Accident at work compensation solicitors and construction site accidents
Health and Safety Regulations ensure that 21st Century Britain is a much safer place to work than it once was, although far too many accidents at work still occur.In Victorian times workers had very few rights in the work place and it was estimated that 27,000 workers were killed or injured while building the Forth Bridge in Scotland between 1883 and 1890. Compensation for work injuries did not exist and families were unlikely to receive any form of compensation from an employer if their loved ones were hurt or killed at work, resulting in a lifetime of hardship and financial struggle.
The rights of workers have improved considerably since those early days but, unfortunately, far too many accidents still occur in the work place due to the negligence of employers.Hundreds of compensation claims are brought every year against employers who fail to adequatly protect workers on construction sites and with substantial sums of compensation being awarded.Health and safety procedures have reduced the number of deaths and accidents at work during the past few years, and modern construction sites are much safer places to work than they once were. If, however, you have suffered an accident at work as a direct result of your employer´s negligence, you could claim compensation for your pain and suffering, loss of income, medical expenses, transport expenses and any other expenses which relate to the work accident.
Some employers still continue to flout the rules and, if health and safety procedures at work are not adhered to, employees are in danger of suffering serious injuries after a work accident.
