Accidents at Work
Accident at Work
No Win - No Fee
Every employer has a legal duty to provide a safe working environment. Unfortunately, workplace accidents still happen and can lead to serious injury, financial loss, and long-term disruption to your life. If you have been injured at work because your employer failed in their duty of care, you may be entitled to pursue an Accident at Work Claim for compensation.
What is an Accident at Work Claim?
An accident at work claim arises where an employee or worker suffers injury or illness due to negligence, unsafe practices, or a breach of health and safety regulations. Employers are required by law to:
- Provide a safe place of work
- Supply and maintain safe equipment
- Offer proper training and supervision
- Carry out risk assessments
- Ensure protective equipment (PPE) is available and used correctly
If they fail to do so, and you are injured as a result, you may be able to claim compensation.

Your Rights and Employer Protection
