Work Accidents

Employees have rightly come to expect their employers to provide a working environment that is as safe as possible and to be provided with the proper equipment for the job they are doing. Most accidents are entirely avoidable and so it is only right, in such circumstances, that an employee be compensated for the injuries they have suffered. In most instances, however, compensation for injuries and loss of income will not be the only reason for pursuing a claim and an injured employee will want changes made, so as to enable them to work without having to worry about being injured.

Health And Safety

Whilst health and safety has become the butt of many a joke in recent times, it is unfortunate that its importance in the workplace is underlined only when an accident occurs. At Lawdit we appreciate the importance of an employer taking its obligations seriously and will, in instances where this duty of care has been breached, take all steps possible to help employees recover compensation for their injuries, in addition to ensuring that steps are taken to mitigate the risk of such incidents reoccurring.

There is a large body of law dedicated to the issue of workplace safety designed to ensure the safety of employees at work. Our team of personal injury lawyers are able to offer in-depth knowledge of the regulations that are relevant to your claim, in addition to being able to draw on significant experience in order to apply them to your claim.

Advice To Employers

Lawdit is pleased to offer a unique service aimed at advising employers of their duties and the best way of implementing these, so as to minimise the risk of injuries occurring at work which can sour workplace relations and lead to a valuable reputation being severely damaged. Taking legal advice will often mitigate liability in personal injury claims and so the importance of employers taking a proactive approach can't be overstated.

We are able to advise employers in relation to their legal duties, the obligations imposed by various regulations and the extent to which they are applicable, taking into consideration the type of work undertaken and the environment in which it is undertaken. We are also able to draw on our expertise gained through working with a variety of professionals from different industrial backgrounds and to offer advice on the type of safety equipment that should be provided to employees and the relevant considerations for employers, such as the costs involved, the likelihood of injury and risk management strategies that can be put in place.
