Injuries at work and school

Leigh Day & Co lawyers are experts at handling claims for accidents at work such as may occur in a factory, on a construction site or even in the office or at school or college.

Each year thousands of people have an accident at work in the UK who may be entitled to claim compensation. Many of them suffer terrible injuries that can destroy their lives and those of their families.

Injuries at work happen for number of reasons, often because the employer has breached one of a number of laws covering health and safety at work.  Leigh Day & Co solicitors are experts at  successfully representing people who have been injured at work in their claims for compensation.
