Care-worker and manual-handling claims
Care staff in Platt Bridge face real risks every day. Moving and assisting residents, repeated lifting and awkward postures make manual-handling injuries common. These injuries may not always be visible at first but can lead to long-term back, shoulder and neck problems.
Typical steps we take in these claims:
- Gather training records, risk assessments and care plans to show whether safe systems and equipment were provided.
- Obtain witness statements from colleagues and any incident-record forms used by the employer.
- Instruct occupational therapists and medical specialists to assess current function and future needs.
- Calculate past and future lost earnings, rehabilitation costs and any home adaptations required.
We pursue compensation that reflects the true cost of injury: pain, reduced earning capacity and the practical changes you may need at home or work.
Slip hazards in shop and storage locations
Slip and trip incidents in shops, storerooms and delivery areas are among the most frequent causes of workplace claims in Platt Bridge. Wet or cluttered aisles, unmarked steps and poor housekeeping can all lead to serious injury.
How we build slip and trip claims:
- Secure photographic evidence and witness accounts as soon as possible.
- Obtain cleaning logs, delivery records and accident-book entries that show how the hazard was managed.
- Review CCTV where available and capture supplier or contractor details if relevant.
- Work with medical professionals to demonstrate the extent of injury and recovery prognosis.
Even a single moment of negligence — a missed spill or an unsecured pallet — can create liability that insurers must address. We press for fair workplace injury compensation that covers medical bills, lost pay and long-term effects.
