Slip accidents at work are a regular occurrence. In many cases the accident is unfortunate, with no one to blame, it’s just one of those things. It is when a work slip accident happens and causes an injury as a result of another employees, or the employers, negligence that a compensation claim for slipping at work is often made.
Employees are required to follow health and safety laws and should not leave any hazard, whilst working or on completion of the task, which may cause another person to suffer an accident and injury due to their negligence.
If you suffer a slip accident in the workplace and the injury is sufficient to require medical attention from the hospital or doctor, and it is as a result of another persons negligence, then you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Employers are required have insurance to ensure employees are able to claim injury compensation in such circumstances.
All relevant details surrounding the claim, including any witness details should be logged in the works accident book. It is vitally important to ensure the details logged are a true description of events. This information can then be used by the solicitor to determine liability.
You can be rest assured that we have personal injury claims solicitors who specialise in work accident claims, and they fight hard to achieve maximum compensation for our clients.

Employees often have to work in areas which need artificial lighting at night to ensure their safety. Sometimes this is outside and involves going up and down stairs. A case where an accident at work happened involved a security guard who was injured by falling down stairs at work as it was very dark.
To do his job he needed to go and patrol an area and ensure doors were locked. This meant walking up an external metal staircase. The stairs were wet and slippery and the lighting was insufficient as the nearest light was too far away from the stairs to light up the area.
On patrolling the area, he slipped and he suffered a severe shoulder injury. The accident was recorded in the work accident book and a claim for injury compensation was made.
Any employee who suffers an accident at work due to bad lighting may be able to make an accident at work claim for compensation with our help
All workplace accident claims should be made within three years from the date of the accident.

If you have been injured at work by a robot, it may be possible to make an accident at work caused by a robot injury claim, with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.
There has been recent case where a car components firm was fined after a manufacturing robot struck a worker at the company. This accident caused damage to the workers voice box and nearly paralysed one side of his body.
The work accident occurred as the employee was trying to fix a fully automated industrial robot in May 2008.
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) launched an investigation and discovered that the firm had a system of accessing the robot by putting it on manual before entry, rather than on the full automatic cycle.
Health and Safety inspectors also found that staff would watch the operating cycle from inside the guarded zone. They concluded that the company had failed to carry out an adequate risk assessment to the risks posed to maintenance staff by operating the industrial robots, when they are within the guarded area.
The company was fined £30,000 and ordered to pay costs of £20,000 by the Crown Court in Birmingham.
All robot injury claims here at the Accident Advice Bureau are worked on a no win no fee basis, where 100% of any injury compensation won is awarded.

Sleepwalking caused a British man to fall from a balcony in Majorca. He fell 35 feet and suffered severe injuries including head injuries and a broken leg. It is also feared he may lose the sight in one eye.
Aled Davies, 28, from Cardiff South Wales regularly sleep walks according to his girlfriend. In this instance, he is thought to have wandered round the room before going towards the balcony and falling from a height.
The Civil Guard said “There are no suspicious circumstances and he had not been drinking heavily before the fall”

After a Big Brother contestant suffered a personal injury whilst on the show, producers of the show could face a personal injury claim being made against them.
The contestant, Keeley Johnson was performing a task with fellow housemates that involved climbing out of a giant bathtub, when she fell and sustained a broken foot.
The injured contestant has now left the show. The show is in its final season after starting a decade ago. Executives of the show are now concerned that she may take legal action against them for her injuries.
A source has stated “Technically she suffered an accident at work and like any employee she can seek legal advice to see if there is a case for compensation.”
A spokeswoman for Channel 4 added all the tasks that contestants are asked to complete in the Big Brother house are subject to a risk assessment from a health and safety expert before they are given the go-ahead.
