Hazardous Occupations

Our Specialist Solicitors offer a 100% Compensation - No Win No Fee service, meaning that you receive 100% of your compensation and pay absolutely nothing to claim.

Every job has its own level of related risk. However some jobs pose a greater risk and employers should always have adequate health and safety procedures and risk assessments in place. Over the years the most hazardous occupations appear to have changed. At one time, fishermen and seafarers were statistically far more likely to have a fatal accident than other workers along with miners, pilots and divers. Today, builders, construction workers and drivers are significantly more likely to be injured at work. It is probably self-evident that office workers are one of the least likely to be injured at work.
