Offices are generally considered safe workplaces, however accidents can still happen when employers cut corners and fail to adhere to health and safety regulations.

The most common types of injuries caused through accidents in an office include:

• Slips, trips and falls
• Electric shocks
• Manual handling injuries – particularly neck, back and hand injuries.
• Repetitive Strain injury (RSI)

In order to prove that you have a valid claim your solicitor will need to be able to successfully:

• Prove that your employer failed to protect you from injury or illness in the workplace.
• Or prove that your repetitive strain injury was caused by negligent working practices.
