Accidents at Work (Trades Unions)
Digby Brown is experienced in dealing with industrial accident claims. We have a long-standing relationship with Scottish trades unions . Many of the leading cases on European Health and Safety Regulations have been fought by Digby Brown. We have invested heavily in training to keep abreast of the relevant legislation and case law and consequently have been at the forefront of developing the law for the benefit of accident victims. Digby Brown’s Union and Employment Departments have driven the development of our expertise in workplace Health and Safety.
In an employment context, your employer, and others, have a duty to provide you with a safe place of work, safe equipment, a safe system of working and adequate training and instruction. If you are injured because your employer has failed in these duties, you may be able to prove negligence and bring a claim for compensation. In addition, statutory provisions play an increasing role in the regulation of the workplace.
If you have been hurt or have developed an illness (see industrial disease) because of your working environment due in someway to negligence or breach of statutory duty by your employer you may have a claim.
