Falls from height at work — England & Wales

Fell from height at work — and it wasn’t your fault? Your claim. Our fight.

Ladders, scaffolding, roofs, platforms or loading bays — if you’ve been injured in a fall from height at work in the last three years, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and the losses they’ve caused. No Win No Fee.

  • No upfront cost
  • Your employer’s insurer pays
  • SRA-regulated solicitors

Three quick checks

Most claims need all three — worth checking before you fill anything in.

1

It happened in the last three years

Most claims must be started within three years of the accident, or of when you first knew your injury was linked to your work.

2

Someone failed to keep you safe at height

No edge protection or guardrails, a faulty ladder or scaffold, or work at height that wasn’t properly planned.

3

You needed medical attention

From a first aider, GP, walk-in centre or hospital — at the time or since.

Sounds like me — start my check

How your claim works

Four stages, from first call to compensation.

  1. 01

    Free eligibility check

    A specialist talks through what happened and tells you honestly whether you have a claim.

  2. 02

    Medical assessment

    We arrange an independent medical expert to record your injuries and how they affect you.

  3. 03

    Claim pursued

    We deal with your employer’s insurer — and any contractor or equipment owner involved — for you, including lost earnings, care and rehabilitation costs.

  4. 04

    No Win No Fee

    You only pay if you win. Our fee is then an agreed percentage of your compensation, capped and set out in writing before you sign — so nothing comes out of your own pocket.

What you can claim for

Any of these, caused by someone else’s negligence, could form the basis of a claim.

  • Ladders & stepladders
  • Scaffolding
  • Roofs & fragile surfaces
  • Mezzanines & raised platforms
  • Cherry pickers, scissor lifts & MEWPs
  • Loading bay edges

Common questions

Will it cost me anything if my claim doesn't succeed?

No. We act under a genuine no win, no fee agreement, which means you don't pay our fees if your claim is unsuccessful.

I'm worried about my job. What happens with my employer?

Employers are required by law to hold insurance for exactly this situation, so compensation comes from their insurer. We'll explain your rights before you decide anything.

How long do I have to make a claim?

Usually three years from the date of the accident, or from when you first knew your injury or illness was linked to work. The sooner you start, the easier evidence is to gather.

What if it was partly my fault?

You may still be able to claim. Compensation can be reduced to reflect your share of the blame, but you don't lose the right to claim altogether.

It wasn't written in the accident book. Can I still claim?

Often, yes. Medical records, witnesses, photos and messages can all help show what happened. Tell us what you have and we'll advise.

What can I claim for?

Compensation for the injury itself and its effect on your life, plus financial losses such as lost earnings, travel and treatment costs.
