TYPES OF WAREHOUSE INJURIES

Examples of some of the types of accidents that might occur in a warehouse include:

• Slips, trips and falls
• Accidents caused by falling objects, e.g. from high shelves or pallets
• Incidents involving forklift trucks
• Incidents involving working in very hot or cold temperatures
• Exposure to harmful substances and chemicals
• Manual handling accidents
• Falls from ladders

Some of the common warehouse injuries that lead to personal injury claims include:

• Back injuries – commonly sustained in falls or manual handling accidents or falls.
• Crush injuries – caused by falling objects, racking or forklift trucks.
• Chemical burns – these can occur if employers do not provide their staff with the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and training.

How does the claims process work?

Once we have carried out an initial consultation, we will take care of the paperwork required.   A letter will be sent to you following an initial consultation with your solicitor. This will be a summary of the discussion you had and will confirm that they are happy to take on your case. It will highlight who will be your contact and estimate how long the process will take. The letter will also detail how you will be funding the case and an estimate of costs. If you need to provide any further information this will be included.   A letter will be sent to the defendant, providing details of the accident. The defendant has a fixed period to reply. In their reply, they must state if they are denying or accepting liability. If they do accept liability, your solicitor will endeavour to settle the case out of court.
