Injury at work claim?
On Monday my Boyfriend who works for a tool hire company fell off a ladder roughly 11ft. Anyway he be at work on his own and knocked himself unconcious after being out for give or take a few 50 mins he came around realised he was contained by pain and lieing on his back manage to reach his mobile phone in his pocket and ring for an ambulance.he is in 2 minds wether to put a claim in or how to be in motion about it because he shouldnt have be up the ladder. even though it was because he be closing up and the shutter had jammed and he had to fix it. are the company at bad habit for letting him be there on his own isnt this against Helath and Safety laws inside an industrial company?
Answers:
First of all a apposite solicitor will ask the following questions:
1) Had he been drinking or taking any informal substances (I know it sounds stupid, but it will be the first question they ask), because this will affect his claim.
2) Is there any long occupancy damage to your partner. If the answer's no, is it worth suing his employers - because if he does, he will probably loose his duty.
He most probably wouldn't get that much compensation, because it hasn't left him disabled and surrounded by a wheelchair requiring full time care. So he is capable of getting another undertaking.
It does sound like he would own a case but would it be worth loosing his job to obtain less than a couple of thousand pounds?!
My advice, if you still want to be in motion ahead with it, go to your local Citizens Advice Bureau who will put you surrounded by contact with the local solicitor.
Also, most of these company's work on a 'no win, no fee' basis, so if he win's, they will nick a percentage of his compensation, meaning he will get even smaller amount.
Good luck
PS: Just noticed you stated 'he shouldn't have be up the ladder' -that's kind of admitting liability and I wouldn't mention that if you shift to see a solicitor!
I don't know if the company is at culpability for letting him work alone, but he CAN and SHOULD file a claim. If the company denies it, he can take them to court for the medical bills and anything else that happen because of that fall. He had a valid plea to be on that ladder - and the main purpose was because there be nobody else there to fix the shutter. Have him get a legal representative if the company doesn't pay up.
Good luck. I hope he's okay.
turn in the claim he was at work
Yes he can work by himself. However, it sounds like he had acquittal for being on the ladder surrounded by the first place (the shutter had jammed and had to be fixed). The companies insurance will cover the claim. The company in opposition can argue that he did not follow the proper procedure in setting up a ladder. If I be you I would make sure he knows the procedure and consequently make the claim so that when asked about following it, he will right to be heard yes I did and actually know the proper way. The longer he wait to make a clam the harder it gets. Do not permit the company just say "we will bear care your medical bills and compensation" without have it in writing. Make the claim. Hope this helps.
