Machinery Accident
The Problem: Devastating Injuries from Machinery
Accidents involving heavy machinery, production lines, saws, or industrial presses often result in the most devastating injuries, including crush injuries, degloving, or amputation. These accidents are almost always a result of inadequate safety guards, faulty maintenance, or insufficient training.
At Dorians Solicitors, we have the resources to take on large manufacturers and industrial firms to secure substantial compensation.

Employer's Duty: Safety Guards And Training
Employers must adhere strictly to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). Successful claims are typically due to:
Missing, inadequate, or deactivated safety guards on dangerous moving parts.
Failure to implement 'Lock Out, Tag Out' procedures for maintenance and repair.
Providing insufficient training on emergency stops and safe operating procedures.
Equipment breakdown due to poor maintenance or inspection.

We fight vigorously against the insurer to recover the maximum compensation for your life-altering injury. We offer this specialist service on a No Win No Fee basis.
Crucial Evidence: Protect Your Claim
The evidence you gather immediately following an accident is vital to proving your case. We strongly advise you to:
Report the Incident:
Ensure the accident is immediately logged in the workplace Accident Book and reported under RIDDOR.
Do Not Tamper:
Ensure the machine is taken out of service and not operated or altered before inspection.
Photograph the Defect:
Take clear pictures of the safety guard, the emergency stop, or the area where the injury occurred.
Identify the Machine:
Note the make, model, and serial number of the equipment involved.
