A demolition site is a place that can be full of many dangerous hazards that those working on it have to make safe and avoid. If you suffer an accident as a demolition worker that was due to the negligence of someone else, then you may be entitled to make a demolition worker accident claim with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.

There has been such a case reported recently where a demolition worker based in Croydon has been prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive, after one of his co workers was injured in a demolition accident.

The demolition worker was working alongside four other co workers on a demolition site at a Hospital.

The five of them were re-claiming bricks from the former two storey hospital, when one of them climbed onto the driving seat of a large thirteen tonne excavator and began moving it around the site.

When driving it he lost control of the vehicle and took it into a nearby wall, which unfortunately collapsed onto a colleague, who was left trapped beneath the rubble.

The trapped worker suffered serious leg injuries, a shattered shin bone which required a steel plate and a broken ankle.

Health and Safety discovered that the worker driving the excavator was not authorised by the demolition company to do so. The driver admitted a breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act and was sentenced by the court to perform 120 hours of community service, he was also ordered to pay court costs.

All building site demolition worker accident claims accepted here at the Accident Advice Bureau are done so on a no win no fee basis, where on winning maximum demolition compensation is awarded.
