Accident At Work Compensation Claims Solicitors

Are you the victim of an accident at work?

For many of us having an accident at work can result in serious injury and in some cases even mental trauma.  Your place of work should be a safe environment for all its employees.

It is the duty of employers to provide any necessary training, procedures, protective clothing and to abide by proper health & safety law practices.  These requirements are in force regardless of the nature of your work or workplace environment.

At Everyday Claims we deal with thousands of different work accidents in all kinds of situations. Accidents can arise in many different ways including:

• A slip or trip at work - for example a blocked walkway, tripping over cables or wires, slipping on a wet surface, falling down stairs
• A factory accident - for example faulty machinery, lack of protective clothing or safety measures, insufficient training
• Forklift truck accident - for example a warehouse accident
• Road accident - your job may involve being on the road a lot doing your job. 
• Lifting heavy objects - people can easily get back, leg and knee injuries from lifting heavy objects at work

Types of work related industrial diseases

In addition to everyday accidents and injuries, employees can suffer debilitating diseases and chronic pain over a period of time such as:

• Asbestos - Asbestosis and mesothelioma affect the victim's breathing through scarring of the lungs.  This process can take a long time (20 - 30 years).
