The Retail Staff Injury Claim

Unforeseen Injuries can occur at workplaces, especially in retail environments. It is the responsibility of the employer to look after the safety of the workplace and prevent accidental injuries.

Hence the employer should provide satisfactory training to staff members and not force them to perform any unaccustomed tasks. If a staff member suffers an injury as a result of negligence from their employer, a legal remedy is available in the form of an injury claim. Our team of retail staff injury claims solicitors can help you make a claim in such cases.

Some of the most common injuries at the workplace involving retail staff are mentioned below:

• Accidents using ladders
