My son had an accident at work when a chemical solution splashed in his eye, even though he was wearing protective goggles. It’s possible he will lose the sight in the eye. Currently his employers have agreed to pay his wages but haven’t accepted liability. What’s our best course of action to ensure he receives any compensation due?
See a solicitor specialising in personal injury cases as soon as possible. Make sure that he or she is a member of the Law Society’s panel of personal injury lawyers. Your son will probably be offered a “no win, no fee” arrangement. It’s possible the Health and Safety Executive will already have been called in to investigate the accident. If the firm is found to have been negligent in any way your son may be entitled to a considerable sum in compensation.
