- Accidents At Work
If you have been injured as a result of an accident at work that was not your fault then you may be entitled to compensation.
Employers owe various duties of care to their employees which include providing:
- Suitable work equipment
- Suitable Personal Protective Equipment
- Appropriate training and instruction
- A reasonable safe system of work
Sadly, due to an employer breaching these duties or due to a co-worker’s negligence an employee can suffer an accident. Accidents at work can lead to serious injury or sadly sometimes can result in an employee losing their life. In those circumstances, you, and your family in a fatal case, may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.
An accident can happen anywhere from an industrial factory to an office. Walker Laird have been providing expert legal advice for over 200 years and have dealt with hundreds of Accident at Work claims with some of the most common injuries being:
- Sprains and strains
- Work-related dermatitis
- Broken bones
- Chemical burns
We also have experience of representing clients suffering from work related asbestos diseases such as Mesothelioma, Asbestosis and Pleural Plaques.
Clients can often find themselves unable to work after an accident and in certain circumstances unable to return to work at all.
