Industrial Injury Claims & Industrial Accident Compensation

An Industrial Accident Claim is the legal process for securing compensation for those who have suffered an injury while carrying out their duties at work. The term 'Industrial Accident' covers all workplace injuries in any setting and any profession.

The experienced Industrial Accident Claims Solicitors at Sheldon Davidson Solicitors have dealt with many cases of this nature, and have built an excellent track record of success.

Whatever the circumstances are, our team of Industrial Accident Solicitors will determine liability, help you build a robust claim, and seek an appropriate settlement.

Who is responsible for Industrial Injuries?

Employers have a duty of care which is set out in law to protect the health, safety and welfare of their workforce and anyone else who may be affected by their business. It is their responsibility to make sure all employees who may be at risk of accidents and injuries are properly trained and have access to all necessary protective equipment.

Employers are required to take all reasonable steps to prevent harm by reducing risks however is reasonably practicable to do so. If a failure to do this results in a workplace accident, the injured party is entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Making a claim following an Industrial Accident Injury is vital, not only to get compensation for your treatment and possible time you may need off work, but also to get your employer to review their health and safety regulations after an accident has taken place.

Your employer should also make sure all workers are insured in the event of an industrial accident. If this is not the case and you feel it has resulted in you being undercompensated, we can help to put this right.

Your employer will be legally obligated to avoid any repercussions following an Industrial Accident Compensation Claim. We will communicate with them, and make sure your claim can proceed smoothly alongside your employment.

What are Industrial Accidents?

Industrial accidents cover a range of circumstances in which an employee may have been injured in the workplace, and can take place for many reasons.

It may be that your employer failed to provide you with safe working conditions, personal protective equipment or did not give you the correct training to use the machinery that consequently played a part in your accident. Machinery could have become defective, either because a fault developed and went undetected or because the required safety testing was not carried out.

Some common Industrial Accidents are:

  • Work Vehicle Accidents, such as Forklift Trucks or Cherry Picker
  • Falls from Height
  • Scaffolding or Ladder Accidents
  • Falling Objects

This limited list of accidents can give you an idea of how varied Industrial Accident Injury Claims can be. Contact the expert solicitors at SDS today to discuss your claim confidentially.

What are some common Industrial Injuries?

Industrial Accident Injuries can manifest in countless ways, from minor injuries to long-term debilitating conditions, to fatal injuries. Some examples include:

  • Fractures & Broken Bones
  • Eye & Sight Injuries
  • Back & Spinal Injuries
  • Burn Injuries
  • Electrical Injuries
  • Fatal Accidents

Industrial Accident Claims are by no means limited to visible injuries. If you have developed an industrial disease such as deafness, asthma or a skin condition as a result of your working environment, Sheldon Davidson Solicitors can help you make a claim.

Get Help With Your Industrial Accident Claim

If any of the above circumstances apply to you, contact us today and let us assess your industrial injury claim. It is vital that you begin your compensation claim as soon as possible after your industrial accident occurs, as there is a time limit of three years in place for injured parties to start their claim.

When your case relates to an industrial disease, the same time limit begins from the moment a diagnosis is made. Either way, it is very important to start proceedings at the earliest opportunity.
