Accidents at work

We know that making a claim against your employer can seem scary; however it’s your right and duty to do so. We at Harris Fowler will deal with your claim diplomatically and efficiently, ensuring the best possible outcome for you.

All employers owe their employees a duty of care, they must provide them with a safe environment in which to work, and the same goes for all work systems and equipment. Employers must comply with all regulations and provide proper training, allowing employees to work without endangering themselves.

If you have been injured at work due to the failure of your employer to protect your safety and wellbeing you may well be entitled to compensation. It is important to make sure that accidents of the kind you have experienced do not happen again. Your employer must legally have insurance specifically for circumstances of this kind and it is therefore the insurer and not your employer from whom you will claim compensation.
