Every employer is legally required to provide a safe working environment. If they fail in this duty and you’re injured as a result, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries, lost earnings, and rehabilitation costs.

Understanding Workplace Accidents

Accidents can occur in any workplace, from offices to construction sites, and often happen when employers fail to provide a safe working environment. These incidents range from slips and trips to injuries caused by faulty equipment or inadequate training.

As an employee, you have the right to work in a safe and secure environment, free from avoidable risks. Employers who fail to meet their legal responsibilities may be liable for these consequences.
