Liability in case of industrial accident | Free Advice

Questioner

I recently had an industrial accident. Broken hip and cheekbone. This means I will be out of work for at least 2 months. Currently at home for 5 weeks. It involved a fall incident between the warehouse floor and the trailer floor. Is my employer liable, given that he is responsible for the safety of his staff at all times? What costs can I recover from my employer if they are held responsible for this accident?

Lawyer

First of all, I would like to wish you a very speedy recovery. It is not possible to give a general answer as to whether your employer is liable. That depends on the circumstances under which the accident occurred. In any case, it is not the case that an employer is always liable if an accident occurs in a company. If your employer is liable, you can recover all damages that you have suffered and will suffer. You can also claim the costs of legal assistance from your employer. That is why I can assist clients in these types of cases without them having to pay for it themselves. I specialize in personal injury cases. If you want, I would be happy to look at your case for free and without obligation. You can contact me directly for this.

Of course, first and foremost I wish you a speedy recovery. Whether your employer is liable depends on what exactly happened. I would like to point out that the chance that the employer is liable is quite high. Furthermore, you do not have to prove that your employer made a mistake. You 'only' have to prove that you suffered damage during your work for your employer. It is then up to your employer to prove that he did everything that could reasonably be expected of him to prevent you from suffering damage. Especially in such a legal discussion, where the case law on this point is of great importance, I advise you to seek legal assistance from an experienced personal injury lawyer. He knows better than anyone how to get your employer, or rather his insurer, to admit liability. If the employer is liable, the reasonable legal costs must also be reimbursed. You do not have to let the costs stop you. If you wish, I can assist you. You can contact me directly for this. Of course, an initial conversation is without obligation.
