Can I be sacked for making an accident at work claim?

If your employers required you to wear specific footwear they should have supplied that footwear and emade you wear it on site, by not doing so they were negligent.

However the true cause of the accident appears to be the condition of the site, that is also your employer's responsibilty.

Overall we would recommend that you make a claim, we would be willing to deal with any claim on a "no win, no fee" basis.

Stood on nail working on a building site. Wasn't wearing safety boots. Can I still make a claim?

I've dealt with a similar matter in the past and struggled to get a barrister on board.

The case will ultimately hinge on two things:-

1. Whose land the public footpath was crossing so it can be determined who was responsible for it's upkeep and whether they have been regularly maintaining the stile.

2. Whether it was obvious that the stile posts were rotten without stepping on it.

If it wasn't obvious that the stile posts were rotten from looking at them, the person or organisation responsible for the upkeep of the stile will have a good chance of defending the claim as they would not be expected to spot defects that were either hidden or disguised.

If you would like further information and a quick confidential chat please do not hesitate to contact me on 01492 588200.
