Construction site Accident Claims Solicitors

If you have had an accident on a construction site, our team of no win, no fee personal injury solicitors have wide ranging experience of building site accident compensation claims to bring to bear on your behalf.

Approximately 2 million people work in Britain 's construction industry, making it the country's biggest industry. It is also one of the most dangerous. Thousands of people have, unfortunately, died from injuries that have been sustained during construction site accidents. Many more have been injured or made ill.

Causes of construction site accidents include:

Falling through fragile roofs and roof lights
Falling from ladders, scaffolds and other workplaces
Being struck by excavators, lift trucks or dumpers
Overturning vehicles
Being crushed by collapsing structures

Regulations are in place that offer protection to people working on building or construction sites. Employers and contractors have a duty of care to those who work at or visit the site. If you have been injured in an accident on a construction site you may be entitled to personal injury compensation.

For such claims you need the advice of a specialist personal injury solicitor. Liability for the construction site accident may not always be clear cut and you might not necessarily be employed by the person or company that is potentially at fault. Construction site accident claims are in a very specialist area of Personal Injury Law. They are often seen as amongst the most difficult personal injury cases to run successfully.

Building site claim case study

Our client Mr B was working as a labourer on a building site when he was asked to clean up a roof. He fell through an unguarded skylight and fell 30 feet towards a concrete floor. He was left dangling just a few feet from the ground as his legs got caught up in ceiling cables. He sustained leg, back and arm injuries. Fortunately for Mr B he has since made a complete recovery. We were able to make a successful claim against his employer for the wages he lost whilst recovering from his injuries and for reduced wages for the time he was unable to carry out anything but light duties, as well as compensation for injuries suffered. He received a settlement of £7500.
