Year after year, the construction industry sees the most workplace accidents in the UK. A building site is inherently hazardous, with employees using powerful equipment and tools, working at a height and lifting heavy materials. There’s also a whole array of potential slip and trip hazards, including pipework, loose cabling and building materials. Winter introduces cold, icy, wet conditions and reduced daylight hours into the mix, increasing the potential for workplace accidents.
At this time of year, construction sites face heightened challenges in maintaining safety standards. To ensure everyone goes home safe and sound, construction companies must be well-versed in the relevant winter safety regulations and implement them effectively. Thorneycroft can play a crucial role in ensuring compliance and protecting workers’ rights.
A safe workplace in any industry should be a priority. However, in industries that utilise heavy machinery and equipment, ensuring employee safety is of paramount importance. As personal injury solicitors, we have seen firsthand the impact that workplace accidents and injuries can have.
The UK construction industry has seen steady growth over the years and is now governed by extensive health and safety regulations and legislation. However, despite the most comprehensive safety measures in place, construction is still one of the most dangerous industries to work in. With powerful tools and equipment, site vehicles, and work taking place at a height on high ladders, roofs and scaffolding, it’s no surprise that in recent years construction has accounted for 59,000 non-fatal injuries in workers annually.
If you’ve been in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation. But with so many solicitors out there, how do you choose the right one to represent you? Keep reading to find out 5 reasons why you should choose Thorneycroft Solicitors for your personal injury compensation claim.

If you have suffered a personal injury and you are in the process of making a claim, it may be necessary to bring in an expert witness to help validate certain aspects of the claim. This blog will outline everything you need to know about the role of an expert witness and how they could help your personal injury claim.
It is a common misconception that if you are self-employed and working in construction, you do not have the same legal rights as a permanent employee if you are injured whilst on site. However, this is not the case, even if you are self-employed you will still be able to make a personal injury claim under most circumstances. Here at Thorneycroft Solicitors, we have dealt with many successful personal injury claims for self-employed construction workers.
A company or business owner that occupies a property has a duty of care to the people that visit it. The Occupiers Liability Act 1957 provides rules for occupiers of property and places a duty of care to ensure that all lawful visitors to their premises are safe. Occupier’s liability is essentially when an owner of private land or property such as a business, shop, restaurant or sports centre, is liable for any injuries caused to somebody whilst on their property.
Vulnerable road users are defined by road safety organisations as those that have less crash protection than occupants of motor vehicles, that therefore have a higher risk of being injured or killed in a road traffic accident.
