Injured at work? You may be entitled to compensation — and support you can trust.

No one expects to be injured at work — but when it happens, it can be life-altering. From construction sites to offices, injuries in the workplace are more common than many realise. If you’ve suffered an injury during the course of your employment, and someone else was at fault (even in part), you may have a right to claim compensation.

​

At J.V. Geary Solicitors, we’re here to ensure that your rights are protected and that your recovery — physical, financial, and emotional — is fully supported.

​

Common Types of Workplace Accidents

We have represented clients across a wide range of industries and employment types. Common examples of workplace accident claims include:

• Falls from height on construction sites

• Injuries caused by faulty machinery or equipment

• Manual handling injuries (lifting, pulling, carrying)

• Slips, trips or falls in unsafe work environments

• Injuries caused by lack of training or safety gear

• Electric shocks or burns

• Injuries caused by dangerous substances or chemicals

• Repetitive strain or overuse injuries

• Accidents while driving for work purposes

 

Whether your role is office-based, manual, or somewhere in between, employers have a legal duty to ensure your safety. When that duty is breached, and you suffer an injury as a result, you may be entitled to bring a claim.

​​

What Can I Claim For?

A workplace injury claim can help compensate you for:

• Pain and suffering

• Loss of earnings, including future loss of income

• Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs

• Expenses for transport, specialist equipment or home adaptations

• Additional care or support during recovery

 

In some cases, if you’re unable to return to the same role, we can also seek compensation for reduced future earning capacity or the cost of retraining.
