Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Private security workers often operate in difficult and dangerous circumstances and environments around the world. However, employers in this field still have a responsibility to provide the highest standards of protection for their employees and minimise the risk of accident or injury. When this protection is missing or flawed, the results of a personal injury can be devastating.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your private security injury claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to injuries or bereavement owing to private security work, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Private Security Employment Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
International private security is a highly dangerous job, very often carried out in a hostile environment. Working for private security companies often carries high level of risk. However, employers still have a duty of care to their employees to minimise the risk of accidents and injury to those working in the private security industry.
Typical serious injury claims of private security company employees include:
- Road traffic accidents
- Vehicle and equipment failure
- Weapons and explosives accidents
- Inadequate provision of personal protection equipment.
Investigating any kind of private security-related accident that occurred abroad can be very complex. When you’ve been injured in the course of your duties, choosing the right solicitor for your private security injury claim is vital.
At Irwin Mitchell, we fully understand the unique procedures involved in an operational theatre like Iraq or Afghanistan - and we’re one of the very few firms in the UK dealing with injury claims of this nature.
Our specialist lawyers are experienced in representing ex-members of the armed forces who have been injured while working as bodyguards for private security companies.
We have the expert knowledge to ensure that you get the right legal advice, not only to help you claim for injury compensation, but to access the best possible support for your rehabilitation.
