Quite simply a fall from height at work should never happen.
If it does, unless it was caused by the reckless actions of an employee, then the employer must have failed in their duties to protect you. The Government and the Health & Safety Executive are very keen to prosecute for such accidents as they often result in serious injury or even death.
Your employer has a duty of care, which is a legal obligation, to provide you with a clean and safe working environment, proper equipment, and also to ensure workers are fully trained on all aspects of their job.
This includes carrying out a risk assessment, providing personal protection equipment, and providing full training in health and safety at work procedures.
If an employer fails in their duty to look after you whilst you are working for them then they may be liable for a fall injury compensation claim. No worker should ever have to go to work and suffer an injury or death.
We understand that you may feel uncomfortable about making a fall from height 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 and they must have insurance in place to cover them. They will not be liable to compensate you directly.

Using one of our specialist 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 all on a No Win No Fee basis.

Paul Rossiter LLB Law
Managing Director
I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
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 and 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 and Ibiza.
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 LLB
Solicitor - Head of Litigation
USUAL LOCATIONS: Shotton Office, Wrexham Office, Colwyn Bay Office, Wallasey Office
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.

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require employers to ensure the safety of their staff whilst working at height by:
It doesn’t matter which industry you are working in, if your job involves doing any work at height your employer is required by law to take every possible step to protect you.
Under the regulations, employers must make every reasonable effort to eliminate the need to work at height at all if possible.
In falls from height accidents, third-party liability refers to situations where someone other than the employer may be held responsible for the accident and resulting injuries. These third parties can include contractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, or any other party involved in the work activity.
For example, if a subcontractor's negligence or the use of faulty equipment caused the fall from height, the injured worker may have a valid claim against the subcontractor. Similar cases may arise when falls from height occur due to defective equipment. In such cases, the injured worker may be able to hold the equipment manufacturer or supplier accountable for producing or providing faulty equipment.
Determining third-party liability if falls from height at work requires a thorough investigation and gathering of evidence. Our experienced Falls From Height Solicitors at PSR Solicitors have the expertise to handle the complexities of such claims. We analyse the circumstances surrounding the accident, collect supporting evidence, and identify all potential responsible parties.
In pursuing third-party liability in falls from height compensation claims, we aim to establish negligence or liability on the part of the third party involved. This may involve demonstrating that the party failed to meet their duty of care, breached safety regulations, or provided defective equipment that contributed to the fall.
Many types of workers can be exposed to the risks of injuries from falls from height. However, some industries tend to pose a higher risk of similar accidents. These include:
This is not an exhaustive list, and many more industries may be at risk of injuries from a fall from height. If you have suffered an injury because of a fall from height accident, and believe it has been caused by the negligence of an employer, safety officer, or third party, contact the Fall From Height Solicitors at PSR today.

Your health and well-being are the primary concern, so the first thing you should do is seek medical attention. Falling from height can cause internal injuries and brain injury, which may not be evident immediately.
All workplace accidents must be reported to the employer, and accurately recorded in the accident book. The more information you can collect about the time, place, circumstances, and people present the better. So take photos and video of the scene of the accident if possible, and keep a record of the names and contact details of any witnesses.
It is also helpful to keep a copy of any treatment you receive and any expenses you incur as these can all be used to quantify your personal injury claim.
Finally, we recommend that you seek advice from an experienced Fall from Height Solicitor as soon as possible after the accident as early intervention can make a huge difference to the outcome of your claim. We can provide a no-obligation initial consultation of your claim, and advise you on your options.
There are legal time limits on when you may begin the claim process for an accident - typically, 3 years from the date of the injury.
