Anyone who uses ladders regularly as part of their job rarely gives them a second thought until an accident happens.

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.
They were very helpful, better value, and dealt with my claim within 7 months. After a 4 and a half years issue with my previous solicitors.
Thank you very much. I never believed I would receive such a large sum of money. Your service is friendly and impeccable and I would certainly recommend you, in fact I already have.
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.
My case was handled in a courteous and professional manner from beginning to end. I was kept informed throughout and the settlement obtained was very satisfactory.
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 ladder injuries in the workplace are sustained as a result of insufficient training and inadequate protective clothing. Poorly maintained or damaged ladders are also major contributing factors. Your employer has a duty of care obligation to keep you safe at work. A failure to do so represents a serious breach of their responsibilities and could make them liable for damages.
Common injuries from ladder accidents include:
If you have fallen from a ladder at work due to the negligent actions of your employer, it is very likely that your employer is liable for what has happened and that you are entitled to make a ladder accident compensation claim.
Many of the injuries sustained in ladder accidents result in lengthy recovery periods and subsequent loss of earnings. A compensation award is designed to protect you financially and provide you with the best in medical care.
In most cases you must submit your claim within three years of the accident, or the date of knowledge that the accident was the cause of your pain, suffering or losses. You should still talk to a lawyer if it has been longer than three years because there may be circumstances specific to your case which mean the standard time limit can be extended.
Fall from a ladder accidents are often caused by:
For a personal injury compensation claim to be successful we must be able to prove that the accident was caused by the actions or negligence of someone other than yourself.
Any workplace accidents should be recorded in the accident book. This provides evidence that when and where the accident took place, and who was there at the time. With this information it may be possible to link other pieces of evidence, such as CCTV cameras, training schedules and inspection reports.
If your injuries were serious you will of course have been to the Doctor or to hospital so your medical records will provide evidence with regards to the nature and extent of your injuries.
Ideally, there would also be photographs and/or video of the scene of the accident, including the ladder and other equipment used, but the first priority should be to seek medical attention for the injured party.
If a colleague or bystander is able to take pictures and record witness contact information these details can be a very significant contributor to a successful claim.
Whatever evidence you have, our expert ladder accident claims lawyers will investigate your case thoroughly questioning every element of the defendant’s claim where liability is denied, and ensure you are awarded the right level of compensation for your circumstances.
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.
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:
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 checked 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.

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.

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.
