Inadequate and Faulty Equipment

If you are unfortunate enough to suffer an injury in an accident at work then we can help you find out if you are entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim. Our specialist injury solicitors offer a 100% Compensation - No Win No Fee service, meaning that you receive 100% of your compensation and pay absolutely nothing to claim.

Equipment used in the workplace can include; machinery, computers, sports equipment, protective equipment, tractors, cranes, ladders, scaffolding, cookers. The list is endless.

Equipment on a construction site is generally more dangerous and hazardous materials can be more unstable. If equipment is not maintained, tested and serviced regularly then you could be at risk of a physical injury. Employers are responsible for monitoring the general wear and tear of equipment and machinery as even minor defects can cause serious problems.

Employers and site managers have a duty of care to provide adequate protective safety equipment, health and safety training and advice and should ensure maintenance of the equipment to the highest level. Poorly maintained equipment or an unmanaged workplace with hazards such as slippery surfaces or trailing cables are evidence of a negligent employer.

Case Study

"A nurse at St Helier Hospital has won a compensation payout totalling £11,000 for injuries caused to his wrist when the glass window pane in a rotting window smashed while he was opening it."

Case Study

"A nurse working at South Moor Hospital in County Durham was been awarded £45,000 in compensation after being injured while moving a hospital bed. The victim was attempting to move a hospital bed to change the sheets and was injured when the bed’s brakes failed to release. She awoke an old injury in her back when she pulled the bed towards her, expecting it to slide easily on its wheels."
