Personal Injury & HSE

Overview

We have the expertise to assess and analyse all contributing factors in personal injury incidents. Our comprehensive service spans the full timeline—from pre-loss risk management to identify potential hazards, through detailed forensic investigation after an incident, to post-loss advice aimed at reducing recurrence and improving safety practices. Our multidisciplinary team is equipped to handle a wide range of accident scenarios, including slips, trips, falls from height, hand-arm vibration syndrome, hearing loss, and injuries involving power tools or industrial machinery. We also provide expert support in relation to Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigations and prosecutions. With a strong track record across various industries, we deliver clear, evidence-based insights to help our clients understand incident causes and implement effective preventative measures.

Personal Injury Specialists

Construction Injuries

Construction Injuries

Construction remains the UK’s most dangerous industry, with one worker killed and 300 seriously injured weekly in 2020/21, despite stricter regulations and enforcement.

Falls From Height

Falls From Height

Health and Safety Executive data shows falls from height caused about 25% of work-related deaths and were the leading cause of workplace fatalities in 2020-21. They also accounted for 8% of non-fatal workplace accidents.

Lifting Operations

Lifting Operations

Most lifting operations are incident-free, but failures can cause injuries, fatalities, and damage to equipment or property.

Manual Handling

Manual Handling

The HSE defines manual handling as “transporting or supporting a load by hand or bodily force.” It’s a common risk across industries like construction, warehousing, offices, and delivery. Accidents often involve multiple factors and can lead to significant compensation claims.

Noise & Vibration Injuries

Noise & Vibration Injuries

Noise and vibration injuries develop gradually and often go unnoticed until irreversible. Proving sufficient exposure can be difficult.

Slips & Trips

Slips & Trips

Even cursory scrutiny of published accident statistics will show that slips, trips and falls are responsible for more workplace injuries than any other accident type, with tens of thousands of pedestrian falls reported to HSE in the UK each year. Elsewhere, the rates of such incidents are very high, regardless of the geography. In workplace areas, approximately one third of all reported injuries are the result of slips, trips or falls, and the incidence is also routinely high in commercial and domestic settings.
