Office Accident Claims.

An office seems like a safe place to work, which is often why health and safety standards are not given the necessary attention.

Injuries from slips and trips are the most common form of accident at work.

In an office, this is often caused by people tripping over phone or PC wires, falling over rubbish that has been left on the floor or slipping on spillages. 

Common types of accidents include:

  • cables from electrical equipment 
  • faulty electrical equipment
  • objects left lying on the floor
  • damaged carpets
  • wet floors

For further information on the potential value of your Workplace Accident Compensation Claim, please take a look at our Personal Injury Calculator.

Claiming against your employer

Employer's Liability Insurance is a legal requirement for most companies in the UK.  It’s a special type of insurance that pays compensation to employees who are injured in the workplace. In the event of an accident in the workplace it is usually the employer's insurance company who would pay compensation.

Your employer has a legal obligation to provide you with a clean and safe working environment, proper equipment and also to ensure that staff have been fully trained on all aspects of their job. 

This includes being fully trained on health and safety at work. If they fail in their duty to look after you whilst you are working for them then they can be held to account by the law. No one should ever have to go to work and suffer an injury or death.

We understand that you may feel uncomfortable about making an office accident claim against your employer, particularly as you may have concerns over job safety. However, your employer cannot dismiss you if you are injured due to their negligence in the workplace and they must have insurance in place to cover them. They won’t have to pay you compensation themselves.

Our experienced solicitors can help you with a wide range of Office Injury Claims such as:

  • Electrical accidents as a result of the improper installation of electrical equipment including phones, lighting, leads, computers, printers etc
  • Slips, trips and falls caused by tripping hazards in walkways and slippery surfaces for example.
  • Accidents as a result of poor health and safety training
  • Injuries to fingers or hands due to dangerous office equipment such as shredders, photocopiers, guillotines, staplers or scissors
  • Back injuries from lifting heavy items
  • Repetitive strain injuries
  • Posture problems caused by poor workspace design, inadequate office furniture or inadequate training.

What to do after an office accident.

If the employer admits responsibility for the office accident, the chances of a successful claim are very high.

There are a number of things that can be done to help build a strong case:

  • keep a record of the events
  • take photos and/or video of the cause of the accident
  • record the incident in the accident log book
  • get the contact details of any witnesses
  • go to the Doctor so that your injuries are recorded in your medical history
  • if necessary, report the incident to the HSE or check the employer has done so

Will I still be able to claim for an office injury after the law changes in April 2020?

From April 2020, personal injury claims under £2,000 (£5,000 for road traffic accidents) will be heard in the small claims court. You will still be able to make a claim, but it is very unlikely that you would be able to engage a solicitor to represent you. There are plans for an official online system which would provide some assistance to those representing themselves, but there has been no progress with this as of January 2020. 

If you are looking to claim office injury compensation and you want free legal advice from a fully qualified solicitor then please contact us now. Using one of our specialist solicitors ensures that you have a better chance of winning your claim and receiving all of the compensation and help that you are entitled to.

Office accident FAQs

In most cases, there is a limit of 3 years in which you can claim. The limitation date is not when the accident occurred, but when the person realised they had an injury arising from an accident at work.

However, there are some exceptions so it is always best to speak to a solicitor for advise on your specific situation.

There is no legal requirement for an employer to pay you if you cannot work, even if the absence is due to an innjury sustained at work. You However, you may be able to claim for a loss of earnings as part of your compensation package.

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.
