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.

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.

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.
