Pursuing a Work Accident Claim in Manchester

Statistics released by the Health and Safety Executive reported that last year alone 1.2million people suffered from a work induced injury or industrial illness, whilst a further 133 people were fatally injured whilst carrying out their daily duties in the workplace.

There are stringent guidelines that employers must comply with in order to safeguard the health and safety of their employees whilst under their contract of employment. Legally, employers are bound by a duty of care and should carry out regular risk assessments as well ensuring the provision of protective clothing where suitable in line with EU health and safety regulations. Where it can be demonstrated that a Manchester based employer has breached or neglected this duty; resulting in a workplace accident; this can warrant the grounds for a personal injury claim.

As with all personal injury cases, work accident claims are subject to strict statutory time limits and must be made within three years of diagnosis or knowledge of the injury. Where the employer or organisation is no longer in existence, victims are still able to pursue a claim against the businesses insurer and should seek expert legal advice at the earliest opportunity.
