When Mr B suffered burns to his face and eyes during an accident at work he was awarded £2800 in compensation; his case was handled on a no win no fee basis by Oakwood Solicitors who have a vast experience of claims relating to work accidents and are committed to negotiating the most compensation they can for their clients in the UK.

Burns to the face which reach the eyes can cause eye problems. Blasts of hot air or steam or bursts of flames can seriously injure the face and eyes.

Mr B suffered his injuries when a boiler at work exploded leaving him in a huge amount of pain and requiring immediate medical attention.

In cases like Mr B’s there are not only the physical injuries to consider but emotional and financial suffering. Accidents like Mr B’s are often frightening and traumatic causing not only physical scars but mental scars as well.

There would usually be a reasonable amount of time off work required for recovery and treatment which means the victim is losing earnings. All of these things are taken into account when compensation is being awarded.

Oakwood have had plenty of experience in dealing with claims for work accidents and are totally committed to their clients from beginning to end until the maximum amount of compensation has been awarded; the personal injury team have a fantastic reputation for their professional sympathetic and committed approach to their work in the UK.

It is also important to note that all employers have a duty to ensure that all equipment is in good working order and that all employees have been trained to use the equipment correctly. They are not only responsible for the safety of their employees but also any visitors such as contractors clients or the general public or anyone who is on their premises.

You are entitled to claim compensation if you can prove that your accident was someone else’s fault. It could be the fault of your employer a fellow employee or even another company which is based at your place of work. As long as there is a clear case of third party negligence you can make a claim

The main eligible claims for accidents at work which might result in injuries are:

• Unsuitable or damaged equipment
• An unsafe system of work
• Dangerous working practices
• Contact with dangerous materials
• Poor health and safety

Mr L received 100% of the compensation. Oakwood recovered their legal fees from the third party. This is how the no win no fee arrangement works and it means that the client does not have to pay anything at all.
