CAN I CLAIM FOR A FACTORY ACCIDENT?
If you have been severely injured in a factory accident, it is important to be aware of your rights and the ability to file a factory accident compensation claim. Depending on the specific circumstances of the incident, you may be able to make a claim for compensation if negligence or fault has been established.
The first step would be to get in touch with an experienced solicitor who is familiar with factory accident claims. They can help investigate and determine whether or not there are grounds for a successful claim against another party, such as an employer or manufacturer.
In some cases, workers’ compensation may also be applicable depending on how and when the accident occurred – so it is important that these details are taken into consideration before proceeding with any course of legal action.
It is recommended that all evidence relating to the incident should be gathered in order to strengthen any potential case being made.
WHO AM I CLAIMING AGAINST?
If you have been involved in an accident in a factory and are looking to make a claim, it is important that you know who you should be claiming against. In Scotland, the process of filing a claim can be complex and it is essential that you understand who your legal opponents are.
In Scotland, the main parties when making a claim following an accident in a factory will typically be either the employer or their insurance company. The majority of accidents that occur within factories will fall under Employers’ Liability legislation which makes employers responsible for any workplace incidents caused by them not taking reasonable care of their employees’ health and safety.
