Pages On: Faulty Work Equipment

Whilst fault equipment at work is a rare occurrence, it can often prove extremely dangerous. Equipment doesn’t have to be broken or dysfunctional to prove hazardous, sometimes design oversights to safety controls can be fatal to workers. If something has failed in its proper operation which you use for work, and has caused you injury, you probably stand a good chance of claiming work accident compensation.

I can’t rate this company highly enough. I was very sceptical at first as I had not had any dealings with this sort of thing but believe you me, they were very good to me right from the start. There is no pushing you to do anything you don’t want to do, they are always simply sympathetic with your plight. I didn’t think I’d stood a chance but they came through for me for which I am very grateful. Believe you me they are first class.
