Work Claims Solicitor
Health and safety at work is vitally important, and if you have suffered an accident in the work place, caused by poor health and safety standards, you may be able to claim compensation for your injuries.
Once you have spoken to an accident at work solicitor, you may be able to proceed with a claim for compensation against your employer. Frequently asked questions relating to compensation claims for accidents and injury in the workplace include:
1. How long after I suffer an accident at work can I make a claim for compensation?
Legally, you have three years in which to make a claim for compensation after an accident at work that was not your fault, but we would advise you to contact Farnworth Rose Solicitors as soon as possible if you feel that you may have a claim for Accident at work Compensation
2. How much will it cost to make a claim compensation following an accident at work?
If you claim with Farnworth Rose Accident and Injury Solicitors, it won´t cost you a penny. We work on a "no win, no fee" basis and you receive 100% of the compensation.
3. If my accident at work was the fault of another employee, who would I claim against?
This depends upon the specific circumstances of your case, however, generally speaking if the accident was the fault of another employee, you may still be able to claim against your employer as he has a responsibility to make sure you are safe in the work place.
4. Will I have to go to court to claim compensation for an accident at work?
In the vast majority of cases, no. Many accident at work claims reach out-of-court settlements, and we will be happy to advise you accordingly.
5. How long will it take to receive my compensation payment for an accident at work?
Each claim is unique, and the speed with which a settlement can be reached depends on many factors including the severity of the injuries, and the speed in which the third party responds to correspondence. Once we have assessed your claim, we will be happy to give you a clearer idea of the likely time scale for reaching a settlement and the likely award of compensation due to you.
If you are worried about victimisation from your employer after bringing a case against him for compensation, it is worth knowing that any claim will usually be handled by his insurance company, and victimisation is extremely rare. Employment law will also protect you from harassment, bullying and unfair dismissal.
It is your employer´s responsibility to provide a safe and secure working environment, and to provide adequate personal safety equipment, protective clothing and adhere to strict health and safety rules in the work place.
Personal injury and accidents at work
If you have suffered a personal injury which was caused by faulty machinery or equipment at work, you can make a claim for the injuries you have suffered. Accident at work solicitors will assess your claim, and give you professional legal advice about the likelihood of a successful compensation claim against your employer.
It is your employer´s responsibility to ensure equipment is safe for you to use in the work place, and also to ensure you have proper training before using it. Even if the equipment was supplied by another company, the responsibility remains with your employer to ensure it is safe for you to use.
If you suffer an accident at work, make sure you fill in the accident book as soon as you can, and make sure your employer is fully aware of the details of the accident. If the accident was not your fault, you could be able to claim compensation for injury in the work place.
Depending on the type of injury you have sustained, you could claim for an accident at work that resulted from poor health and safety standards in the work place and can receive compensation for your loss of earnings and pain and suffering.
Accident at work claims and negligence
Accident at work claims can also result from negligence or misuse of equipment by fellow workers, for which your employer will still normally be liable. If you have suffered injuries at work from an assault by a fellow employee, your employer will not be responsible, although this could result in a separate claim for compensation via the Criminal Injuries Compesation Authority.
We can help you claim compensation for an accident in the work place, and we have extensive knowledge of accident at work claims and the levels of compensation that you would be entitled to. If you suffer serious injury after an accident at work that was not your fault, you could be entitled to substantial compensation.

Common accident at work claims include: back injuries, slips, trips and falls at work, scaffolding accidents and forklift accidents. You may have a claim for an injury at work after tripping over a wire, falling from an unsafe ladder or slipping on a wet floor. However minor your injuries are following an accident at work, you may be able to claim compensation if the accident was not your fault.
Injury in the work place
No matter what your job is, your employer has a responsibility to protect you against injury in the work place, and he is required by law to take steps and measures to prevent any accidents or injuries at work.
If you have to take time off work because of illness or injury that was caused by an accident in the work place, you could suffer pain, injury and financial hardship. By contacting Farnworth Rose Accident at Work Solicitors, we will take the hassle and stress away from you, and we will guide you through the accident at work compensation process from start to finish.
Over 1.5 million injuries occur every year in the work place, and although accidents at work figures in the UK are lower than those in other European countries, accidents at work are still far too frequent. Serious accidents can occur in any place of work, and you don´t have to be working on a construction site to be involved in an accident. The retail trade sees thousands of work accident claims every year, and thousands more are reported throughout the service sector.
If you have suffered any type of accident at work then you should make a claim for compensation for accident at work. The person responsible for the accident should compensate you for any costs or losses incurred as a result of the accident, as well as for the suffering endured.
Types of work accidents
Accidents happen all the time, and although minor accidents in the work place are common, if you have suffered an injury in the work place due to the negligence of your employer or a fellow employee, then you should be entitled to claim compensation. Accident at work compensation can be claimed after slipping on a spillage that has not been cleared up, tripping over an obstacle that should have been moved, or being hit by a heavy object falling from above, which should have been secured.
Work injury claims and accidents at work
A work accident claim for compensation must be made within three years from the date of the accident which caused the injury or the date of diagnosis of a work related illness. If you have suffered a work injury which you feel is significant and is a result of negligence on the part of the employer or a fellow worker, you should seek legal advice from Farnworth Rose Accident at Work Solicitors as soon as possible.
You may have three years in which to legally make your claim, but the advantages of making an early claim include: you will have a clear memory of the events leading up to your accident and resulting injury, witnesses are much more likely to be forthcoming with information, the accident book cannot be changed, and the Health and Safety Executive can visit your place of work quickly to carry out any risk assessments which may prove to be beneficial to your compensation claim for an accident at work.
The work accident site can also be photographed shortly after the accident to establish exactly how it occurred. This could help your case for work accident compensation. You may still have a strong claim for compensation, even after 2-3 years, but making a claim as early as possible will assist in making as strong a case as possible.
The sooner the work accident claim is made, the sooner Farnworth Rose Solicitors can start working on it, and help you to achieve a successful outcome and substantial compensation.
Factory accident claims at work
Injuries in the work place and factory accidents can be serious, and whether you have sufferred a minor or major injury, you should seek the advice of Farnworth Rose Accidents at Work Solicitors who will take you through the process of compensation claims. Almost 40% of all serious injuries at work are caused by slipping or tripping, and this can be especially dangerous in a factory environment where heavy machinery is used. Employers must take reasonable steps to prevent a factory accident by ensuring spillages are cleaned up as quickly as possible; all employees wear protective clothing and proper footwear where appropriate; suitable non-slip flooring is laid in areas where the floor is likely to become damp or wet; effective training of all employees is carried out regularly and the work place is appropriately designed to reduce the risk of accident and injury.
An employer must carry out a risk assessment to identify any part of an employee´s job which may create a health and safety risk or a hazard in the work place. If they fail to carry out regular inspections and checks in the work place, and an employee suffers an injury as a result of such negligence, the employer may well be held liable.
