You are owed a duty of care

Whether the incident occurred as a result of carelessness, recklessness or some other form of negligence, employers and site managers owe all workers and visitors a duty of care. Our solicitors have helped clients from all over Dundee and the Firth of Tay claim for a range of incidents, including those related to the following:

  • Failure to provide Personal Protective Equipment
  • Faulty equipment
  • Inadequate training
  • Unsafe working environment

Of course, employers cannot prevent every accident. However, they do have a duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent accidents from occurring. This includes meeting legal and statutory obligations, providing risk assessments, and implementing a range of protections and preventative measures.

The most common work accidents

According to the Health and Safety Executive, Scotland has some of the UK's highest rates for serious and fatal work accident injuries, with rates of minor and moderate injuries mostly comparable to the national average.

Some of the most common Dundee work accidents include the following:

  • Slips, trips and falls
  • Construction site accidents
  • Falls from height – e.g. those involving scaffolds or ladders
  • Accidents involving machinery
  • Exposure to dangerous chemicals and other substances
  • Manual handling injuries
  • Forklift accidents
  • Accidents involving inadequately maintained machinery

However, it is worth remembering that there are also a significant number of compensable accidents that occur outside of the most hazardous settings. For example, although environments like schools, hospitals and offices are not thought of as dangerous places, accidents can and do occur. Whatever your workplace or nature of your accident, if another party's negligence was a factor, you may well be entitled to compensation.

Great guidance and support

Robert and his team have provided really great support and guidance over what has been an almost 5 year process. Having never been in this situation before I wouldn’t have known what to expect or what was reasonable but I have had support each step of the way. Should I have to go through something like this again I would hope to be allocated the same team. Thank you!

Professional service

Michael handled what was a very complex and long drawn out case with the utmost care and professionalism. He worked tirelessly to negotiate a sizeable settlement and ensured I was kept up-to-date throughout the process plus explained all the legal jargon clearly. Michael was always very polite and kind whenever we spoke and answered all questions and queries with such care. Michael truly is an asset to Thompsons and I would thoroughly recommend him to others.

Robert Cranston and Team

Having been appointed Robert Cranston and Thompsons Solicitors through my union (Unite), I was pleased initially by his great manners and positive attitude to what I though would be a mundane and relatively small job for him. I really wasn't expecting much from the whole experience. I couldn't have been more wrong. Robert gave me sound advice on what to expect, what time frame could be involved, and how many outside agencies could eventually take part in my case. He advised me to go ahead with legal action when I was really unsure as to whether there was any point in pursuing anything. Robert and his team involved a doctor, an employment expert, a pensions expert and even a psychiatrist to work on my case. This all took time and between Robert, and his team, I was kept fully informed and reassured about how things were going. My case was eventually settled at the pre trial meeting and I was given very sound advice as everything progressed towards that point. Ken and then Leo came on side to assist and provide advice with my case in the later stages, and along with Kath, Lyn and Yvonne, all working in the background, everything ended well into the evening at pre trial. Robert was always there for me. Questions were dealt with as I thought of them and I was reassured every time we spoke that I was being very well advised and cared for. Now that it's over, and I have time to reflect, I cannot fault Thompsons Solicitors in any way. I've been looked after since day one. My outcome, having been left with an amputation after an incident at work on another site, has far exceeded anything I could have initially imagined. It will help me and my wife to get on with our lives, which will of course never be as they previously were. I can wholly recommend Thompsons to look after anyone in need of a solicitor. Thank you Robert and the whole team ( Leo, Ken, Kath, Lyn and Yvonne). You've changed our future in the most positive way. With kind regards and best wishes.. Alan

Excellent Result

First of all I would like to thank Thompson’s for the sterling job they did for compensation in the fight against FDC after an accident at work in 2019. Especially Robert Cranston who kept me updated at every step. He also explained legal format that was beyond my comprehension. Robert succeeded in securing a comfortable financial gain which I am very grateful for.
