Workplace Accidents

As long-established Solicitors in York we have for decades been helping clients in York, North Yorkshire and beyond, to claim compensation for injuries they have suffered at work.
Apart from the suffering and inconvenience workplace accidents cause, they can cause real financial hardship.
Your employer must by law provide you with a safe workplace, and must also carry insurance cover against the risks of accidents causing injuries at work.
If you have an accident at work, which was your employer’s or a colleague’s fault, you may be entitled to compensation.
Accidents can be caused by unsafe or inadequately maintained equipment, or by your workplace not being kept tidy.
Sometimes necessary safety equipment is not provided, or adequate training, for example, on lifting heavy items is not given.
Many claims do settle without the need for court proceedings, although you do need to be willing to pursue your claim through the courts, if necessary, to achieve a successful outcome.
We do not take referrals from Claims Management companies you see advertise on TV. Our Solicitors act mainly for people in the York and North Yorkshire area and pride themselves in providing a personal service to all clients. You will normally deal with one Solicitor throughout your case and we aim to make telephone contact and appointments as easy as possible.
If you have been injured at work in the last three years, and it was not your fault, contact Steven Partridge for free without obligation advice as to whether you may have a claim.
If you have a reasonable claim, we will be able to handle it on a Conditional Fee (‘No Win, No Fee’) basis.
