Factory Injury Claims

Factory accidents are a far too common occurrence in the UK, with workers being injured as a result of inadequate training, sub-standard machinery or a lack of proper supervision.

Due to the nature of the working environment, factory injuries can be life changing and poor employer health and safety procedures can even lead to a loss of life.

Companies that employ workers in a factory have a duty of care to make sure the work environment is safe and protect the workforce from accidents. Sadly, employers do not always follow the rules. As a result, more than 60,000 workers in UK factories are injured at work every year, with 15 losing their life.
