There are many causes for accidents in the workplace.  Some of the most common accidents that we encounter at Bridge McFarland LLP arise due to:

• Slipping and tripping hazards
• Heavy lifting
• A lack of or inadequate personal protective equipment
• Faulty or poorly maintained work equipment and surroundings
• Working at height
• Repetitive tasks
• General poor health and safety management

Accidents in the workplace resulting in injuries can lead to a person being absent from work and losing earnings.  There can also be instances when a person is unable to return to their employment due to the nature or seriousness of the injuries they have suffered or instead, cannot return to the role they held before.  They may lose earnings for the rest of their life. 

On some occasions, the injuries suffered can be so serious that there are other things to consider for the future such as that person’s needs.  Whatever the nature of your injuries and the nature of your employment, you want to know that you are going to be compensated for what has happened to you and as far as possible, put back into the position that you were before the accident occurred. 

With the proper advice, you can achieve this and Bridge McFarland LLP can assist you and guide you through the process of your claim.  Bridge McFarland LLP have many years experience of working with clients who have been injured in the workplace, so if you have an enquiry, please get in touch with a member of the team.
