This area covers compensation for personal injuries caused by defective equipment at work, where the fault lies with the employer or equipment supplier and legal remedies are pursued under common-law principles and statutory safety protections. A solicitor in this field identifies the source of the defect, reviews safety records, liaises with employers, insurers and manufacturers, and advances a claim for damages for pain, suffering and financial loss. The work often involves evidence from nurses, engineers and accident investigators and may proceed through the civil courts if a settlement cannot be reached.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key risk is the risk of serious or permanent injury and the possibility of ongoing treatment. A solicitor helps by ensuring the correct liability is established, gathering medical reports, and presenting a compelling case for compensation within strict time limits.
