What Is a Workplace Fall Claim?

A workplace fall claim is a legal process where employees can seek compensation for injuries caused by unsafe working conditions. Employers in Kilkenny have a duty of care to provide a safe environment.

If hazards, such as wet floors, damaged flooring, poor housekeeping, or inadequate safety measures, caused your fall, you may be owed compensation for lost wages, medical treatment, and long-term recovery costs.

Common Causes of Falls at Work

  • Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
  • Uneven or damaged flooring in warehouses, offices, or factories
  • Poorly maintained staircases or ladders
  • Cluttered walkways or obstructed paths
  • Inadequate safety training or lack of protective equipment
  • Poor lighting in work areas or corridors

Even if you didn’t report the injury right away, we can still help. Contact us for advice today.

The legal term ‘No Win No Fee’ is used to describe how solicitors take on a case where they pay the costs of the litigation.

Solicitors in who operate on this basis pay all legal costs associated with the personal injury case.

In most cases, clients would not be in a position to fund the cost of litigation, so it is usual for a personal injury and medical negligence firm to operate on a 'No Win No Fee' basis.

It should be noted that there is no prohibition on solicitors in undertaking work on a no win no fee basis, and solicitors are perfectly entitled to offer their services on a no win no fee basis.
