At Gavin Edmondson Solicitors, we specialise in workers accident claims and injury at work claims, offering expert, no win, no fee support every step of the way.
Your Legal Rights After an Accident at Work
Employers have a legal duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. They must take reasonable steps to prevent workplace accidents. This includes maintaining equipment, providing training, and enforcing safety procedures.
If they fail in their duty, and you’re injured as a result — whether it’s an accident from work or a more serious incident — you could have a strong case for an accident at work claim.
Remember, it’s illegal for your employer to penalise or dismiss you for making a legitimate claim.
