Workplace Fall Injury Claim Experts
FALLS FROM HEIGHT
If so, we can help you.
Falling from height is one of the most frightening, painful, and potentially life threatening accidents that can happen to someone. Despite all of the rules and regulations, fall from height accidents still happen too often and it was the main cause of fatal injuries at work in 2019/20.
If your employer fails to follow the strict health and safety procedures, and an accident occurs as a consequence, you could be entitled to compensation.
People get injured at work due to a fall from height in many ways:
If you or a loved one have been involved in such an accident, it could be that you are going to need a lot of support both in the near term and for the future.

Trust us to help you.
The service I received from start to finish was exceptional, everything was dealt with a timely and professional manner! I was kept informed throughout and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I will most definitely be recommending this company to all. Well done PSR
(I am) extremely happy, couldn't think of a better (firm) to handle my claim. I am very happy and I would like to thank you extensively. Service from all the staff was excellent.
Quality and professional service. My claim was dealt with very quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend.
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.
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.
When a personal injury impacts someone’s life significantly, the mechanism of compensation is there to get the person back, as close as possible, to the situation they were in before the accident.
Typically, the injured person will need to be compensated for:
The amount of compensation that you may receive depends on the unique circumstances of your case. The settlement figure varies according to factors such as:
Our experienced fall from height accident compensation solicitors will work closely with you to ensure the full impact of the accident is factored into your claim and we will relentlessly pursue your case until the optimal outcome is achieved.
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 legal obligation, called a duty of care, to provide you with a clean and safe working environment, proper equipment, and also to ensure that all their staff have been 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 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 a compensation 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 won’t have to pay you compensation themselves.
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, iif 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.
If it is unavoidable, the risks must be assessed and the work must be properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) provides guidance in this leaflet: The HSE Brief Guide to Working at Height.
Our experienced solicitors can help you with a wide range of accident at height claims:
For more information on the potential value of your Workplace Accident Claim, please take a look at our Accident Compensation Claims Calculator.
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.
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.

Richard Layfield
Solicitor - Head of Personal Injury
I've been a Solicitor at PSR Solicitors since March 2013 and now take full responsibility for leading the Rhyl Office.
I completed both my Law LLB and LPC degrees at Cardiff University, graduating in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff, then retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales, for the countryside and the people..
As an experienced personal injury and civil litigation Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex, serious injury claims.
Outside of work I'm a keen rugby fan, who enjoys running and travel.

Paul Rossiter
Managing Director
All Offices
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
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.
