Commercial Kitchen Accident Compensation Claims

What are some common Kitchen Accident Injuries?

Commercial kitchens are busy places and when you add in hazards such as boiling pans, deep fat fryers, hot ovens, sharp knives and spilt liquids the dangers are clear.

Common injuries frequently sustained in this environment include:

• Burns and scalds
• Fractures and broken bones
• Cuts and lacerations
• Back injuries
• Amputations

Your kitchen-related injury is likely to be severe, potentially requiring surgery or extensive rehabilitation and subsequently impacting on your life and the ability to do your job.

Any compensation you receive will take the long-term effects of the accident into consideration to protect you financially and to cover all the medical treatment that you will need to aid your recovery.

Why make a Kitchen Accident Compensation Claim?

If you have suffered an injury while working in a kitchen within the past three years and the accident wasn’t your fault, then you may be able to make a personal injury claim. The amount that you will be awarded will be dependent on the extent of your injuries and whether effects are temporary or permanent.

PSR Solicitors has helped hundreds of kitchen staff to pursue financial recompense for accidents that have occurred at work and we can help you too. The compensation you receive is there to:

• Acknowledge the pain and psychological harm that has been done.
• Cover the costs of ongoing medical care and support.
• Fund any specialist equipment to support your recovery and independence.
• Cover any lost earnings due to your injury.
• Cover any additional costs resulting from your accident such as travel expenses to medical appointments.

We can offer the full range of legal services relating to your claim and securing the maximum amount of compensation available to you is our absolute and number one priority.

Your legal rights at work

Employers have a duty of care to all their employees and are legally bound by the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 to minimise any risks and protect everyone in the workplace.

The law is clear that your employer must provide a safe working environment, protective clothing, full risk assessments and frequent inspections of equipment for defects or damage.

If your employer has been found to be negligent in any way and you are injured as a result then you may be entitled to make a claim against them. Your case will be dealt with by your employer’s insurers and most of the personal injury claims we work on are settled out of court, which minimises the stress of pursuing legal action. It is against the law for your employer to enter into any sort of dispute with you as a result of your compensation claim.

We can provide you with advice on any aspect of employment law and support you throughout your claim to remove any worry or concern you may have about the security of your job in the future.
