At Tylers Solicitors, we’re proud to provide trusted no-win, no-fee legal services for employees who have suffered an accident at work. We have helped hundreds of victims seek justice for injuries that were not their fault.
Unfortunately, most workplace accidents for which we file claims are preventable, making compensation even more essential for victims.
This 2019 case highlights the importance of maintaining proper manual handling procedures as an employer and the consequences that can occur when health and safety standards are compromised.
What happened?
In 2019, we represented an employee who worked as a manual labourer. His employer instructed him to lift and move a large, heavy window without any lifting equipment or automated assistance for support.
During the task, the claimant suffered from several injuries as a result, including:
- A back injury
- Pain in the left knee
- Ongoing chronic pain
The claims process
We filed a manual handling claim against the employer for failing to provide a safe working environment and breaching manual handling regulations. Following professional assessments, strong evidence, and negotiations, the case was resolved via a settlement.
The outcome
Our client received £120,000 in compensation for his workplace accident and injuries to reflect his physical suffering, ongoing pain, and impact on day-to-day life.
