Accidents at work

Our solicitors are selected carefully due to their experience, skill and customer service standards. Each solicitor is an expert in their area of personal injury case law.

Slips and Trips account for many of the accidents which occur in workplaces throughout the UK each year even though they are one of the simplest types of accidents at work to avoid.

Slips and Trips at work can normally be prevented by common sense actions. When employers carry out their risk assessments of their premises they should have already identified and eliminated any tripping hazards such as trailing wires or damaged carpets. They should have also ensured that the building was in a safe state of repair eliminating any risk of leaks from the roof or the plumbing system, oil pipes or tanks. They can provide anti slip mats, anti slip painted surfaces or coatings, handrails and shoes with anti slip soles where the surface remains slippery. Anti slip treads on stairs or steps should be properly maintained. Potholes should be identified and repaired. Adverse weather conditions should be monitored in advance by occupiers and employers and they should have systems in place to organise the application of salt, sand or grit to treat snow ridden, icy or other frozen surfaces or areas under their control.

It is not just an employer's duty to look after health and safety in the workplace though; both employers and employees have a legal responsibility to look after health and safety at work.

As an employee you should look after your own health and safety as well as paying attention to what effects your actions could have on others. For example if you spill something on the floor you should arrange for it to be cleaned up immediately and have warnings signs placed nearby until the floor is dry. This should help to avoid anyone suffering from a slip or trip at work which could cause an injury.

If you suffer from a slip or trip at work which was not your fault, you may be able to make a slip or trip at work compensation claim.

You may think that slips or trips at work will only result in minor injuries anyway; therefore they are not worth worrying about but in fact slips or trips at work can result in serious injuries such as broken bones, deep lacerations and concussion.

Injuries can be even more serious if the person lands on a hard floor surface or trips into another object such as the corner of a desk or a hard metal machine. Serious injuries can also be caused if the slip or trip at work is on a staircase.

In very rare cases, brain injuries and fatalities have been caused by slips and trips at work and our specialist personal injury solicitors have experience of dealing with these types of slip or trip at work compensation claims
