Accidents at Work

If you have been in an accident at work that has caused you injury, you may be entitled to compensation. At Lincoln Lewis Solicitors we offer free consultation to people who have been involved in an accident at work and have subsequently sustained an injury.

We work on a No Win No Fee basis to recover compensation for work accident victims whether they were employed, self-employed or just visiting a business at the time of the accident.

UK employers have a duty of care to ensure that their work environment meets minimum safety standards. You may have been injured as you may not have received adequate training for your job or you may have been provided with faulty equipment to work. If you have sustained an injury that could have been prevented you can claim for compensation.

All Employers must have insurance cover for these types of accidents and injuries. If you do decide to claim for compensation for your injuries the employer is not allowed to treat you in a way that is different than if you had not claimed for the accident.
