Office Based Accident Claims

We are specialists in handling compensation claims in virtually every type of workplace. Office based accidents and related medical conditions are very common in our service dominated economy.

If you suffer an accident or medical condition at work in an office or an administrative workplace, it is very likely that you will be able to make an injury claim for compensation.

Office based accident claims we have run successfully include:

• Accidents caused by inappropriate or inadequate workplace layouts
• Injuries caused by defective or dangerous equipment or incompetent workmates
• Trips or slips over cables or untidy workplaces or on slippery, dangerous surfaces
• Injuries involving heavy, repeated or awkward lifting, often called “manual handling”
• Injury caused by exposure to harmful and dangerous substances
• Injuries caused by ill fitting work equipment or dangerous screens and headsets
• Falls from height and case study

There are many more types of office based accidents where we have won claims.

Just think; it is estimated that employees lose around £558,000,000 a year in loss of earnings and expenses suffered due to accidents at work.

Those same victims suffer again in the form of pain, inconvenience and loss of amenity.

Remember; employers are under a duty to try to ensure that you are able to carry out your work in the safest way possible, bearing in mind your type of job, the tools and materials you work with and the kind of work involved.

Employers must ensure that your workplace and premises are safe and they have to carry insurance.

Some people fear that their employer might sack them if they claim, but the law affords you some protection, so ask us about that.

We can help you with your office based accident compensation claim and we can assist you with advice on employment issues and with welfare benefits advice.
