Our experienced and dedicated solicitors are on hand to support you, helping you to secure the maximum compensation amount for your office accident claims.

Our team has particular expertise in handling office accident claims involving:

• Slips, trips and falls, including on spilt liquid and mopped floors
• Trips over loose wiring
• Falls downstairs
• Back injuries as a result of inadequate lifting and carrying
• Training on poor supervision
• Trips or falls in blocked walkways
• Poor workstation layout leading to conditions, such as repetitive strain injury
• Asbestos-related diseases (arising in offices located in buildings constructed in the 20th century, when the material was in common usage)

Regardless of how you have been injured by somebody else’s negligence, you are entitled to make an office accident claim. Compensation can help you to return to the life you had before the office accident took place, providing valuable support by covering any time you had off work, or paying for necessary medical treatments and rehabilitation services.

How Much Compensation Can I Claim After an Office Accident?

The compensation you can receive for an office accident claim can vary depending on the nature of your accident and the injuries you sustained as a result. It will usually take into account the seriousness of your injuries and how long it may take you to recover, and factor in the circumstances that led to your accident in the first place.

The figures below provide a rough guide of how much you might be able to claim for an injury in a factory, based on the Judicial College Injury Tables. For a more accurate calculation of how much you could be able to claim, based on the specifics of your case, get in touch with the team today. We can give you a precise estimate that takes into account all of the details about your injury and circumstances.

A financial reward will compensate you for the pain and suffering caused by your injuries, and will also help to support you while you are recovering. Compensation can cover the cost of unexpected medical bills, rehabilitation and any required care from family and friends. In addition, compensation will cover any time you have taken off work due to your injury.

What Are My Employer’s Responsibilities?

Employers have a legal duty of care to ensure that working environments are free from hazards that may cause injury. Risk assessments must be carried out regularly to identify areas for improvement, and employers must take steps to reduce the possibility of an accident happening. Suitable actions include:

• Training all staff on health and safety protocols
• Providing safe, adequate and undamaged equipment
• Ensuring workstations are kept clean and tidy
• Keeping any wiring neatly stored away
• Using suitable safety signs in high-risk areas

If your employer has failed to fulfil their legal obligations and you are injured as a result, you are entitled to make an office accident claim for compensation.
