Steeplejack Accident Claim Experts
STEEPLEJACK ACCIDENT CLAIMS
Steeplejacks operate in such difficult, and potentially dangerous, environments that it is generally recognised as one of the world’s most dangerous jobs.
Aside from the obvious risks associated with working at often extreme heights, steeplejacks also must contend with adverse and unpredictable weather; structures which can be old and unstable; combustible materials; and, when working with older structures, exposure to asbestos.
Given all these factors, it is inevitable that accidents will occur, and, as steeplejacks are often working at significant heights, the consequences of an accident can be very serious. Detailed regulations specify the responsibilities of employers of those who work at height and ensure that you are able to seek compensation from your employer if they have failed to properly consider your health and safety.
If you have suffered an injury, and you believe that you might have a claim against your employer, our experienced personal injury solicitors will be able to advise you.
We offer all our personal injury legal services on a No Win No Fee basis, and we guarantee that a qualified solicitor will be allocated to your claim and will your point of contact with the firm.
Our focus on the quality of our personal service and legal advice means that we have developed a reputation for securing higher compensation payments than our competitors, so we are confident that we are the right choice if you do decide to pursue a claim.
If you should find yourself in the unfortunate position of requiring the services of an accident claims solicitor then there is simply no one who will look after you better.

Working as a steeplejack puts you at risk, not only of suffering the typical injuries caused by accidents in the workplace, but also from a range of specific dangers which relate to the unusual environment and working conditions which are involved:
Most claims relating to working as a steeplejack relate to falls, although the dangers of exposure to harmful materials is also significant. Common injuries sustained by steeplejacks include:

The dangers of working as a steeplejack are such that the duty of their employers to safeguard their health and safety has been recognised by the Health and Safety Executive.
The Work at Heights Regulations 2005 state that employers must ensure:
If you have suffered an injury, and you believe that your employer may have failed to properly fulfil their responsibilities under these Regulations, you may have a claim and we would be happy to advise you on the most appropriate way to proceed.
Workers across a range of sectors can suffer injuries due to working at height, but the Health and Safety Executive identifies four particular key industries which involve significant risks of industrial accident injuries:
Due to the age and materials used in the construction of many of the structures steeplejacks work with, exposure to asbestos is a significant issue in this industry. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 provides guidance for employers so that they can safeguard workers against the risks of being exposed. The Regulations specify that employers must take reasonable measures to check whether there is asbestos in the structure, and that they must presume that a structure contains asbestos unless they have strong evidence that it does not.
Your employer must also assess the risk of anyone being exposed to asbestos, plan how to manage those risks and then do whatever is required to put that plan in place. Failure to take any of these steps could mean that you are able to make a claim against your employer if you suffer illness as a result of exposure to asbestos.
The team at PSR solicitors is best placed to help you with your Industrial Accident Compensation Claim.

Richard Layfield LLB
Solicitor - Head of Personal Injury
I've been a Solicitor at PSR Solicitors since March 2013 and am head of Personal Injury throughout the firm as well as having full responsibility for managing 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 I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.
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
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.
