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 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.
What Are My Employer’s Responsibilities?
Your employer has a duty of care to maintain a safe and clean working environment for everyone. With many injuries happening every year in the industrial sector, it is critical — especially if you work in construction — that you are aware of your employer’s responsibilities. These include:
- Providing adequate and thorough training for all machinery/equipment
- Providing adequate protective clothing for that environment’s specific hazards
- Making sure that all machinery/equipment is up-to-date and safe.
If you work in the likes of a construction site, it is vital that you have:
- Adequate head protection (helmet or hard hat)
- Adequate eye protection (protective glasses or goggles)
- Adequate limb protection (including boots and gloves)
- High visibility clothing/jacket
- Adequate face and respiratory protection (i.e. dust mask)
Can I Make an Accident at Work Claim in Manchester?
If your injury occurred less than three years ago, and it was caused by your employer’s negligence, it is more than likely that you will be eligible to make a claim.

How Much Accident at Work Compensation Will You Receive?
All work injury claims are different. When it comes to assessing your case, our work accident solicitors ** will look at time off work, whether you lost out on past or future wages, pain and suffering, medical expenses, and rehabilitation costs. We can even sometimes get interim compensation payments brought forward if you are struggling financially.
