Falling from height is one of the most common causes of personal injuries in the UK. It’s hardly surprising when you think of how many thousands of builders and workmen who work with ladders and on scaffolding in their daily jobs. If you have been involved in a fall from scaffolding or ladders at work, then you could be entitled to claim compensation.
Our Solicitors have dealt with many of these types of accidents and can help you recover this compensation on a no win no fee basis.

According to the latest Health and Safety Executive statistics there were 35,280 non-fatal accidents involving falls from height across all industries. That’s 97 accidents a day. Falls from height more often than not cause life-changing injuries, such as broken bones, head trauma and even fatalities.
Working at height comes with its own set of rules and regulations and your employer is under a legal duty of care to ensure that all safety procedures are followed.
The following are examples of when an employer might fail in their duty of care:
- Lack of training
- Lack of risk assessment
- Failure to provide the correct safety equipment
- Using ladders when scaffolding would be safer
- Lack of safety barriers or handrails on scaffolding
- Working in wet and slippery conditions
- Incomplete scaffold platforms
- Poorly designed scaffolding
