About Ladder Accidents

Ladders are an essential part of many manual jobs and are commonplace at work and around the home. When accidents involving ladders happen however they can be serious, particularly as they often involve falling from a height.

Many injuries are sustained as a result of poorly maintained or damaged ladders and include:

  • Cuts and bruises
  • Sprains
  • Dislocations
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Back and spinal injuries
  • Head and brain injuries

Insufficient training in the workplace and inadequate protective clothing are also factors in the number of ladder-related accidents and so it is very likely that you employer is liable for what has happened and that you are entitled to make a compensation claim.

Many of the injuries sustained often result in lengthy recovery periods and subsequent loss of earnings but your compensation award is designed to protect you financially and provide you with the best in medical care.

About Work Injury Compensation Claims

If you have suffered an injury at work through no fault of your own then you are entitled to pursue a claim for compensation. The amount you receive will depend on the extent of your injuries, the impact on your earning potential and whether your injuries are short-term or permanent.

Your final settlement is there to not only recognise the pain and suffering that has been caused but also to help you in practical ways by covering:

Your compensation will be vital for your recovery, financial security and independence so make sure you instruct the experts to give you the best chance of receiving every penny to which you are entitled.

What does the law say?

When it comes to your health and safety at work your employer is bound by the 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act, which is clear about the legal requirements they must fulfil including provision of:

  • A safe working environment including safe equipment and machinery.
  • Protective clothing such as hard hats and boots.
  • Thorough and regular risk assessments.
  • Adequate training.

Ladders are a key part of your work equipment and it is your employer’s responsibility to ensure that they are safe to use and fit for purpose. As with any other piece of equipment they should be regularly checker for damage and you should be correctly trained to avoid over-reaching, incorrect-placement and problems with the locking system.

The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations 2006 was also put in place to protect those specifically working at a height and is clear that where such work is unavoidable all necessary safety measures are put in place and adhered to. If your employer does not comply with any of the regulations and you are injured as a result then you will be able to make a claim.

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.
