Types of construction site accidents

 

The most common causes of accident in the construction industry are:

 

  • Slip and trip injuries
  • Falling from height
  • Injuries from machinery
  • Scaffolding accidents
  • Electric shocks

 

Whatever the accident, if you’ve been injured because your employer, or person responsible for the site, didn’t do everything they could to make it safe, then you may have a compensation claim.

  • EMPLOYEE SAFETY

    Your claim will be against the insurer, not the business. As such you are protected and cannot be dismissed for making a claim.

  • DUTY OF CARE

    By making a claim you are helping to build a safer workplace for your colleagues in the future. Protecting your employers from future claims.

  • INTERIM PAYMENTS

    Our work accident specialists will talk to you about the help available to ease the financial burdens you may have whilst you are recovering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why make a construction site accident claim?

If you’ve been injured and it’s affecting your life, your ability to work or your future, then making a claim could provide the financial assistance and support you need to see you through.

Equally, if your employer has failed to provide a safe working environment, then they have been negligent in their duty of care to you and other workers.

Your employer should have insurance that will cover them for this kind of event. Find out more about making a claim here.

How can Work Accident Claims help?

We have the legal knowledge and experience to make sure your claim is submitted with the minimum of fuss for you.  This means you can concentrate on recovering while we do the work and liaise with all parties on your behalf.

How much compensation will I receive for a construction site claim?

Every accident and injury is different. That means that it’s difficult to say what you might be entitled to without an initial consultation. What you might be awarded for a successful claim depends on your injury, the situation and the severity. To find out more, just get in touch.

About No Win No Fee

Only pay a fee if you receive compensation

Where we offer No Win No Fee services typically customers pay 25% of the amount recovered by our solicitors, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this but it will never be more. Success fees are common practice and they were introduced when the law changed in April 2013.

Is there a time limit for making a claim?

In most cases, you will have three years to make a claim after an accident. There are some exceptions, though, so to find out more, just get in touch. We’ll be able to advise you on your specific circumstances.

I think I have a claim, what do I do next?

It’s simple – just get in touch or request a call back and we can take it from there.

We will ask you a few questions about the accident, your injury and the circumstances in which it happened. Then we can tell you whether or not you have a claim.

You can then decide what you want to do. No pressure, no obligation.
