Are you looking for a Rochdale firm of solicitors to discuss whether you can claim compensation after an accident at work? Have you suffered an injury in the workplace and need confidential expert advice?
Here at Whitestone Solicitors we can offer you friendly, confidential advice throughout Rochdale and the surrounding areas, so regardless of where the accident has happened, we are here to help.
Your employer has a duty of care to protect both its customers and its employee and if they have failed to do so, it may be possible to make a compensation claim if you have sustained an injury as a result of the accident.
When an accident has occurred in the workplace you employer will be referred to their Public Liability Insurance who's intention will be to defend and deter any potential claims. Hence the value of appointing an experienced compensation and personal injury solicitor at the outset should be a key part of making a claim.
Some examples of workplace injuries include;
• Slips and trips caused by spillage or unclean surfaces.
• Burns and scolds
• Food poisoning as a function of under prepared food stocks.
• Assault at work
• Construction accidents
• Farm accidents
• Dangerous machinery and faulty equipment
• Forklift truck injury
• Scaffolding accidents and falls from height
To make a workplace injury compensation claim we suggest;
-
You take pictures of any injuries and the recordable circumstances.
-
Make a complaint to your manager and ask for the incident to be recorded in the "accident book".
-
Visit a Doctor or A&E in order to officially record your injuries.
We can support your compensation claim against your employer and would ask that you either call us on 0800 8101010 or complete the form on the right and we'll call you back.
