Heavy Equipment Accident Claims
If you have been injured at work due to faulty or unsafe equipment, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Defective or poorly maintained tools and machinery can pose serious risks, particularly where proper safeguards are not in place.
Employers have a legal duty of care to ensure that all equipment is safe to use and that appropriate workplace safety measures are followed at all times. Where this responsibility is not met, and someone is injured as a result of defective equipment, it may be possible to bring forward a claim against your employer.
At Step Legal Solicitors, we specialise in taking on these types of claims and boast years of experience in successfully taking on companies and achieving compensation clients rightfully deserve. We handle matters with a clear and practical approach, ensuring that every aspect of the claim is properly considered.

How We Support Your Claim
Suffering an injury caused by dangerous equipment can have a serious impact, both physically, psychologically and financially. Whether the issue arose from a lack of proper maintenance of equipment, failures in safety procedures, or inadequate safety checks, it is important that the circumstances are carefully reviewed.
In many cases, accidents occur due to missing safety guards, lack of PPE (personal protective equipment), or inadequate employee training, all of which can form the basis of a workplace injury claim.
Those looking to pursue an accident at work claim will often require guidance from experienced personal injury solicitors, particularly where liability is disputed or evidence needs to be established.
When You May Be Eligible to Claim
If you were injured at work in the last 3 years, you may be able to pursue a claim, even if you are unsure who was at fault.
Situations involving defective equipment often raise questions such as whether there is entitlement to compensation for defective equipment injury, or how much compensation will I receive for defective equipment injury? These are assessed based on the severity of the injury, all the losses you’ve incurred and the wider impact on your life. We will always consider every possible aspect of compensation you can recover, ensuring you receive every penny you deserve.
If you decide to take us on, we offer a no win no fee arrangement. This means that clients carry no financial risk when bringing a defective equipment claim and that you will not face any barriers to justice.
What Compensation May Cover
A successful claim may allow you to recover personal injury compensation for the losses you have suffered.
This can include physical injury, financial losses, impacts on your amenity and any ongoing effects on your ability to work, among others. A financial compensation claim will take into account loss of earnings, medical costs and any long-term impact caused by the accident.
These types of cases are commonly pursued as workers compensation claims, particularly where employer responsibilities have not been met.

Claims involving defective equipment will be handled by our specialist accident at work solicitors, who have the expertise and experience to deal with even the most complex of personal injury claims.
For many individuals, access to no-win, no-fee solicitors provides reassurance that they can pursue a claim without upfront legal costs.If you have suffered an injury due to unsafe or defective equipment, seeking early advice from one our solicitors can help you understand your options and take your next step with complete confidence.
