Mr O from Wigan sought accident at work claims advice after a nasty accident with help from our friendly team in Manchester Oakwoods was there to assist with their solicitor’s expertise in accidents within the workplace.

Your employer has a duty to protect you and tell you about health and safety issues that affect you.

They also have a legal obligation to report certain accidents and incidents and to pay you sick pay if you are entitled to it. Your employer has to carry out a risk assessment and do what’s needed to take care of the health and safety of employees and visitors.

This includes deciding how many first-aiders are needed and what kind of first-aid equipment and facilities should be provided.

Mr O who is 49 lost his thumb when it was severed on the lid of his tool box whilst at work causing Mr O considerable distress even causing sleepless nights and flashbacks to the incident.
