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.

Mr J Cheshire 5 Star Google Rating

I find your service to be highly recommendable. May I say that I am more than pleased with the way you have handled my claim for compensation and I would fully recommend your services to anyone.

Mrs W Mold 5 Star

My case was handled in a courteous and professional manner from beginning to end. I was kept informed throughout and the settlement obtained was very satisfactory.

John Rossiter 5 Star Google Rating

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 found PSR solicitors very help full and professional in their handling of my claim and would recommend the firm to any one.

About electrical accidents

Electricity is an intrinsic and important part of our daily lives but if care is not taken it can be the cause of serious and sometimes fatal accidents. The risks of being involved in an electrical accident can increase at work, particularly if the correct health and safety procedures are not followed and implemented.

The most common claims we see caused by electrical injury in the workplace include:

Electric Shock Claims

If you are directly exposed to a live electrical current it can cause serious harm including heart and respiratory failure. The potential symptoms of an electric shock are wide-ranging and can include everything from a mild, tingling sensation to muscle spasms, seizures, and loss of consciousness.

Electrical Burn Claims

Burns caused by an electric shock can be extremely painful and life-altering, often requiring surgery and skin grafts. Internal burns caused by an electrical current passing through the bones and deep tissue of the body are particularly serious and distressing.

Electrical Fire Injury Claims

These are particularly dangerous as they are often made worse by using water to try and extinguish them and can cause a subsequent electric shock. Most electrical accidents at work are the result of poorly maintained equipment, faulty or exposed wiring, contact with overhead power lines, or inadequate training.

We have helped thousands of clients to successfully win their claims following accidents at work, so if you have been injured while carrying out your job and it wasn’t your fault then you need to speak to qualified solicitors as soon as possible.

Your legal rights at work

Employers have a duty of care to protect employees and visitors to their premises from accident or injury. This includes making sure that all electrical equipment is regularly checked, maintained and safe to use. If your employer has failed in these duties and you have been hurt as a result then you are able to pursue a compensation claim to cover your medical care, loss of earnings and additional expenses resulting from your accident.

Many of our clients are particularly concerned about pursuing action against their employer however and worry how this might impact on their job in the future. It is illegal for your employer to harass you or make life uncomfortable for you at work as a result of your claim and you are fully protected in this regard.

Your employer will have employer’s liability insurance to cover claims such as this so your compensation won’t impact financially on them or their business. We cover all areas of employment law as part of our legal service to you and will advise and support you throughout.

About Electrical Injury Compensation Claims

If your accident has taken place in the last three years and was caused fully or partially by someone else, then you could be entitled to compensation. Your final settlement will depend on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work-life and whether you are expected to make a full recovery.

Your compensation award is a justified financial redress for what has happened and is designed to protect you from any financial hardship resulting from your injury and to pay for the best medical care.

More specifically it will cover:

  • Private healthcare
  • Rehabilitation
  • Counselling
  • Specialist equipment
  • Loss of earnings
  • Additional expenses

We are acutely aware of just how essential your compensation will be to your financial security and recovery and will work tirelessly on your behalf to achieve the best possible results and get your life back on track.

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.
