Our client from Southampton was only 23 when he was injured in his workplace. A defective scaffolding pole in his workplace hit him in the face.
Facial injuries always cause our clients a great deal of concern. Until the swelling and bruising subsides significantly it is never known how much damage of a facial injury will be permanent. It is natural that the client would worry just in case a permanent scar would be left on their face. Permanent scarring even if fairly insignificant can cause a great deal of suffering to the victim.
If as an employee you feel your employer has failed to either act or that they have been negligent in their actions which could have reasonably been predicted to cause an accident then you can take legal action to get compensation. On the particular circumstances of your case for advice come to Oakwood.
Sometimes either an action or inaction can cause harm to an employee. Actions which could be considered harmful to employers could be something as simple as the removal of the safety guard on equipment. And an inaction which could cause harm could be something such as an employer failing to replace worn or defective piece of equipment. Another frequent inaction is employers not ensuring that warning signs are placed when liquids are spilt on the floor.
If you have been the victim of a workplace accident come to compensation claim specialists at Oakwood to start your claim.
Duty of care is a much used legal term which comes into play when a company or organisation does something which could be reasonably expected to cause another person harm either intentionally or through neglect. This harm could be a physical injury or it could be a mental injury. In a workplace the employer must provide a minimum of a reasonable care towards all its employees.
If this duty of care is neglected and subsequently an accident occurs employees are further covered by being able to take their employer to court to get the financial compensation for any harm caused by their employer’s negligence or abandonment of their duty of care.
After a workplace accident Oakwood can help you to make a compensation claim to get the correct financial remuneration that you deserve call our staff on 0844 499 9302 today to start the settlement procedure.
