Accidents at work caused by colleagues

Legal advice on compensation following accidents at work

If you have been injured at work as a result of the negligence of another colleague or employee, you may be entitled to compensation.

You are owed a duty of care by both the employer and his or her employees. If the actions (or inaction) of an individual cause you any harm as a result of a breach of this duty - provided they were in the course of their work at the time - then the employer will be vicariously liable for those actions.

An employer must ensure that his staff are adequately trained and have the required skills or attributes for the role that they have allowed them to carry out. The duty on the employer to ensure your personal safety whilst in the workplace is strict.

You will be able to make a claim for compensation arising from the personal injury that has been suffered. This may apply even if you were partially responsible for the accident.

We can help you claim compensation in these circumstances and would be happy to speak with you to outline what is involved in making a claim. You will be entitled to recover damages including but not limited to:

Damages for pain and suffering.
Lost earnings and overtime, bonuses.
Treatment costs (physiotherapy) and medication expenses
