Falls from Height Lawyers Glasgow, Scotland

The Work at Height Regulations require an employer to do all that is reasonable to eliminate the need for an employee to work at height, for example, by providing alternative working conditions or by adapting the working environment. An employee should not be required to perform tasks at height unless it is necessary. In which case, the employer is obliged to undertake a risk assessment and accordingly provide the necessary training and equipment to mitigate the possible risk of injury.

If your employer has breached their duty to provide safe working conditions by failing to undertake consistent and regular risk assessments, failing to provide essential training, support and supervision and by creating a dangerous working environment for employees, you may be able to make a personal injury claim. If you have sustained an injury as a result of a fall from a height, contact our team of Personal Injury Solicitors for specialist legal advice and support.

Although all industry sectors have the potential to expose workers to risks, certain working environments and jobs place employees in greater danger of sustaining injury. In many cases, these incidents are avoidable and are instead the result of an employer failing to protect workers properly.

The amount of compensation you will be entitled to is specific to the injuries you have sustained and the circumstances of the accident. Our team of specialist Personal Injury Solicitors will assess the details of your case and advise you of the approximate value of your claim. We will build a robust case on your behalf and establish the failings that led to your injury. We will work to ensure you are compensated for the full financial and personal losses you have suffered as a result of your injury.
