Accident at Work Compensation Claims

No matter what or where your place of work is and what your job is, your employer has a legal responsibility to ensure that your workplace is safe, and they must protect you from every risk that you might face whilst at work.

This is not an ordinary obligation. The law recognises that workers give up their time, skills and energy for the benefit of their employer’s business or service and in most cases, to help their employers to make a profit. Consequently, the law requires every employee’s job and working environment to be as safe as it can possibly be. If there is anything that your employer has not done to prevent an accident from happening, then the chances are that they have broken the law and are liable to pay you accident at work compensation for your injuries.

This is what we are about

At The Claims Partnership in Preston, we are passionate about workers’ rights and about health and safety in the workplace. We use our decades of experience in this area of law to represent our client’s with tenacity, with care and with skill.

Accidents at Work can result in anything from a minor injury, such as a cut or laceration, through to the most severely disabling injuries, or even loss of life. At The Claims Partnership, we have huge experience of dealing with work accidents and injuries of all types. We can arrange for work accident compensation to cover earnings that have already been lost, as well as earnings that you might lose in future, together with the costs of private medical care, rehabilitation and future care and assistance.

At The Claims Partnership, we are dedicated to working in your best interests and to providing a great value and high quality claims service. We treat our clients with integrity and fight their corner. We feel confident enough in our skills and experience to say that if it is legally possible to win your claim – then we will win it for you.

Our Partnership Promise on Costs

At The Claims Partnership, we have three simple rules which apply to our Personal Injury Claims services. They also apply to all the other services we offer.

  1. We never charge our clients anything until the day they receive their compensation payment.
  2. We guarantee that all our clients will receive a minimum percentage of the compensation they are awarded.
  3. We will agree that minimum percentage with our clients before we start work on their claim.

Case Study

An HGV Driver Slips on an Icy Works Car Park

Gareth worked as an HGV Driver for a large national delivery firm. His job required him to be on the road early in the morning when motorway congestion is at its lowest. He needed to clock in each morning at 3:30 am, before getting on the road for 4 am. His employer operated a large Heavy Goods yard where Gareth would collect his vehicle for the day. Drivers were required to park their own vehicles on a staff car park situated outside of the main Heavy Goods Yard. Gareth arrived at 3:20 AM and parked his car. The weather conditions had been freezing during the night. There had also been a light rainfall which meant that the staff car park was icy in places. As he began to walk across a car park to the entrance gate of the Heavy Goods Yard, he slipped backwards on the frozen ground, banging the back of his head on the car park floor.
