Over 100 workers are injured
Over 100 workers are injured after falls from ladders every week, and around 78 die each year. Employers have a duty of care to safeguard the health of their employees, and if they fail to do this and an accident at work occurs, they have been negligent.
What to do if you are have been injured in a ladder fall
Any workers who have suffered injury after falling off ladders due to lack of training, poor maintained ladders or bad working practices should take legal advice on making a compensation claim against their employer. It could help stop a similar accident happening to someone else, as well as providing the injured worker with the financial compensation to which they are entitled.
Editorial notes: George Ide, Phillips provides a cost-free compensation service to people all over the UK after they have had an accident at work.
