Workplace accident claims can arise from many situations, including falls, unsafe equipment, inadequate training, defective machinery, hazardous environments or employer negligence.

Workplace claims may involve physical injuries, occupational illnesses, or accidents caused by a failure to follow health and safety duties.
Accidents at work result in the loss of millions of pounds to injured employees each year as well as the loss to the economy caused by the enforced absence of accident victims from work. Accident victims and their families suffer as a result of the pain and disability caused by the injuries, which quite often can be very serious.
Employers have a duty to ensure that the workplace and the equipment within it are as safe as possible, that safe systems of work are in place and adequate training is given to employees to enable them to safely carry out their jobs.
Accidents at work can be caused in many ways including:
- Machinery accidents
- Lifting or manual handling accidents
- Falls, slips and trips
- Exposure to harmful or dangerous substances
- Construction accidents
- Defective or inadequate equipment.
If you are injured in an accident at work caused by the negligence and/or breach of statutory duty of your employer or by a fellow employee, then you may be able to make an injury at work claim for compensation.

No Win, No Fee Accidents at Work Claims Explained
We handle many personal injury claims on a No Win No Fee basis, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
This means you pay nothing if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, your opponent will usually cover most of your legal costs, and a success fee will be deducted from your compensation.
We share the risk with you, meaning you only pay if your claim is successful. We will explain all funding options, your chances of success and how to maximise your compensation before you decide whether to proceed.
To discuss your options, arrange a free and confidential consultation with our solicitors by calling 0191 5666500. There is no obligation to make a claim, and our initial advice is free.
