What are construction accidents?
Construction accidents are a special type of accident at work. They occur when a worker (or visitor to a work site) is injured. It is common for there to be some failing on the part of the employer/ site owner, such as an accident occurring as a result of defective premises or equipment.
Unfortunately, because construction accidents often involve heavy or large machinery, serious injuries and fatalities can occur.
What sort of construction accidents can I claim personal injury compensation for?
Construction accidents take in many different workplaces, so they are varied in type. For example, a construction accident may occur if you fall at work (e.g. from a ladder, scaffolding or other height), due to faulty machinery or equipment, inadequate protective equipment being given to you, even a ‘road traffic accident’ involving a site vehicle would count!
Because of this, you should speak with a Donoghue Solicitors construction accident lawyer who will assess your accident circumstances for free and without obligation to see if you can make a personal injury compensation claim.
Will I lose my job if I make a construction accident claim?
Your job should be protected after an accident. Your employers are required by law not to hold the fact that you are making a construction accident claim against you. If they do, and you are unfairly treated or dismissed as a result, you may be able to claim additional compensation at an employment tribunal.
How does the law help people pursue construction accident claims?
If you have been injured in a construction accident, you will want to instruct a specialist construction accident lawyer to look after your claim. This is because there are many different laws, cases and regulations which have been introduced over the years to protect workers and visitors to construction sites.
Donoghue Solicitors’ work accident solicitors are specialists in this area of law, so know how to use these rules to your advantage. It is often the case that employers use their insurers and solicitors to hide behind complicated defences rather than admit liability for an accident. Our lawyers know how to cut through these arguments to ensure you receive the personal injury compensation you deserve.
