Making an Accident at Work Claim in Manchester

Slips, trips and falls at work account for more than one third of all employee injuries in the UK. Often the reason why so many people fall at work is down to poor general workplace safety, for example not having adequate signage for a wet floor, or having office clutter left on the ground. Many people choose to ignore their minor office injuries, but if you believe that your employer’s negligence was responsible for your injury, then you could have a claim.

Taking legal action against your employer may seem daunting but our lawyers are experienced in dealing with your claim in a sensitive and professional manner. It is also important to remember that it is illegal in the UK for an employer to dismiss an employee on the grounds of their personal injury claim.

Accidents at work range dramatically seeing as people work in so many different industries and sectors. There are numerous factors that come into play in every accident claim so it is important that you have a trustworthy lawyer representing you to ensure that you win the maximum amount of compensation for your injury type.
