Claim for a scaffolding accident causing injury

Filed under: Accident at Work Compensation — admin @ 9:13 am

Falling from a scaffold tower accident can result in serious injuries, and this type of fall from a height accident is suffered by thousands of people every year in an scaffolding accident at work. There are around 50 fatalities a year due to scaffolding accidents.

There are around two million workers who regularly use scaffolding in the UK as part of their usual working day. The scaffolding makes it possible for workers to access areas which otherwise could be impossible to reach.

Due to the tightening up of scaffolding regulations in the past few years, the amount of falling from scaffolding accident claims have reduced.

Using scaffolding creates one of the most dangerous working conditions for people, as the risk of accidents are high. The scaffolding must be erected correctly and all workers must take extreme care when going about their work to ensure they are not putting themselves or others in danger.

The main industries which are at risk of accidents on scaffolding are bricklayers, roofers, electricians, painters and workers in the construction industry. All these trades are regular users of scaffolding and get used to working at a height.

If you suffer an accident on scaffolding and fall from a height, or have suffered an injury on scaffolding due to someones negligence, from a falling item or the scaffold collapsing, then a claim for scaffolding accident compensation may be possible.

We handle scaffold accident claims on a no win no fee basis and the maximum 100% injury compensation will be paid out to the successful claimant on winning.

Window fitter accident claim for injury compensation

Filed under: Accident at Work Compensation — admin @ 7:55 am

If your job involves window fitting you should be fully trained, follow the correct procedures and have the correct equipment for the job.

Unfortunately this is often not the case and can result in an accident where someone is injured.

Here at the Accident Advice Bureau we have successfully dealt we numerous window fitter accident claims for injury compensation. A recent example of this involved a window fitter who was sent with a co-worker to do a job at a house where a conservatory glass pain on the roof had slipped.

The worker had previous to this job, on several occasions, asked his employers to provide suction pads to hold the glass in place, but none have ever been provided.

The worker has to supply his own step ladder, which he does; the ladder is sturdy and has rubber feet.

Whilst doing the job on the conservatory, the worker had to use his ladder on a slippery tiled surface. The ladder was locked when he use it. As the worker was approx 4 feet up the ladder holding the glass, with his co-worker working above him, the ladder slipped. The worker fell heavily injuring his shoulder.

If the worker had been provided suction pads for the job, he would have had something to hold onto rather than just the glass above his head and he would have landed safely on the floor rather than landing in a heap.

The accident was witnessed by the co-worker. Since the accident the company have decided to supply suction pads, but unfortunately this is too late for our client.

The window fitter employee later saw his doctor who diagnosed torn muscles to his left shoulder. The worker has since had keyhole surgery and asked for our help in making a window fitter accident claim for injury compensation.

If you have suffered a similar type of accident and wish to claim accident at work compensation for falling from a ladder, or similar, contact us today. We are experts in this field and have very high success rates for non fault accident claims.

All claims are worked on a no win no fee basis and you will receive 100% of any injury compensation awarded.

Accident at Work Compensation for Slips, Trips & Falls

Filed under: Accident at Work Compensation — admin @ 9:07 am

Many accident at work compensation claims that are made are for slips, trips and falling from a height. Many of these accidents are avoidable if the correct health and safety procedures are carried out by the employer and all employees.

Most of the time employees go to work and return home safely. There are however thousands of accidents at work every day resulting in injuries which require medical attention. These injuries then often lead to days, weeks or months being taken off work by the employee.

Any accident at work should be reported to the employer as soon as possible and details logged in the accident book.

A work claim for compensation for a fall recently handled was for an employee who was told to use a scaffold tower which he had told the employer was not safe to use as it had not been erected correctly. As the job had to be finished, he was told to carry on as there were no other facilities to use. The employee fell causing severe injuries to his leg.

The accident was reported to the employer, recorded and witness statements taken.

Any accident at work compensation claim we accept will be handed to one of our personal injury solicitors who specialise in work accident claims.

To claim maximum injury compensation for your accident with the Accident Advice Bureau please call us on 0845 10 88 333 or claim by clicking: Accident at Work Compensation Claims.

Slip on stairs at work caused soft tissue injury

Filed under: Accident at Work Compensation — admin @ 2:41 pm

An employee slipped on external workplace stairs causing him to fall down several stairs resulting in a back injury.

The stairs running up the outside of the building were not regularly cleaned of rubbish or moss. As a result the moss had built up to level which made the stairs very slippery, especially when wet. The slip on the stairway was reported to the employer and the stairs were later cleared of both moss and rubbish, which made them safe.

The accident at work was reported in the accident book. Soon after the accident, the employee saw his doctor who diagnosed soft tissue damage to the lower back region.

A slip at work compensation claim was made by the employee with the Accident Advice Bureau on a no win no fee basis.

All employers should ensure the safety of their staff and visitors to the workplace by following Health and Safety rules. This not only potentially prevents accidents and injuries to the staff but can also reduce the number of days or weeks being taken off work by employees due to the injury.

As with any slip or trip hazard, if necessary, warning signs should be clearly displayed to warn others of the potential dangers.

For maximum compensation for your slip at work accident please contact us on 0845 10 88 333 or claim by clicking: slip at Work Compensation.

Falling Accidents from Work Vehicles

Filed under: Accident at Work Compensation — admin @ 12:16 pm

Falling accidents from work vehicles happens regularly and in many cases could be prevented if the surface in the vehicle has non slip flooring or the correct footwear is being worn. This is often the responsibility of the employer to ensure these steps are taken. Great care also needs to be taken to ensure the ground which is being stepped down to is safe and there are no potholes or other hazards which could cause an accident and injury.

The main cause of falling from a work vehicle is during loading and unloading. This will often be because the equipment is bulky and difficult for one person to handle. Speed is usually important, as employers want the tasks carried out as quickly as possible but should not be so fast that it causes a danger to the employee. In all circumstances, there should be the required number of people loading and unloading to make the task safe.

The main injuries caused by falling from a vehicle include a back injury and broken bones. Both of which can keep the employee off work for a number of weeks.

If you have suffered a falling accident from a work vehicle which was not your own fault, a claim for compensation could be possible. All work falling accidents should be reported to the employer an entered in the accident book if one is available. By claiming with us, your claim will achieve maximum compensation on winning and you will have one of our specialist work accident claims solicitors fighting hard for you.

To make your claim for compensation please call us on 0845 10 88 333 or claim by clicking: Fall From Work Vehicle Claim.
