Accident at Work Specialists

We understand how such an injury suffered either in your workplace or during your normal working responsibilities can affect you.

Whether you have suffered a minor injury, or as is often the case with the clients we help, a serious injury at work, we know how difficult it can be for people to cope on their own following the immediate and long-term aftermath of an injury.

The work injury itself will be causing you pain and suffering but it can also place limitations on your lifestyle. In addition, you might not be receiving any wages which can add further strain on your situation.

Our Work Accident Solicitors can help you with everything, from claiming for your personal injury and your losses, such as loss of earnings and travel expenses to arranging private medical treatment and rehabilitation to assist in your recovery and get your life back on track. Pursuing compensation for your accident at work is not something you have to do on your own, you need specialist advice.

They were very helpful, better value, and dealt with my claim within 7 months. After a 4 and a half years issue with my previous solicitors.

Samantha Roberts 5 Star Google Rating

I’m incredibly grateful to all at PSR Solicitors. I was sceptical at first of the ‘No Win, No Fee’ basis simply due to never taking legal action before. However, I will have no hesitancy recommending you to other who find themselves in similar circumstances. I’m really pleased with the result.

Employer obligations to your safety

Your employer has a legal obligation to provide you with a clean and safe working environment, proper equipment, and also to ensure that all their staff are trained in all aspects of their job. This includes being fully trained in health and safety at work.

If they fail in their duty to look after you whilst you are working for them then they can be held to account by the law. No one should ever have to go to work and suffer an injury or death.

We understand that you may feel uncomfortable about making an accident at work claim against your employer, particularly as you may have concerns over job safety. The fact is that your employer cannot dismiss you if you are injured due to their negligence in the workplace and they must have insurance in place to cover them. Therefore, it will not be your employed that has to pay for your compensation themselves.

Every case is unique and requires a thorough investigation by an experienced lawyer to have the best chance of succeeding.

Our expert Work Accident Solicitors deal with all types of injury at work compensation claims ranging from workers who suffer minor injuries to employees who suffer life-changing injuries.

If you are looking to claim compensation for an injury you suffered from an accident at work and you want free advice from a fully qualified solicitor then please contact us now. Using one of our dedicated solicitors ensures that you have a better chance of winning your claim and receiving all of the compensation and help that you are entitled to on a No Win No Fee basis. This means that you won't have any legal costs to pay if your claim is unsuccessful so No Win No Fee = No Risk To You.

If you have suffered due to an accident in the workplace or have been injured whilst carrying out your responsibilities at work please talk to the Accident at Work Solicitors at PSR today.

We provide an accredited, first-class service to our clients.

For more information on the potential value of your Injury at work claim, please take a look at our personal injury claims calculator

You cannot be dismissed if you are injured at work through no fault of your own. If you have been fired after an accident either because you were unable to work, or because you have made a compensation claim, then you may have an unfair dismissal case.

Employers are not obligated to pay full salary to a member of staff who is off work due to an injury, even if that injury occured at work. If you are classed as an employee you will qualify for statutory sick pay under certain conditions. Any special sick pay terms will be set out in your contract of employment.

If you are unable to do your job properly because of an injury you sustained while off duty, you emplyer may have the right to dismisss you.

Legally, you are able to take time off using your entitlement to sick days, holiday days or unpaid leave but there may reach a point where a replacement needs to be found to cover your duties and your job may be at risk.

Depending on the circumstances you may be able to make a personal injury claim to cover your financial losses if you are unable to work due to your injuries.

Your health and well-being should be the immediate priority, but as soon as you are able to you should report your accident to somebody in authority.  

Make sure that an Accident Report Form is completed or that your accident is recorded in the accident book.  Try to take photos and/or video of the scene of the accident, and get the contact details of any witnesses.

The more evidence you have of the incident the more likely it is that a claim will be successful.

Paul Rossiter

Managing Director

I am the Managing Director of PSR Solicitors. After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice.  PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 in Shotton, Deeside with this aim. Since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.  

I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales.

I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Mark House

Solicitor - Head of Litigation

I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.

With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.

Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.

In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.

I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.

What does the law say about Accidents at Work?

The law is there to protect you. As an employee the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASAWA) is the legislation that governs how your health, safety and welfare must be protected in the workplace.

The law clearly sets out the responsibilities for your employer to ensure that your working environment is safe and that you are protected against any injury or other risk to your health while you are at work.

The law says that your employer must provide:

  • A safe working environment.
  • Safe equipment and machinery.
  • Suitable protective clothing.
  • Thorough and regular risk assessments in line with the regulations.
  • Effective processes to limit or control any hazards.
  • Adequate training and supervision especially with regard to handling dangerous equipment or substances.
  • Adequate facilities for staff welfare.
  • A staff representative to take responsibility for health and safety within the workplace.
  • Information about potential risks in the workplace including chemical substances, equipment or activity.
  • Safe and competent people working alongside you, who won’t endanger you or others.

Further responsibilities for employers are set out in the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 to protect employees against injury from handling heavy loads.

Manual Handling is defined by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) as “any transporting or supporting of a load including the lifting, putting down, pushing, carrying or moving thereof by hand or bodily force.”

The Manual Handling Operations Regulations take a three-tier approach:

  • Avoid the need for any manual handling that carries the risk of injury wherever possible. This may be done by breaking down loads into more manageable sizes or re-designing tasks.
  • Carry out a risk assessment where manual handling is unavoidable, taking into consideration the tasks, the weight and the size of the load as well as the working environment including the available space.
  • Implement systems to minimise any risks.

If your employer fails to fulfil any of these responsibilities and you are injured whilst carrying out your job then you may be able to make a claim for compensation against them.
