Although some people may view industrial accidents as being caused solely by complicated malfunctions or dangerous chemicals, work-related personal injuries can quite simply be caused by poor maintenance of a vehicle by the company responsible.
It is important that if employees use vehicles for any tasks, they are trained and licensed to use them and that someone is put in charge of checking that the vehicle is in good working order.
Some firms may give the drivers that responsibility but others will assign someone specific or a certain group of people for the job, potentially outsourcing mechanics from another company.
Failure to make sure that all vehicles used by members of staff are checked regularly or sent for repair when a fault is found, could result in a crash and a compensation claim for pain, suffering, and loss of earnings.
Employers have a duty of care to all their members of staff, so they are likely to be found liable for any incidents for which the worker was not at fault.
The amount that they may have to pay as a settlement will depend on the severity of the personal injury sustained by the victim. They may also be fined by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
