial losses caused by the injury. This includes loss of earnings caused by your inability to continue to work whether it be for 1 day or for the rest of your working life.

There may be occasions when you feel that no one is to blame. Legally this may not be the case and you may still have a claim. Let us be the judge of your situation. We can provide FREE advice to you as to whether you have a claim and if so why. Contact us and we can give you an immediate assessment of your claim and if it has merit we can be working for you that very same day.
