Am I Entitled To Claim Compensation?

You might be eligible to make a warehouse accident claim if you’re a worker or employee in London and your injury was caused by someone else’s carelessness or by your employer failing in their responsibilities. Employers must ensure safe working conditions under the obligations set out in the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

Here’s a handy checklist to see if you’re entitled to start a London warehouse accident claim:

1. Were you employed at the time of your accident (meaning you were owed a duty of care by your employer)?
2. Did you have an accident in a warehouse that can be linked to your employer’s negligence?
3. Can your injuries be linked to that accident?

If you’ve answered yes to all of these questions, you may have grounds to start a claim. If you’d like us to check your eligibility to proceed, please get in touch. We’ll review your case for free and offer no-obligation legal advice about what to do next.

Typical Warehouse Accident Claims

Warehouse environments, whether alongside the River Thames or in Acton, Hackney or Ealing, can be hazardous if proper safety precautions aren’t maintained. Some typical situations that lead to accident claims include:

• Slips on spilt liquids or wet loading bays.
• Being struck by moving vehicles like forklifts due to poor visibility.
• Falls from ladders, racking, or mezzanine floors.
• Manual handling injuries from lifting heavy boxes without training.
• Accidents caused by faulty roller doors or unsafe shelving.

Other scenarios can include crush injuries from stacked goods collapsing, or injuries due to poor lighting in storerooms. No matter where in London your warehouse is situated, Croydon, Westminster, or in warehouses near Heathrow, employers have a duty to keep you as safe as possible.

If any of these sound familiar, we could help you start an accident at work claim. Why not call today to find out more?

Typical Injuries Claimed For

• Serious head injuries, including concussion.

2. Get medical attention, visit a hospital such as King’s College Hospital or see your GP so your injuries are officially recorded. Keep copies of any medical reports you’re given.
3. Take photographs of the accident scene, faulty equipment, and your injuries where possible.
4. Record contact details for any witnesses, your solicitor may need to speak to them.
