Employers’ Liability

Hardwicke’s Legal 500 recommended injury practitioners are renowned for their employers’ liability work. Employers’ liability claims form the back bone of injury work and the specialist team at Hardwicke has extensive experience in all types of accidents at work.

Causation can be a particular feature of work accident claims and our willingness to be involved at an early, pre-litigation stage of the claim means we can give advice on investigation and preservation of evidence and so help our clients build or defend a claim from the start.  The analysis of risk assessments and training is another valuable feature of our work.

Manual handling and work equipment claims are particularly common but the team also has experience in “long-tail” claims and, in particular, occupational disease and multi-party claims. The breadth of our occupational disease experience covers asbestos, respiratory disorder, vibration white finger, repetitive strain disorders and Hardwicke’s team will provide advice throughout the litigation process.

Advice will often be required on broader issues, such as an analysis of sub-contracts, assessment of third party claims and advice on indemnities.  Whether or not the injured person is an employee or whether the claim is a public liability claim can often be an important sub-issue. We also advise on related issues concerning employer’s liability claims, such as the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act.
