Industrial & Machine Accidents

If you have suffered an accident at work, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation. Call now on 0800 3213 3239 for a no obligation chat with one of our solicitors.

Work accident compensation claims usually involve a claim for compensation for injury (both physical and psychological) together with a claim for loss of earnings for the time the injured person spends off work. Other expenses such as travel costs and medical bills can also be recovered.

In the case of more serious injures there can be compensation claims for future losses also if they cannot return to their job due to the nature of the injury they have suffered or they can only work reduced hours.

The effects of such work accidents can be far reaching for the injured person and their family.

More often than not these accidents result in very serious injuries as they tend to involve machinery where users can lose fingers, hands or even limbs or they involve hazardous substances such as acid or molten metal where horrific disfigurement and scarring can occur.

There are numerous machines such as drills, sanders and grinders which by their very nature are dangerous to use and full training should be provided together with safety equipment (guards, masks, gloves).

Accidents can also be the result of old or badly maintained machines or the removal of safety guards. Lack of training can also be a relevant factor if people are not shown how to operate machines properly or they are unaware how their actions may affect others working on or nearby a machine.
