Workplace accidents

Your employer has a ‘duty of care’ to ensure, as far as possible, your health, safety and welfare while you’re in the workplace. If this ‘duty of care’ is breached in any way, either through inadequate training, improper storage of hazardous materials or general workplace safety, and results in a work-related personal injury, you may have a valid claim.

Whether your injury was sustained as a result of your employer’s or a fellow employee’s negligence, you may be able to make an accident at work claim against your employer or the individual responsible for the injury you sustained. Rest assured that Alkers’ experienced accident at work solicitors will treat your case with the utmost sensitivity, ensuring there is no adverse effect on your future employment.
