An accident in a warehouse claim for compensation can be made by an employee who has been injured at work through no fault of their own. Warehouses can be very dangerous places with many receiving deliveries throughout the day. Many warehouses have forklifts that operate in them and each year accidents happen to unsuspecting employees. All employers and staff need to be aware of potential accidents and take steps to help avoid them.

Stock that is stored in warehouses should be done so safely, avoiding accidents to employees. An accident in a warehouse claim which we have recently taken on involves a cage of stock which should have had the door closed properly, and where it hadn’t been, an employee moved another cage and the heavy stock from the open cage fell out and onto the worker. This made the worker twist suddenly and caused an injury to his knee.

The work warehouse accident was reported to a manager and recorded in the accident book. The employee went to hospital where scans were carried out and the diagnosis was ligament damage to the knee.

The employee has been unable to work for several weeks. When he contacted us, he was told we can accept the warehouse accident claim on a no win no fee basis. He was advised that on winning, 100% of the compensation will be paid out, in the unlikely event the claim is lost, no fees are payable.
