Many thousands of people are
injured in accidents each year whilst in the workplace.
There are thousands more suffering because of exposure
to hazardous substances, noise or materials who may be
able to pursue industrial disease claims.
Whether you work on a building site or in an office,
it is possible to suffer a personal injury.
Many injuries are avoidable provided an employer takes
appropriate measures to reduce the risk of injury. If
you find yourself in a situation where you have been
injured at work - you may be entitled to claim
compensation from your employers liability insurance.
We have an
employment law blog which is written
by the head of our employment legal
team. It is updated with the latest
changes in employment law and how they
will impact employees and employers.
