Employers have a legal duty to keep you safe at work. If you've been injured because that duty was breached — through unsafe conditions, faulty equipment or inadequate training — our solicitors can help you claim the compensation you deserve.
Have you suffered an accident at work that wasn't your fault? Perhaps you were given inadequate or no training, or your employer failed to carry out a proper risk assessment, provide safe equipment, or maintain a safe working environment. If so, you may be entitled to compensation.
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and related regulations, employers must take reasonable steps to protect employees' health and safety, and by law under the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 they must hold insurance to cover valid claims — so pursuing a claim will not leave your employer personally out of pocket.

Most workplace accidents fall into one of the following categories, though we're happy to discuss any incident, whatever the circumstances.
Injuries from falls involving ladders, scaffolding, mezzanines or other work at height where safety measures were inadequate.
Accidents caused by poorly maintained, defective or unsafely operated tools, machinery or vehicles.
Back, joint and muscle injuries caused by unsafe lifting, carrying or manoeuvring of loads without proper training or equipment.
Claims where a lack of proper training, instruction or supervision contributed directly to an accident.
Employers must comply with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, including carrying out risk assessments. Serious accidents must also be reported under RIDDOR 2013. If these duties are breached and you're injured as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.
Raising a claim against your employer is a legal right, and by law it cannot affect your job security.
Tell us what happened, including how your employer failed to keep you safe. Everything discussed is treated in strict confidence.
We review accident book entries, RIDDOR reports, risk assessments, witness statements and any HSE involvement to establish liability.
We deal directly with your employer's liability insurer, so you're not left negotiating with your employer yourself.
We negotiate a settlement that reflects your injury, lost earnings and any ongoing care needs — on a No Win No Fee basis throughout.
By law, employers must hold liability insurance and cannot lawfully dismiss or penalise you for making a genuine claim. Speak to us in confidence today.
