Building Site Accident Claims

Building sites can be dangerous places, particularly if an employer has not taken all the necessary steps to ensure employees are protected from accidents at work. If you suffered a building site injury and suspect your employer was to blame, you may be able to make a building site accident claim.

Can I Claim for my Building Site Injury?

Your employer has a duty of care to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to avoid accidents at work. These steps include the provision of appropriate personal protective clothing and ensuring all employees are properly trained and supervised. If your employer breached their duty of care to you, and this resulted in an injury, you could be able to make a compensation claim.

Common building site accident claims involve:

• Trips and slips on uneven surfaces
• Poorly maintained machinery
• Falling debris, tools and equipment
• Falls from height, such as scaffolding
• Inadequate training and a lack of supervision
• Lifting and manual handling

Even if your building site accident does not fit into any of the above categories, if it occurred within the last three years and you required medical attention, contact the solicitors at JMW as soon as possible to discuss a claim.
