Construction injuries we handle
Building site accidents cause some of the most serious workplace injuries. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled claims like yours before, and we'll fight for every penny you're owed.
Arms, legs, ribs, pelvis, falls from height and falling objects cause serious fractures. These injuries mean months off work and lengthy rehabilitation.
Falls, manual handling, and heavy impacts cause spinal damage that can change your life forever. Back injuries are the most common on building sites.
Falling objects and falls from height cause serious head trauma. Even with a hard hat, the impact can affect your memory, concentration, and ability to work.
Damaged cables and faulty equipment cause serious electric shocks and burns. These injuries can be life-threatening and leave permanent scarring.
Dust, asbestos, and chemical exposure cause long-term respiratory problems. Some conditions don't appear until years after exposure on site.
Anxiety, PTSD, and fear of returning to work. The mental impact of a serious building site accident is a real injury that deserves real compensation.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a construction accident claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
If your construction accident was caused by someone else's negligence, your employer cutting corners on safety, faulty equipment, or inadequate training, you absolutely deserve compensation. Building site workers face dangers that most people never experience.
We see construction workers struggling with lost wages, mounting medical bills, and the stress of not knowing when they can return to work. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Yes, your employer has a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to provide proper PPE and safety equipment. If they failed to provide hard hats, harnesses, high-vis gear, or other necessary protection and you were injured as a result, you have strong grounds for a construction accident claim.
Compensation depends on your injuries and circumstances. Minor back injuries typically range from £2,300-£11,730, while serious spinal injuries can be worth significantly more. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical bills, and travel costs on top of injury compensation.
Yes, you can still claim even if you made a mistake. The law adjusts your payout based on how much blame falls on you versus everyone else, so if you were 30% at fault, you'd still receive 70% of the compensation. Your employer still had a duty to keep you safe.
Your employment status makes no difference to your construction site claim. Self-employed builders, contractors, and tradespeople have the same legal rights as employees. The site operator still owes you a duty of care, regardless of your contract type.
You have three years from the date of your accident to start your claim. If your injury developed over time, such as lung damage from dust exposure, the clock starts from when you first realised the problem. Don't wait. Evidence gets lost and witnesses forget details.
Construction remains one of the most dangerous industries in the UK. In 2023/24, 51 construction workers died from workplace injuries and the HSE estimates 47,000 non-fatal injuries occurred. Over half of fatal accidents involved falls from height.
These numbers show why it's vital to claim what you're owed if you've been injured on a building site through someone else's negligence.
