A lot has changed in the last few years. The way in which personal injury compensation claims are handled is very different, and they way in which legal fees can be recovered has been totally changed.
There are many forms of employment that require access to high up places. Even in your general office or shop you may need to reach high shelving units. But one thing we have seen time and time again is injuries caused by employees being instructed to use stools or chairs to reach high places.
Recent press releases confirmed that Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council have awarded £250,000 to 26 victims of the five children’s homes identified in an abuse scandal dating back to the 1970’s.

Many people worry about things that they really ought not to when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation. It can’t be helped though – if you have no experience or knowledge about how things work, you can’t be expected to simply know all that you need to know!
Whilst it is an unusual scenario, we have run claims with these exact circumstances. Shelving, when poorly maintained or badly constructed staff, can be a real hazard if it were to collapse whilst you’re nearby. Not only are you likely to be hit by the shelf, but any stock on there could land on you as well and cause some nasty injuries.
