Being hit by a falling object can result in serious injury or even death, yet these kinds of serious accidents happen all too often.
Your employer has a legal responsibility to reduce the risk of injury. This means they should protect you from the danger of falling objects at work. If you or a loved one were injured because your employer failed in their duty of care, then you could make a compensation claim.
Falling object injuries happen in all sorts of workplaces and for varying reasons including:
- Items not being stacked properly in warehouses
- Safety netting not being in place on scaffolding at construction sites
- Buildings themselves being at risk of collapse
- Faults with machinery which causes parts to tear off
If you have been injured in a public place rather than in the work place, our public accident team will also be able to help out.
If it’s not clear what caused the accident, our expert team can visit the site to carry out an investigation. In cases where the accident was caused by faulty machinery, we can even get the help of expert engineers to work out what happened.
We’ve represented thousands of people in workplace accident claims, so we understand how an injury can affect your life. We won’t just help you claim compensation, but also make sure you have access to any rehabilitation, physiotherapy and other medical support that you might need.
The majority of the claims we handle are on a No Win No Fee basis, which means there's nothing to pay upfront and that you won’t have to pay any legal fees if your claim isn’t successful*.
