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:
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.
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:

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.
