Employers Liability with Baker Hardman Solicitors
If you have sustained an injury at work because of an accident that was not your fault, then you may be able to make a “no win, no fee” claim against your employer. Our solicitors are here to support you and help you get the compensation that you deserve.
What are Your Employers’ Responsibilities?
Your employer has a legal duty to provide safe working conditions, including health and safety training. Any equipment used should always be maintained and remains safe. Where necessary, your employer should provide correct protective clothing and complete risk assessments so you can carry out your duties safely. If you have sustained an injury at work, because your employer has not provided the above, you may be able to make a claim. You may even be able to claim if a workplace accident made an existing injury or condition worse.
There are different types of work accidents, some include:
- Falls and slips (including, tripping over wires across a floor.)
- Falling from ladders, rooftops, trees, or scaffolding.
- Back and neck injuries from lifting heavy items.
- Faulty machinery or equipment
- Burns, if safety clothing and glasses are not provided.
- Repetitive strains
- Hearing loss from loud machinery, and vehicles.
Making a Claim
Before you make your claim, it’s important to report your work-related accident to your manager and that it is recorded in the accident report book. You can then contact us to discuss making a claim. We guarantee you will speak directly to a legal professional for your free consultation and we will be able to advise on how much compensation you might be able to claim. Get in touch with us early and we can start work on your case. We have a dedicated team of solicitors that will help you get the compensation which will also help pay for medical care and loss of earnings.
Is there a Time Limit to making a Claim?
The standard time limit for starting a workplace accident claim is three years from the date you were injured.
However, there is an exception to this:
- Mental Capacity – if a person is not able to make a claim themselves, then there is no time limit on making a claim.
No Win No Fee
We work on a no-win no fee basis, meaning there is no financial risk to you. There
is nothing to pay upfront, and you only make a payment if your claim is
successful.
We’ll keep you fully updated throughout your claim, so you know how much compensation
you’re likely to receive.
