Every year there are around 250,000 people injured on the UK’s roads, many in car accidents or as pedestrians or cyclists.

This figure amounts to nearly 700 people a day being hurt on roads in the UK, which is an average of one person every 2 minutes and many of these accidents involve serious and even fatal injuries.

Pinto Potts Solicitors a specialist personal injury firm in Aldershot require a Para-Legal to work in a new “preliminary” department dealing with the setting up of new personal injury matters, assessing the merits of success, advising clients on the law regarding Health and Safety, Limitation, Date of Knowledge and Damages.

Recent reports have highlighted the dangers faced by todays maritime workers, in particular those involved in on-shore work, mooring and anchoring ships and boats at ports and docks.

There has been a large increase in the number of shore based UK shipping workers injured during the mooring and anchoring process.

Pinto Potts Solicitors have learned this week that over 75% of all accidents that happen in Supermarkets involve members of staff.

This shocking revelation could indicate a major problem with safety standards in the supermarket industry as thousands of workers suffer injury every year.

After the recent case at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant chain “Jamies Italian” where a chef was awarded £8500 compensation (plus legal costs) after being badly burned with hot oil while she was on a training day, all restaurant owners and kitchen workers have been warned to be aware of the dangers of their workplace.

In the UK the modern restaurant is often a busy, fast moving environment, the kitchen is normally full of hot stoves, ovens and pans and an accident can easily occur.

Forklift accidents can be a danger for many people in many types of industry, the modern forklift truck is used in a variety of different workplaces, from factory floors, courier depots, distribution centres and engineering plants.

Farm accidents are unfortunately fairly common place, generally an accident on a farm will result in only minor injury, but sometimes it can be much more serious.

Travelling on a bus, coach or other public transport is generally one of the safest ways to get around.

However, a bus or coach, just like any other vehicle on the road is exposed to the dangers of the highway and accidents do happen, every day buses are involved in collisions and accidents that result in the passengers on board being hurt.
