INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

Industrial Accident Compensation Claim Solicitors

The experienced Industrial Accident Claims Solicitors at PSR Solicitors have an excellent track record of success recovering the maximum settlement available to our clients, becoming the law firm of choice for clients requiring personal injury services across North Wales and Cheshire.

Some jobs and workplaces are inherently more dangerous than others. Construction sites, industrial plants, warehouses and factories all pose serious risks to employees due to the heavy, dangerous equipment and other hazardous materials frequently in use.  But no matter what sector or setting you work in, your employer has a legal obligation to protect you.

Industrial injuries are commonly caused by slips, trips and falls, overexersion, repetitive motion, falling from height, exposure to harmful substances and transportation incidents. These types of injuries can have a long-lasting effect on your health and ability to work.

If you have suffered an injury at work through no fault of your own, you can enlist the help of the personal injury specialists at PSR Solicitors, who will robustly pursue the compensation you deserve.

We are accredited by the Law Society for our personal injury service and have also attained the Lexcel Practice Management Standard for the excellent legal services that we provide.

After everything that has happened to you, you may find the prospect of legal action overwhelming, but you do not have to face anything alone.  You are entitled to be compensated, and we will help you get what you deserve.

We are here to support you and can offer you a fully bespoke legal package, tailored to your individual circumstances and delivered by a fully qualified solicitor.

We offer our personal injury services on a No Win No Fee basis so for a legal service that you can rely on contact our professional and friendly team today.

Working in an industrial environment can pose a great many risks to your health. Not only is there an increased chance of being injured in an accident but also of suffering long-term health problems.

Law Society Accredited - Personal Injury

What rights protect me from industrial accidents?

The legislation protecting your health, safety and welfare at work is extensive so you can rest assured that the law is on your side.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 has been followed by additional regulations to further protect industrial workers from harm:

  • The Manual Handling Regulations 1992
  • The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
  • The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002
  • The Work at Height Regulations 2005

Your employer has a very clear responsibility to keep you safe at work and must take all reasonable steps to minimise the risk of accident and injury by providing:

  • A safe working environment.
  • Safe equipment and machinery.
  • 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.
  • A staff representative to be responsible for health and safety at work.
  • Information about potential risks including chemical substances, equipment or activity.
  • Competent co-workers who will act safely and responsibly.

If your employer fails to fulfil any of these responsibilities and you are injured at work as a result then you may be able to claim compensation.

You might be worried about losing your job due to pursuing a personal injury claim against your employer but it is illegal for your employer to make you redundant, harass you or create a hostile environment because of this action. The law is there to protect you and we can advise accordingly.

What jobs are at risk for industrial accidents?

Working in some sectors and in certain environments carries a greater risk than others.  The more dangerous industries tend to be highly regulated, placing greater responsibility on the employer to train and protect their workers.

When accidents do occur in the most dangerous work environments, the injuries can be very serious.

Some of the more dangerous working environments are:

  • Construction sites
  • Power stations
  • Offshore oil rigs and wind farms
  • Subsea

We can assure you that your Work Accident Claim will be personally handled by a fully qualified solicitor who is highly experienced in the personal injury field.

Our confidence in the quality of our service and advice is such that we offer our personal injury services on a No Win No Fee basis, so you can relax, knowing that your claim is in safe hands.

How long do I have to make an industrial accident claim?

There are strict legal time limits to making an industrial injury claim.  Typically, proceedings must commence within 3 years of discovering that you’ve been injured.  This is to allow for the fact that the cause and extent of an injury may only come to light a long time after the fact.  However, the rules can be complicated, so if you have any questions or concerns at all please contact us right away to discuss the time frames applicable to your situation. 

Employers liability insurance

All employers are legally required to be insured for at least £5 million to cover situations where an employee makes a work accident claim.

This cover includes claims where the employer has behaved negligently, so, regardless of the cause of your workplace injuries, the Employer Liability Act safeguards your right to compensation, and ensures your employer is able to cover the cost of a claim.

Your case will be handled by one of our expert solicitors who will take care of everything on a No Win No Fee basis and will give you the best chance of a successful outcome.

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 I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.

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

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.
