Accident Claims
After A Work Accident On A Construction Site
Of all the locations that are most prone to being the site of a work accident, construction sites are one of the most hazardous.
Construction workers are exposed to risks on a daily basis because of the machinery operated by and around them, as well as the general manual nature of the work they do.
All construction companies have a legal duty to make sure their employees are provided with the right clothing and equipment, and given appropriate training for their role.
However, whilst many employers may ensure this initially, there is sometimes a breach in their duty of care when they fail to ensure that all equipment is regularly checked and maintained.
One of the most common reasons for personal injury on a construction site is malfunctioning machinery. This can wound instantly, or workers can hurt themselves trying to repair it.
For construction workers, an injury occurring from a work accident can be devastating to your career, as a serious resulting health problem could lead to time off work and, therefore, loss of earnings. You may be entitled to accident compensation.
At Claims Solicitors, our legal experts can advise you on any accident compensation you may be entitled to as a result of an accident on a construction site. If your injury occurred through the fault of a colleague or your employer, we will represent your case to help you claim financial recompense and accident compensation in light of the pain you have suffered. We may also be able to secure ongoing monetary assistance should you require long-term medical treatment or be unable to work due to your injuries.
