The subject we cover today deals with lifting accidents and manual handling injuries. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, as amended in 2002 apply to a wide range of manual handling activities which can include lifting pulling pushing or pressing. The type of load that a person may be lifting very much varies from job to job. In the course of your employment you may have to lift inanimate objects such as boxes or produce but in other occupations the load could be a person or an animal. It is said that up to one third of all injuries in the workplace occur because of lifting heavy or awkward objects. Many people injure themselves due to a lack of training or awareness of the danger that presents itself when you lift or move a heavy object. However it is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that the employee is fully trained and made aware of the risks of handling objects in the workplace. Your employer must: Avoid the need for hazardous manual handling, so far as is reasonably practicable; Assess the risk of injury from any hazardous manual handling that can’t be avoided; and Reduce the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling, so far as is reasonably practicable In general terms a man should not lift above 25kg’s in weight and a woman 16kgs. These maximum lifts …

However, many road accidents can be prevented. The risk of making an accident happen decreases significantly when the various security measures are respected properly. The problem is that those are often under-estimated, or, even worse, they are ignored because of financial reasons. When the accident does happen, it’s almost certain that somebody made a mistake.

Work accidents mainly happen because of unsafe working environments, inadequate working conditions, inadequate equipment and poor or zero training for the workers. Those mantioned are all the employer’s responsibilities, obviously.

But making a work injury claim is not as easy as a car accident claim for example. That’s because, in a car accident, you can sue the other driver with no fear of repercussions, because you don’t know him. But suing your own employer could be daunting for you, right?

Naturally, you feel inclined to think that your relationship with your boss will surely go down the drain if you claim compensation. Sure, it can happen, but then again, it may not happen. It all depends on the character of your employer. Anyway, one fact remains: you have been injured and you have to pay for treatment. And later you will notice that after the work accident, you will have much nore expenses than the medical bills.

Most employers have insurance policies that cover these types of cases. They know that an accident can happen even if you try hard to avoid it, and that’s why they make sure that they are prepared if or when something goes wrong, because it’s better to be prepared now than sorry later. In fact, in the case of a relatively risky work enviroment you will never be able to assure 100% safety.

Still, the employers must do their best. It’s one thing for a person to suffer an accident that was completely unpredictable, and it’s another thing for a person to suffer an accident because the employers didn’t provide them with a good safety helmet.

When you decide to make a work accident claim you will first want to contact a lawyer who is going to help you maximize your claim. Sure, when people hear the word “lawyer” all sorts of weird scenarios may go through their minds, but actually there’s nothing to worry about. The case will probably not have to go to Court.

The attorney is your best friend in this scenario. He will practically do everything for you. A personal accident solicitor is indispensable in work accident injury claims. And the great thing about lawyers nowadays is that most of them work on a no win no fee basis.

What does no win no fee mean? Well, this term reffers to an agreement that says that your lawyer will only get paid for representing you if he wins the case. He has two fees: the basic fee and the success fee. The basic fee is a predetermined fee and it’s established taking into consideration the difficulty of the case. The success fee is like a bonus, and it is a percentage out of the success fee. In some cases it doesn’t even exist.

If you manage to hire an experienced solicitor, he will probably arrange that the other party pays his fees. Chances are however, if things go terribly wrong, that you will find yourself having to pay the opponent’s costs. For that reason you need to take out an “after the event” insurance before the actual legal procedures begin. So watch your step. The lawyer should explain everything in the preliminary interview. The work injury claim is a very crucial part if you want the fastest recovery possible when suffering injuries from a work accident.
