Industrial Claims

Regardless of the industry in which you are employed, employers around the world are required by law to insure their workers against injury. In the UK they are bound by a duty of care regulation. In order for an employer to maintain safety regulations in the workplace they are required to carry out regular risk assessments as well as provide regular safety training and health training in industries that require it, and they should also provide all employees with protective equipment. If you happen to be someone working in construction, for example, your employer should provide you with a hard hat, safety glasses, gloves, boots, and earplugs at the very least. Likewise, if you work in a chemical factory your employer will generally be required to provide you with a protective suit as well as a respirator and other safety gear.

If you have suffered an accident on the job or have developed some form of a disease as a result of poor working conditions, you are eligible to make a personal injury claim against your employer. Keep in mind that any compensation you receive will come from the insurance company, not your employer, and under the law you are not allowed to be dismissed from your job for making personal injury claims against your employer. If you are making a personal injury claim as a result of a work-related injury or disease, contact a no win no fee lawyer for more information on the exact process required, as well as what information you will need to provide to make a successful claim.
