Employer liability claims refer to legal actions taken against an employer by an employee or a third party due to alleged harm caused by the employer’s actions or omissions. These claims can arise from various sources such as:
It is important for employers to have proper policies and procedures in place to minimize the risk of liability claims. This may include maintaining a safe work environment, providing proper training, and having a clear process for reporting and resolving workplace issues.
Employer liability claims arise when an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of their job, and their employer is found to be responsible for the injury or illness. Employers have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment for their employees, and if they fail to do so, they can be held liable for any harm caused.
At Masons Law LLP, we have experience handling employer liability claims, and can help you navigate the legal process and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Types of Employer Liability Claims:
There are many types of employer liability claims, including:
Workplace Accidents: Workplace accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, including slip, trip, fall, and machinery accidents.
Repetitive Strain Injuries: Repetitive strain injuries can develop over time, and are caused by performing the same actions repeatedly. Examples include carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.
Occupational Diseases: Occupational diseases are illnesses caused by exposure to harmful substances or conditions in the workplace. Examples include asbestos-related diseases and black lung disease.
Stress and Mental Health: Employers have a duty to provide a safe working environment, which includes protecting employees’ mental health. If an employer fails to do so and an employee suffers from stress or other mental health issues as a result, they may be able to pursue a claim.
