Dangerous Machinery Claims

Many accidents happen in the workplace because of dangerous or faulty machinery or equipment. It’s vitally important that those who are responsible for using such equipment are fully trained to do so, and an employer should ensure that this is the case every time.

If you have been injured by a piece of dangerous or faulty equipment then PIC Claim can help you through the dangerous machinery claims process. Our aim is your complete satisfaction, ensuring you get the full amount of compensation you are entitled to to help you improve your quality of life. Claim Compensation Now.

Faulty Equipment Compensation

Equipment should be checked regularly to ensure it is working properly and does not pose a health hazard or a risk of injury. Your employer has a duty of care to make sure that this is done, and should carry out risk assessments on all machinery before it is used in the workplace.

Similarly, if you are contracted to do work from another company and are on their premises, e.g. a delivery driver at a warehouse or depot, you should also be protected from the threat of dangerous or faulty equipment. You would also expect anyone operating machinery in these environments to be appropriately trained, and for it to be checked for possible defects. If this is not done then the risk of accident and injury to you is much higher, which can lead to needing to claim faulty equipment compensation.

When to make a Dangerous/Faulty Equipment Injury Claim

There are a number of cases where you may find yourself needing to make a dangerous or faulty equipment claim for compensation. Some common examples of these accidents include:

  • Crushed limbs from heavy machinery
  • Falls from an unsecured ladder
  • Faulty electrical items/plug sockets
  • Jewellery (e.g. rings/bracelets) becoming trapped on moving parts
  • Loose parts flying off into your eye

Virtually all of these cases could be avoided if the correct training and/or suitable personal protective equipment were provided by the employer. Quality training would educate workers into the benefits of wearing safety clothing such as goggles and gloves, or removing jewellery. If training has not been provided, it would be the employer that would be liable to payout any claim made against them.

Here at PIC Claim we are experts at getting you the compensation you are entitled to if your employer has acted negligently by failing to check or maintain possible dangerous equipment in the workplace. Our solicitors have successfully won hundreds of cases for people in similar situations, and can do so by issuing legal proceedings against the person or company responsible.
