What causes industrial injuries in the workplace?
As with any workplace, employers in industrial settings have a duty of care to keep their team safe. Often, industrial accidents leading to injuries are caused when this duty is breached. Here are some of the most common causes of industrial accidents:
- Faulty equipment
- A lack of staff training
- Poor health and safety protocols
Common industrial injuries
With over 20 years in the personal injury claims business, we’ve supported claimants who have been involved in a range of industrial workplace accidents. Some common injuries we’ve seen include:

What do you need to file an industrial injury claim?
When claiming compensation, it is important to provide as much supporting evidence as possible. We advise our clients to undergo a medical assessment to provide a detailed report on the injuries they have suffered.
You’ll also need to be able to identify a liable party and prove that the accident was not your fault. If possible, try to gather photographic evidence, CCTV footage, and anything else that will support your claim.
When you have a consultation with the Tylers Solicitors team, we’ll guide you through the industrial injury claim process and ensure you have everything you need to make a strong compensation claim.
How long do you have to file industrial injury claims?
As with most other personal injuries, you usually have three years from your accident date to file your industrial injury claim.
It’s worth noting that your claim does not have to be settled within this timeframe — it just needs to be submitted within that period.

If you’ve suffered any kind of industrial machinery injury because of faulty machinery in the workplace, you may be able to claim compensation.
