In October 2022, Mr Jalale, a dedicated carer working in a complex needs care home, experienced a traumatic incident that left him with not only physical injuries but also lasting psychological symptoms.

Workplace injuries can have a huge impact on every aspect of a person’s life, from their ability to work, to their confidence and independence. In this case, our client suffered a deep cut to her wrist after being asked to carry out a task outside her usual role at a manufacturing site.

When we visit a supermarket, we expect it to be a safe place, somewhere we can shop without worrying about being injured. But what happens when a supermarket or shop fails to keep its premises safe, and someone is injured as a result?

Workplace safety is a shared responsibility, especially when employees work on third-party premises. A recent case we handled demonstrates how failures on the part of both an employer and an occupier contributed to a worker suffering injury.

When walking on a public footpath, most of us assume it is safe to use. But sometimes a small oversight can cause serious harm. For our client, that’s exactly what happened.

School is meant to be a safe place, a place where children learn, laugh, and grow together. But sometimes, what starts as a “bit of fun” on the playground can quickly turn into something serious.

Cutting corners in health and safety matters can only lead to one outcome – as illustrated in this case.

For many parents, one of the hardest moments is leaving their child in someone else’s care – whether at a nursery, school or activity club. We trust that professionals will provide a safe environment, but sadly, accidents can and do happen.
