Types of Accidents at Work claims

Employers must keep walkways clear and safe. Common hazards include wet floors without warning signs, uneven surfaces, or cluttered corridors.

Lifting heavy items or using poor/untrained technique can lead to back injuries or muscle strains. Employers must provide manual handling training to reduce these risks.

Faulty or poorly maintained equipment can be dangerous. If a machine malfunctions due to lack of maintenance and causes injury, this may be grounds for a claim.

Repetitive movements or awkward postures can result in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis.

Construction workers face risks from falls, being struck by objects, or injuries from heavy machinery. If this happens, you may have grounds for a claim.

You may be at risk if you’re asked to carry out tasks without proper training. For example, someone using machinery without instruction could suffer serious injury.

Employers are required to provide suitable safety gear, such as helmets, gloves, or ear defenders. If you weren’t given the right PPE and were injured, you could claim.
