Last week mother-nature was teasing us; a few warm days brought out the daffodil shoots, gardeners and frolicking children, now we're all dodging hail stones and scraping ice off our cars again!
Perhaps the powers-that-be have restocked their grit supplies, that would show remarkable foresight. The council seems to be quite conscientious about their roads, but what about the car park where we all end up? That would often be your employer's responsibility and in this icy weather they can be a skid pan for you and your car, just as you think you've got to work safely.
Even if the car park is relatively free of ice and snow, the walkway can be even more hazardous. Over the years we have had compensation claims for some particularly nasty breaks and fractures caused in falls, due to slips and skids on ice. Remember a business has a duty to ensure the safety of it's employees and customers inside and outside it's premises.
If you've had an accident on or around your work's premises, even in the car park, in the last 3 years you could have a valid claim to a significant amount of compensation. It need not be the company you work at now, it might be your previous employer or even an employer who made you redundant. In this uncertain economic climate who can say no to a windfall payment of any sort? Legal Request is here to help.
