Unfortunately, when it comes to accidents at work, construction and building sites are the most dangerous places to work. Around 60,000 construction workers are injured every year whilst carrying out their duties and in 2021/2022 there were 30 fatal accidents on construction sites.
The Personal Injury team here at Taylor Emmet have extensive experience in these type of claims, recovering compensation for clients on a no win no fee basis.
No Win No Fee Personal Injury Claims
We offer a free consultation with one of our friendly solicitors to get the ball rolling. After you’ve told us what happened, we’ll provide you with expert legal advice at no cost to you.
The most common types of accident that occur on building and construction sites are:
- Falls from height, usually ladders or scaffolding.
- Being trapped by an object that has collapsed or overturned.
- Being struck by a moving/falling object
- Being struck by a moving vehicle or machinery
- Accidents caused by defective machinery and equipment.
Injuries sustained on construction sites are usually very serious, often involving life-changing injuries such as brain damage, electrocutions, broken bones and burn injuries. Employers have a duty of care to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to avoid accidents. For example, they must provide adequate training and PPE and ensure that equipment and machinery are properly maintained. If their failure to provide a safe place of work results in an accident then the injured person would be able to make a claim for compensation.
If you have been involved in an accident our experienced solicitors will be able to provide expert advice and guide you through the claims process at no cost to you.
