Claiming compensation for accidents at work
Your employer has a responsibility for your health and wellbeing at work, laid down by law. If this law is broken, you can make a personal injury claim against your employer. We have detailed knowledge of the relevant Health and Safety regulations of work practices and we understand exactly the duty employers owe their employees.
We identify where they fail in these duties, resulting in accidents or exposure to hazardous substances, we know how to counteract employer claims of contributory negligence in which they try to establish joint blame, and can greatly affect your compensation.
Backed by our specialist expertise and established track record of successful claims, we are members of the Greater Manchester Victim Asbestos Support Group and the Royal British Legion Solicitors Panel and we act for members of the Communication workers Union in the North West.
The areas we cover include:
- Manual handling
- Work equipment
- Personal protective equipment
- Workplace accidents
- Falling from height cases
- Work related stress cases
We also handle industrial disease cases including:
- Noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus claims (deafness)
- Hand/arm vibration syndromes (vibration white finger)
- Work related upper limb disorders
- Occupational asthma
