Large equipment – cranes being a classic example – can pose a great deal of danger to employees at work. That’s why the U.K. has such stringent health and safety laws to protect workers from harm.

But when the law is ignored and regulations are breached, people can be injured. As work injury law specialists, we are certainly no stranger to incidents involving injuries caused by cranes.

Different laws apply to certain situations which can mean some cases can be more complex than others. Accidents on cruise ships can fall in to this area because there are different laws that apply when an accident occurs out at sea.

When suffering with discomfort or tooth pain it can feel like the worst thing in the entire world! That’s one heck of a dramatic statement, I know; but you cannot easily apply pressure to a tooth, or easily rub any ointment or gel on a tooth, and quite often your only option is pain killers.

CNC – Computer Numerical Control – machines are designed to not only be more efficient, where less skilled workers can operate them and less workers are required, but they are also supposed to be safer. When safety is automated, the idea is that there should be little room for error. Yet time and time again, employers defeat or disable safety mechanisms and expose workers to injury.

This should never happen, so if it does, the victims are entitled to seek the justice they deserve.

So if you have fallen through a fragile roof during work your employer may be in breach of the law which means you may be eligible to claim for work injury compensation.

Making a successful pothole claim is not an easy thing to do. The law that applies when investigating and finding out whether you are entitled to compensation for a pothole accident is not on the side of the victim at all.

This, of course, leaves the question: what’s the best way of making a successful pothole claim?

You may have heard of the term “have you had an accident in the last three years?” or you may have sought legal advice only to be told that, because what happened to you occurred over three years ago, they cannot help you.

The reason for this is that there are rules in place as to how long after an event you can make a claim. So are there any ways of getting round these laws?
