Common Types of Building Site Accidents

Construction sites are some of the most hazardous working environments in the UK. Despite strict health and safety regulations, accidents still happen—often due to negligence or poor safety standards. The most common incidents include:

• Falls from scaffolding or ladders
• Being struck by falling objects
• Machinery or vehicle accidents
• Electrocution or burns
• Collapses of structures or trenches
• Slips, trips and falls on uneven or unsafe surfaces

Any of these accidents can lead to serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, spinal damage, or long-term disability.

Your Legal Rights After a Building Site Injury

Employers, site managers, and contractors have a legal duty to ensure the safety of workers and visitors on site. This includes providing proper training, maintaining equipment, enforcing safety procedures, and carrying out risk assessments.

If this duty of care is breached and you are injured as a result, you may be entitled to claim compensation. It’s important to act promptly, as most personal injury claims in England and Wales must be made within three years of the date of the accident.

The Role of Building Site Accident Solicitors

Making a claim can be complex, especially when multiple parties may be involved. That’s where experienced solicitors come in.

At Grieves Solicitors, we will:

• Investigate your case thoroughly: This includes reviewing site reports, gathering CCTV footage, speaking to witnesses, and consulting with health and safety experts.
• Prove liability: We will demonstrate how your injury was caused by negligence or failure to follow safety protocols.
• Calculate your full compensation: This includes not just your immediate medical costs, but also lost earnings, future rehabilitation, and the emotional impact of your injury.
• Negotiate with insurers: We’ll handle all communications with the other side to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
• Support you throughout: We provide clear, compassionate guidance from the moment you contact us.

We believe everyone should have access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we offer most of our building site accident claims on a No Win, No Fee basis.

This means you won’t pay any legal fees upfront. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t pay us a penny. If we win your case, our fees are usually covered as part of your compensation settlement.
