Defective Work Equipment Compensation Claims
Injuries at work happen every day; most are minor and without blame. However, there are situations where your employer has been at fault for your accident. One of those situations is when the tools you are working with are not fit for purpose.
Defective work equipment compensation claims are borne out of injuries sustained through working with poor quality or faulty machinery and equipment.
Defective equipment accidents at work can result in serious injuries such as severed limbs, deep cuts, and even head injuries. The long-term effects of such accidents can have a lasting impact on someone’s life.
If your accident occurred because of the actions or negligence of your employer, we may be able to help. A personal injury claim must be made within a strict 3-year time limit. We recommend that you contact us as soon as possible. Call today on 0333 358 3034 or contact us online to discuss your potential claim

Start your claimThe law and workplace accidents
The Health and Safety Executive is a body of the law which presides over employers to make sure they are keeping workplaces safe. Within the law are two separate acts which relate to defective work equipment claims. They are; the Provision of Work Equipment 1998 and Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998.
What should employers do to keep workplaces safe?
- Make sure equipment is safe and used as intended
- Regularly maintain and repair all parts of machinery and tools
- Ensure users of certain equipment have passed the required training
- Insist on protective clothing like goggles or gloves being worn for certain pieces of equipment
- They should erect necessary warning signs which are clearly displayed and positioned openly alongside potentially dangerous machinery
- Regular workplace equipment inspections should take place in areas where corrosion or wearing can occur more readily
- Remove faulty machinery as soon as possible
- Carry out risk assessments on a regular basis
