Accidents At Work Claims  

Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

All jobs, from manual to office work, hold risks for the health and safety of an employee.  For some, the risks of a potential accident at work are obvious and for some, less so.

As a worker, you have a right to expect your employer to provide full protection against any risks arising from your job that could result in an accident and serious personal injury. If you employer does not meet these obligations, the likelihood of an individual suffering an accident at work is increased.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for you whether your injury is minor or major. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to an accident at 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.

£1.2m Spinal Injury Case

£1.2m Spinal Injury Case

Our specialist spinal injury team in Sheffield assisted a former warehouse operative in securing a £1.2m damages settlement following an accident in 2005 at his place of work, which lead to him suffering incomplete paraplegia. Barry, 60, was left with severely reduced mobility when a lift-truck which he was operating at his place of work in Boston plummeted to the ground, fracturing his spine.

The Sheffield team secured an early admission of liability from his employer and a substantial interim payment enabling Barry and his wife to move into a fully adapted new bungalow within 18 months of the accident.

Neil Whiteley, who represented Barry along with his colleague Rachael Aram, stated "by bringing in our client liaison team at an early stage, and later a specialist spinal injury case manager, we were able to assist Barry and his wife through what was undoubtedly a very difficult time, just when they were beginning to look forward towards their retirement. Both have done fantastically well, and it has been a pleasure to work for Barry to achieve this result".
