How we can help

We have many years of experience in providing representation for people who have been injured while working in a factory due to the negligence of their employer. We have represented individuals who have sustained injuries in the following scenarios:

  • Defective machinery
  • Slips, trips and falls
  • Poor access routes
  • Heavy lifting
  • Falling objects
  • Inadequate ventilation
  • Working at height
  • Lack of personal protective equipment

The list above is not exhaustive, and if you were injured in some other way while working in a factory due to your employer’s negligence, we can help you to claim compensation. Any compensation secured will help to reimburse you for any earnings you have lost, journeys to and from appointments, medical treatment and the emotional impact of your injury.

Holding your employer to account

Your employer has a legal responsibility to ensure that you can work safely. It is their legal duty of care to provide training, carry out risk assessments and provide suitable personal protective equipment. If they fail in this duty of care and you sustain an injury, you may be entitled to compensation.

Why choose us?

You can rest assured that your case will be handled with the utmost diligence and professionalism. We have been providing legal services for members of the public for more than 100 years, and we will work tirelessly to make the claims process as stress-free as possible for you.

HOW WILL COMPENSATION HELP?

As well as covering ‘general damages’, financial relief can be awarded to help with expenses that may have cropped up as a result of your injury. This includes covering the cost of lost wages or any potential loss of earnings, medical treatment, rehabilitation, and adaptations to the home and transportation, giving you the space to focus on recovering from your injury as best as you can.

What’s more, you will not have to do any of the hard work, as our expert personal injury lawyers will take you through the entire claims process, keeping you up to date on all proceedings and providing advice and guidance as and when you require it.
