Have a faulty equipment claim?
Most jobs, manual or otherwise, involve working with equipment to some level. Some of this equipment, if not handled properly can be very dangerous. If you have been injured as the result of faulty equipment at work then our legal experts At Mercury Legal Online we can help you to make a claim to receive compensation. You are entitled to make a claim if you were:
- Burnt by leaking chemicals
- Exposed to hazardous chemicals
- Crushed by dangerous vehicles
- Electrically shocked by cables
- Involved in a fall from a height
Your employer’s responsibility for safety
Employers have a responsibility to ensure that all equipment is tested regularly to make sure it is safe and employees need to be trained to use it properly. An accident could leave you needing to take time off work causing you to struggle financially. Your injury may require you to need surgery resulting in a period of rehabilitation and forcing you to be reliant on others. You shouldn’t worry about taking legal action against your employer; they will be covered by insurance and by making a claim you could help reduce the risk of similar accidents happening in the future.
