They're accidents that occur in any sort of 'industrial' work environment. These can include mines, oil rigs, factories, warehouses, workshops, power plants and more. Hazards are never far away in these settings, whether it be heavy-duty machinery or dangerous substances.

If you've been involved in an accident at work you've probably been hurt. Industrial injuries can range from minor to severe and even life-threatening, but they often leave you with more than just physical damage.

I've helped many people like you with industrial injury claims. Team up with an experienced pair of paws and let's get some answers.

Your employer has a duty of care to keep you safe at work – it's literally the law. But I've seen plenty of circumstances where that hasn't been the case. Mistakes and negligence do happen, as do industrial accident claims.

These are some of the most common causes I've come across:

• Lack of safety measures: Your employer must make every effort to provide a safe and secure work environment for you. Any unavoidable risks should be mitigated with relevant safety measures. This may include things like supplying the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) or installing alarms.
• Faulty machinery and equipment: Industrial machine accidents often occur because certain pieces of equipment haven't been inspected, maintained or repaired as they should. You could claim in line with the Employer's Liability (Defective Equipment) Act 1969 if this is the case
• Hazardous work conditions: Accidents in industrial workplaces often occur due to the work environment. Settings like factories and oil rigs are busy, noisy and filled with potentially hazardous materials, which makes other risks like heavy machinery even more dangerous. Slips, trips and falls can also be more likely.
• Inadequate training: Whether you're working directly with machinery, equipment and dangerous substances or not, your employer should provide appropriate safety training. If they didn't and you suffered injuries in an industrial accident because of it, you could claim for that.
• Moving vehicles: Miscommunication or mistakes when surrounded by moving vehicles can be serious. Employers should take every precaution to ensure the safety of people in the driver's seat and those on the ground. Working in an industrial environment is no walk in the park!

Whatever caused your industrial accident at work, there's no need to feel like an underdog. I don't chase cars (most of the time), I chase compensation. My team and I are here to get you the industrial injuries compensation you deserve.

Industrial accidents can result in injuries and illnesses of all kinds. Yours don't have to be severe to make it worth pursuing a compensation claim. The most common include:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Muscle, ligament and tendon damage
• Head, brain and neck injuries
• Loss of limbs
• Hearing loss
• Cuts and abrasions
• Burns
• Eye injuries
• Long-term conditions (e.g. asbestosis or vibration white finger)
• Fatality

Can't see your injury on the list? Don't worry, that doesn't mean you're barking up the wrong tree. Give me a ring on [medtel] and we'll have a chat about your industrial accident compensation claim.

“It’s crucial to know what types of injuries you can claim for. From repetitive strain injuries due to overuse of machinery to more severe cases like fractures, burns, and hearing loss, compensation should reflect the lasting impact they can have on your livelihood. Underdog ensures that you're fully aware of your rights, so you can pursue claims for both immediate injuries and long-term health complications.”

If you've been hurt at work because of someone else's negligence, then there's every reason to claim.

Industrial accident compensation could see you recover some of the money you've lost since the incident or help you out while you're on the mend. You could claim compensation for the pain and suffering. This can also help if you're likely to have future expenses related to your injuries. The cost of travelling to and from appointments, further treatments and any necessary home adaptations could be included in your payout.

You don't even have to get your paws that dirty. My team and I can do all the initial digging. Then, if you have grounds for a claim, an expert from our panel of industrial accident solicitors will take the lead.

What are you waiting for? Give yourself a chance. Call me on 0800 047 3017 to start your industrial injury claim today.

It's easy to pin the blame for some industrial accidents at work. Others, not so much. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 outlines the duty of care your employer has for you. If they don't uphold this, perhaps through failing to maintain machinery or not implementing proper safety protocols, they could be held responsible for your injuries.

It's not always that clear-cut, though. I've seen a few cases where placing responsibility has become a bit of a dog-eat-dog situation. But don't let that put you off – it's exactly what I'm here for. Get what you deserve, no bones about it. I'm waiting for your call on 0800 047 3017.

There's no need. The big dogs can't push you around for claiming industrial injury compensation. There are laws protecting you here – the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Equality Act 2010. You can't be fired or treated differently as a result of your claim.

So, don't roll over because of fear or stigma. Do what's right for you and claim the industrial accident compensation you deserve.

I wish I could fetch you a figure straight away, but it's not that easy. The amount you may receive with a successful industrial accident claim depends on the specifics of your case. Compensation should take into account several factors, including:

• The type and severity of your injury
• Your recovery time
• Any past or future medical expenses and travel costs
• Lost earnings from time off work
• Lifestyle changes you've had to make following your injuries
• Ongoing care needs and any home adaptations required

Once my team and I have learned more about your case, we should be able to give you a better idea.
