BUILDING SITE ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CLAIMS
Every week one or two people die as a result of a building site accident in the United Kingdom. Thousands more suffer from serious injuries that are avoidable if employers complied with the safety regulations. Construction is one of the United Kingdom's largest industries and has consistently registered high rates of accidents. Serious injuries and fatalities among construction workers continue to occur despite the fact that considerable resources are channelled into the enforcement of health and safety regulations on construction sites. Our solicitors are personal injury specialist and deal with building site accident compensation claims on a risk free no win no fee basis - compensation is paid in full.

Negligence
Workers are careless particularly when driving site vehicles and building companies ignore safety rules and require workers to lift loads with worn and weathered lifting cables, to work at height with no fall protection, to work in trenches without adequate shoring, to use defective tools and equipment and repeatedly subject building site workers to unsafe working practices and unsafe conditions. Unless the injured employee or contractor is represented by an experienced solicitor knowledgeable in a variety of construction techniques and the applicable safety standards then the potential for making building site accident compensation claims may often go unrecognised.

Statutory Protection
Numerous laws and regulations are in force to protect workers whether employed or self employed from being accident victims. An employer must, amongst many other things, provide his employees with a safe system of work, competent co-workers, adequate machinery and equipment and protective clothing and safety materials and failure to do so will result in the employer being liable in negligence for building site accident compensation claims for any personal injury.
