Work Accident Claims: Nelson & Burnley

All employers have a duty of care to protect their employees' health and safety and are required to run regular health and safety checks and risk assessments to ensure the workplace and tasks being carried out are safe.

Accidents at work are, though, common in many industries. Sometimes they occur when a mistake is made by the worker themselves. However, in some cases the accident could have been avoided were it not for the negligence of the employer or a colleague.
