Lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Claims

How our lack of PPE specialists can help

Employers owe a duty of care, to provide their employees with suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect them from being injured in the workplace.

If your employer hasn’t provided you with adequate PPE in order to safely carry out your role, we can help.

lack of PPE frequently asked questions

What is PPE? toggle accordion

Personal protective equipment (PPE) comes in the form of hard hats, steel toe cap boots, protective eye wear, such as goggles, and gloves and ear defenders.

Does my employer have a Duty of Care with PPE? toggle accordion

If your employer has failed to provide you with appropriate protective work equipment to enable you to do your job, and you have suffered an injury as a result, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Will I be treated differently at work if I claim against my employer? toggle accordion

This shouldn’t be the case, but we do understand this can happen. We have a team of experienced employment lawyers who may be able to help if you face unfair treatment following your personal injury claim.

What is the time limit to make a claim for lack of PPE? toggle accordion

You generally have three years from the date of accident to bring a claim, although there are a few exceptions, which our legal team will be able to advise you on.

No win, no fee personal injury legal advice

We are usually able to offer no win, no fee agreements (also known as Conditional Fee Arrangements (CFAs)) to our personal injury clients. In ‘no win, no fee’ agreements there are no up-front costs for you and if you don’t win, we don’t get paid.

What other funding options do you offer?

What about court fees and expert’s fees? What happens if I lose my case?

In most cases we will arrange ‘After the Event’ (ATE) insurance on your behalf to cover expenses such as court and expert fees and any legal costs awarded against you should you lose your claim. However, if you have a ‘Before the Event’ (BTE) insurance policy included in your home, car or credit card insurance then we will look to use that insurance to cover the legal costs and an ATE policy should not then be needed

What happens when I win my case – who pays the costs?

When we win a claim, some of your legal costs are likely to be paid by those responsible for your injury or illness, and this liability is often covered by an insurance company. Our agreement with you will usually state that a percentage of your compensation, which we will agree with you at the outset, will be paid to us to contribute to the work that we have done for you. We will also charge a success fee for taking the risk of not being paid if the claim isn’t successful. For certainty we will give a guaranteed cap as to the percentage of compensation that we will charge.

Financial support for serious injury patients

Where appropriate, we will seek to secure early payments to help people where they are suffering financial hardship, to fund rehabilitation and to assist with employment issues.

We are also able to arrange trusts to ensure that benefits are protected and offer assistance with any court of protection issues, for those who are unable to manage their own financial affairs following their accident.

Disclaimer

In general you have three years from the date of injury or reasonable knowledge of injury to bring a compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.

It is important to speak to a legal team as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
