A Scottish accident claim can be made for an incident in which personal injury has been sustained by a young driver in a work-related road traffic incident.
Young workers on the road
Young workers are the most vulnerable in Scotland. In fact, statistics show us that younger workers are more likely to make a Scottish accident claim for a work injury during their first six months of employment than they are for for all the rest of their working life put together.
There are many reasons for this, from exploitation of younger workers by employers to low health and safety knowledge and a high level of risk-taking behaviour. What is clear is that the challenges presented by young workers in the Scottish workforce cannot be ignored.
However, when younger workers find that their jobs require them to be road users, the challenges become even more pronounced. This is because inexperienced drivers, particularly young men, are many times more likely to suffer a car accident than older and more experienced workers.
As such, employers have a duty to educate young occupational road users about the many dangers and hazards they will face when behind the wheel. This means improving attitudes, understanding the needs of younger drivers, communicating clear health and safety policy and, above all, providing a good level of road safety education.
It may also mean ensuring that young workers complete advanced driver training, as such courses have been proven to reduce the rates of road traffic crashes among young people.
A spokesperson with YouClaim's Scottish accident lawyer team comments, "Young people deserve a chance, both in the workplace and on the roads, so it's great when employers make an investment of time, money and education in promoting their safety. Ultimately, these things improve profitability, not only for individual workplaces but also for the Scottish economy as a whole."
