Trolley / Stock Cage Wheel Gets Caught – Advice from The Injury Lawyers
Work Accident Claims – 100% Compensation!
Trolleys and stock cages are a common piece of work equipment in many roles and workplaces. There is a duty for employers to take reasonable steps to make sure that trolleys and cages are maintained and suitable for use under The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992.
But what if there is nothing wrong with the trolley or cage itself, but the floor is dangerous or defective and a wheel gets stuck or caught, resulting an injury? Perhaps the sudden stop has jerked you and caused a back or shoulder injury, or perhaps the shift in weight has caused the trolley or cage to fall over?
Slipped on steps on a lorry / wagon / works vehicle? – advice from The Injury Lawyers
I think the vast majority of large work vehicles will have steps on them to allow employees to use them properly. Lorry cabs will have them; diggers will have them; even small vans may have them to access the back.
So what happens if you slip on vehicle steps and you are injured as a result? Whether you have slipped and twisted your ankle or knee, or fallen down and caused an impact injury, you may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
Slipped on oil at work? Advice from The Injury Lawyers
Oil is common in many workplaces, particularly those in the manufacturing and automotive industries. So what happens if you slip on oil that’s in the workplace? As far as substances go, oil is defiantly one of the ones that will be more likely to cause you to slip!

Can I make a No Win, No Fee Claim?
A No Win, No Fee agreement should mean that you will not have to pay any legal fees to your lawyer if they take your case on and they are unable to secure a successful conclusion. The point of this is that you shouldn’t be at risk of losing thousands of pounds by making a claim that may not win.
Sometimes it’s just too difficult to know if you can win unless we go ahead and pursue the claim! So when can you make a No Win, No Fee claim?
When to make a compensation claim
The best thing is to do start it right away. There are limitation periods that mean you only get so much time from the date of an incident or date of knowledge of negligence to pursue a claim, but you are in a far better position making it immediately for many reasons.
Let’s take a brief look at the law and the reasons why starting it early can increase your chances of winning a claim as well as help you settle a claim in a shorter time frame.

Wet Floor Claims in Wet Weather – Advice from The Injury Lawyers
Whilst it’s fair to say we have had a fairly snow-free winter this year (or at least we have in the midlands where we’re based), it’s certainly been a wet one. There are more weather warnings on the way for this weekend, and in the colder and wetter months we can normally expect an increase in people making wet floor claims.
You walk in to a shop, pub, restaurant, or other public place and there may well be water that has been walked in from snow or rain outside. So if you slip because of this, what can you do about it?
Manhole Cover Compensation Claims – What You need to Know
Having been helping people claim for personal injury compensation caused by manhole cover accidents for years, I know better than to walk over them! I know that you’d expect the cover to be safe to cross over; especially when it’s on a public path or highway. But unfortunately, we take on a lot of claims where people have been injured by covers collapsing, flipping, or injuries caused by covers simply not being there.
If you are the unfortunate victim of a manhole cover incident, what can you do about making a claim for personal injury compensation?
For most firms, offering a 100% compensation is now a thing of the past. The government decided to change the law last April and stopped lawyers recovering all of their legal fees from the other side. To add salt to the wounds, they also slashed the amount of fees a lawyer can recover to a mere fraction of what it used to be.
So is there such a thing as a 100% compensation agreement anymore? Or is it just a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that you’ll never find?
