The Law - Your employers have a legal responsibility to take care for your safety.

The law is supported by complex regulations about safety in the work place.

There are general regulations about  safety - keeping floors and pathways clear and safe, keeping the work place clean, warm and well lit.

And there are specific regulations about working on ladders or scaffolds, working with dangerous chemicals, working with dangerous machines, working on  computer equipment and so on.

Our lawyers have years of expertise with these regulations. We often win cases for our clients after other lawyers haven't been able to get anywhere.

Mr Farringdon was operating a cherry-picker crane whilst working in a shipyard in Cornwall. Whilst he was moving the crane his arm became trapped between the crane and part of the boat he was working on, and he suffered a crushing injury to his elbow.

We issued court proceedings against the employers and recently settled his case for over £15,000.00 in compensation.

Mr Lancashire was an aircraft engineer in Kent working on the development of a new airliner. He suffered a severe neck injury when the prototype for a new overhead locker failed and struck him on the head. Our client only contacted us as the three year time limit for issuing court proceedings was about to expire, so we had to act very quickly. The insurers initially denied responsibility for the accident, but we pressed on with the case and they eventually accepted responsibility. We gathered all the necessary evidence and our client was then able to settle his case for £35,000.00.

Mr Elkington suffered a severe back injury at work when he was crushed against a lorry by a fork lift truck in Manchester.  We took on his case and quickly obtained an admission of liability from the insurers.

Mr Ternent is a young man from Oxfordshire who asked us to take up his case when he suffered a severe back injury after being told to move a heavy load of paper by hand after his stacker truck broke down!

We spelt out the numerous breaches of the workplace regulations and the insurers immediately admitted responsibility for the accident.

Mr Evans from Manchester suffered a crushing injury to his foot when he was run over by a road roller at work.

My local solicitor couldn’t get anywhere with the insurance company, so he recommended that I contact Mulderrigs. Within a few days, Mr Mulderrig drove 300 miles to see me. He quickly sorted out the arguments about who was to blame and is now gathering the evidence to decide how much compensation I should get. Mr Papapdopolous, Swansea
