Accidents At Work Solicitors

Accident at work compensation claim example:

Accident at work claim was made when a worker sustained a crushing injury to his hand during the course of his employment.  A compensation claim by the accident solicitors who acted on behalf of an employee obtained £13,500:  Injuries sustained a crushing injury to his fingers from operating a machine.

The accident at work claim was made when a worker had suffered a crushing injury to his hand/fingers with the main injury to the left ring finger and minor crushing with residual scarring to the left middle, right middle and right index fingers.

The accident at work was due a press machine which had come down on his fingers due to a machine fault. The injured worker went to accident and emergency hospital. His x-ray results had shown that he had fractures to the fingers and the consultant explained to the injured worker that he could not return to work until they were healed.

The injured worker was unable to attend his main pre-accident level of duties until 8 months from the accident.  His musical hobby of playing a guitar was adversely affected.

The injured worker had alleged that health and safety should have been aware the operating machinery was faulty. Also the gloves that were provided were inappropriate for the type of work involved.  It was also addressed that the workstation was inappropriate in terms of sufficient space and room.

Accident at work solicitors obtained compensation for £13,500 for the work related accident. The worker also received compensation for expenses and loss of earnings.

The accident at work solicitors acted on a NO WIN NO FEE agreement and recovered all legal costs off the insurance company. The worker received 100% compensation and 0% legal costs.
