Construction site accidents claims we have run successfully include:

There are many more types of construction site accidents where we have won claims.

Construction sites are seriously dangerous places if not run and managed well. Employers are under very strict duties to try to ensure that you are able to carry out your work in the safest way possible.

Employers and those responsible for sites must ensure that you are safe and they have to carry insurance.

Some people fear that their employer might sack them if they claim, but the law affords you some protection, so ask us about that.
