Employers are legally obliged to ensure a workplace is safe for all employees, this means everything including the environment you work in, the training you receive and the equipment you use must be up-to-date and in line with health and safety standards. If you are involved in an accident or are injured because these standards are not met, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
You can claim compensation for a wide variety of different things including falls from scaffolding, platforms or stairs, serious cuts, burns and bruises, being hit by vehicles on sites, chemical burns, dust and chemical inhalation, faulty tools or equipment, exposure to hazardous substances, back injuries, illness or injury because of improper protective equipment, or injury due to being improperly trained.
If you have been injured at work and still aren’t sure if you can make a claim or not, contact HNK Solicitors for a free no-obligation consultation and we will be able to advise you on whether you can make a claim or not.
