Employers Liability Law for Casual Workers

Quantum Claims have noted an important case in Employment Law relating to casual workers. In an important case from 2002, Allison v. Davidson, a man was asked, with another, to do some painting by a publican. During the work, one of the men fell from a ladder which was too short. When this case came to court, it was accepted that there would be liability for compensation if the man had been employed by the defender under the 1992 Workplace Regulations. It was decided that the defender was indeed liable under these regulations — even although it was only a single job — about as casual as casual employment can be.

All cases are unique, but if you've been in an accident or injured whilst doing casual work for an employer, you may be entitled to compensation under the 1992 legislation.

Quantum Claims work exclusively on a no win no fee basis, which can take much of the stress out of pursuing a claim through the courts.
