Making a Fall from Height Compensation Claim with JMW

According to official figures, every year there are approximately 35 deaths, 4,500 major injuries and another 7,000 less serious injuries that occur as a direct result of a fall from height.

Accidents of this kind commonly take place following falls from ladders, vehicles, through unstable or fragile roofs or off scaffolding.

If you have fallen from height at work and, as a result, been left with serious injuries that require you to stop working or have extensive rehabilitation or physiotherapy, you may be entitled to compensation.

However, we have to prove the company you were working for at the time was culpable for the incident, or at least could have prevented it.

We will aim to show that the firm did some or all of the following:

• Failed to carry out an adequate risk assessment
• Provided no or little supervision
• Provided no or insufficient training
• Failed to provide suitable equipment
• Failed to make sure a safe system of work was provided and followed
