Why come to us:
When a work place injury or death occurs, the investigating authority, whether it be the HSE, the Local Authority or the Police, require careful handling. Actions or inaction can seriously increase the risk of prosecution of the company or of individuals.
How we can help:
Our health and safety solicitors work with our clients to make sure that they are properly advised and represented at all stages of a health and safety investigation. If prosecution follows, we are able to evaluate the chances of a successful defence to health and safety, environmental and other regulatory charges. If a plea of guilty is the best course, they will seek to negotiate the basis of the plea and prepare the mitigation.
What we’ve done:
Our health and safety solicitors' experience ranges from advising on minor breaches of health and safety regulation to gross negligence manslaughter, from workshop accident to high profile rail industry prosecutions. We have an in-depth knowledge of the health and safety and environmental issues that concern the construction, manufacturing, transport and service industries.
