Falling from Height and Falling Objects

Is my employer responsible if I suffer falling injuries?

An employer is under a duty to ensure that you are safe whilst you are at work. They must carry out appropriate risk assessments and take the necessary precautions to avoid a fall occurring, particularly when the only way the work can be performed is from a height.

Examples could include using a scaffold platform with double guard-rail and toe board and/or using safety nets.

If your employer fails to take any of these precautions and you suffer an injury as a result, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation.

Maximum Compensation: Guaranteed

If you are successful in your claim, you will be awarded damages for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity which will be assessed and based upon the medical evidence that is obtained in your case. You can also claim special damages, and these are based upon your out-of-pocket expenses.
