5 star client reviewsIt is your employer’s responsibility to ensure that all machinery and equipment provided at work is safe for use. If you suffer an accident because of faulty or defective machinery or equipment, you may have a good case for claiming compensation from your employer. For example, your employer may not have had any system in place for maintaining the machinery and this failure caused you to suffer injury.
Your employer has a duty to ensure that workers using machinery or equipment are adequately trained to use it properly and safely and understands any risks in using it. Your employer is also liable for any acts or omissions which another employee of theirs does or doesn’t do which causes you injury. For example, if your work colleague misused equipment because they had not been properly shown how to use it and it subsequently caused you injury.
Most of these kinds of accidents take place in:
Dangerous equipment can crush, trap and cut body parts which come into contact with them. Some of the most common injuries occurring in this way are:
These injuries often leave employees with permanent symptoms such as constant or frequent pain/numbness, scarring and psychological distress. If you have been injured by dangerous or faulty machinery or equipment, we can help you make a successful claim with our aim always being to act in your best interests and maximise the compensation you are entitled to recover.

They are all very professional but also friendly and happy to help. I was always able to get in touch and any queries dealt with quickly. I would recommend Aequitas Legal to my friends and family.

My case went on for just over 2 years. The team were very helpful and Matthew made sure i was kept up to date and always asked for my opinion. There was no pressure and he offered his own opinion to help along the way. Thank you very much aequitas legal!
My experience with Aequitas Legal was excellent overall. The process was made very simple and took up very little time on my part, particularly with use of the 'InCase' App and emails. My caseworker, Jane Hargreaves, was very approachable and friendly, and responded to queries promptly. I was expecting my case to take the best part of 6 months to resolve but was settled with my cheque in the post within just a few months. Very impressed at such a stress free and innovative experience and would recommend to others.

Aequitas Legal, a very professional company from Katie who helped with my initial inquiry to Suzanne, the solicitor, who handled my case. I was kept updated regularly on all aspects and developments and given sound advice regarding my claim. I particularly liked using the App on my mobile which was full of useful information. Great customer service with prompt responses to questions and queries, I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Thank you for a quick and easy settlement.

I represented a Claimant who was injured at work when a loaded table with heavy machinery, fixed to the wall became loose and collapsed on the Claimant’s legs. He sustained injury to his back and neck along with psychological injury.

When placing a regrinded drill into the cabinet in his workplace, the draws collapsed and the cabinet fell over onto him.
