Machinery Injury Claims
Had a machinery accident at work that was not your fault? If you have suffered injuries as a result of a machinery accident that was caused due to the negligence of another person, you may be eligible to make machinery injury claims. In the UK, a large number of workers suffer injuries caused by faulty or defective machinery at work. Since machinery injury claims are straightforward in many cases, making a claim for compensation can be a hassle free task. There are many causes of machinery accidents at work. Some of the common causes that can give rise to potential machinery injury claims include:
- damaged or absent guards on milling machines and lathes
- mechanical failure
- untidy workplace causing slips, trips and falls near manufacturing and engineering equipment
- lack of safety features on equipments
- emission of toxic chemicals from machinery
- defective or faulty machinery
- equipments with poor design
Machinery accidents can cause a number of injuries to the hands, eyes and fingers. For example, your hand or fingers may get trapped in defective or fast moving machinery and you may suffer crush injuries as a result. If you have been a victim of machinery accident whilst at work, it is important for you to seek legal advice and get your compensation claim underway.
Am I Eligible to Make Machinery Injury Claims?
If you became a victim of a machinery accident within the last three years, it may not be too late to make a claim for compensation. However, to be able to make a claim for compensation, you will need to prove that you suffered some form of personal injury in a machinery accident at work. You may also need to prove that you suffered injuries due to the negligence of your employer to take care of your health and safety whilst at work. For example, if your employer failed to carry out risk assessments and you suffered injuries on defective machinery, you may be able to make a successful claim for compensation.
