Warehouse Accident Claim

HAD AN ACCIDENT IN A WAREHOUSE?

Warehouses are usually very large buildings storing lots of equipment, high shelving and heavy goods, and warehouse workers are an integral part of the retail chain for most businesses. With so much going on in such large-scale premises, working in a warehouse can put employees at risk of injury.

TYPES OF WAREHOUSE ACCIDENT CLAIM

Common warehouse accidents include:

• Personal injury from falling objects
• Injuries caused by machinery
• Accidents involving forklift trucks
• Manual handling accidents

IF YOU’VE BEEN IN A WAREHOUSE ACCIDENT

Being injured in a warehouse accident can have long-lasting effects on your physical and mental health.
Depending on how serious your injury is, you might need to take time off work to recover. This could be just a few weeks, but in the worst cases you might be unable to work for months or even years. Loss of earnings whilst you’re not working can add to your worries and make it more difficult to recover. In these circumstances, it can be helpful to claim for compensation to relieve some of the stress and financial burden.
If you’ve had an accident in the last three years when working in a warehouse, and can prove it wasn’t your fault, Porter Wood Law Solicitors can help you claim for compensation

You won’t be claiming from an individual. Porter Wood Law Solicitors can give you more information about your case.
A member of our team will have a confidential chat with you about your accident and any injuries. They will talk you through the process of making a compensation claim and may be able to give you an estimate of how much money you could receive.
This consultation is free, and there is no obligation to go ahead with a claim even after speaking to us. You’ll just have the information you need to make an informed decision about claiming for your accident.
