Being injured in the workplace, or in a public place, by a falling object can have a devastating impact on your life, and can even be fatal in some instances.
A large object falling from height can cause serious and life changing injuries such as head injuries, brain damage, and loss of limbs. Even a minor injury caused by a small object can result in concussion and will likely mean taking time off work to recover, which can have a financial impact on you and your family.
If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident involving a falling object, which was caused due to somebody else’s negligence, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Whether the accident occurred at your place of work or in a public place, if you were owed a duty of care by the person or company responsible for the premises, and that duty of care was breached, you can pursue legal action.
Here at Lanyon Bowdler our highly qualified and experienced Personal Injury Team have successfully handled many cases just like yours. We continuously strive to use our knowledge and expertise to ensure we achieve the best possible outcome to your case, which typically means securing the maximum amount of compensation available for your injury, and ensuring that measures are put in place to prevent an accident of the same nature from occurring again in the future.
If you’d like to find out more about how we can help you to seek justice and reparations for your falling object injury, please don’t hesitate to contact our team of specialist personal injury solicitors who will be happy to help.
A falling object accident occurs when an object falls from height and strikes a person somewhere on their body, causing an injury. This type of accident can happen anywhere, including in a public place or private residence, but they occur most commonly in the workplace.
Falling object accidents can potentially happen in any workplace, but they are most commonly experienced in the manufacturing and construction industries, and the type of situation in which a falling object could cause an injury includes:
Your employer has a moral and legal obligation to ensure that all employees and site visitors are kept as safe as is reasonably possible. This is usually done by carrying out regular risk assessments, ensuring all employees are fully trained, providing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and ensuring that machinery and fixtures are in good working order.
If your employer has breached their legal obligations and it has resulted in you sustaining an injury caused by a falling object, you may be able to claim compensation. Our friendly and professional personal injury team can guide you through the whole process and ensure a successful outcome to your case.
At Lanyon Bowdler, we have a range of experience in dealing with falling objects claims. Get in touch today and we help you gain the compensation that you deserve.

We understand the devastating impact that a falling object injury can have on you and your family, which is why we work hard to ensure your case is successful.
Injuries caused by falling objects can range from mild to severe, and even fatal, depending on the size and weight of the object, how far it has fallen, and what part of the body is struck by the object.
The kind of injuries most commonly caused by falling objects include:
If you have sustained an injury due to being struck by a falling object at work, it is likely that you’ll need to take time off work whilst you undergo treatment, or you may even need to give up work altogether, and this can put a financial strain on you and your family.
If the accident occurred due to somebody else’s negligence, we can help you to make a claim for compensation. Likewise, if you have sadly lost a loved one in a falling object accident, we can help you to make a claim on their behalf.
No amount of money can make up for what you have been through, but it can help to ease the stress of the situation and aid you on your journey to recovery.
All employers have a moral and legal obligation to ensure that their employees are able to carry out their roles as safely as is reasonably possible. They are also responsible for ensuring the safety of anyone who visits the site, for example independent contractors, delivery drivers, and customers.
There are a number of government regulations that employers must adhere to, which include:
As part of these legislative acts, employers must ensure the following:
If your employer fails to adhere to the relevant legislation and it results in a falling object accident which causes you to sustain an injury, you may be entitled to pursue legal action. Likewise, if the actions of a fellow employee lead to an accident occurring, your employer can still be held accountable as they are ultimately responsible for their employees.
You may be concerned that taking legal action against your employer could affect their business financially. However, most employers should be in possession of a legitimate liability and insurance policy which will cover the cost of any legal action taken against them, without affecting their business in a negative way.
Another concern that some employees have with regards to suing their employer is that it will affect their job security. However, the law is on your side, and your employer can’t legally treat you any differently or dismiss you due to you seeking compensation, so you can rest assured that your position at the company will remain protected.
Making a claim against your employer can not only lead to a compensation pay out for you, but it also typically means that your employer will be required to carry out a full investigation into how and why the incident occurred, and subsequently review their safety policies and procedures in order to ensure that the same type of incident does not occur again in the future.
If you’d like any further clarification about your rights when it comes to pursuing legal action against your employer, please get in touch with our personal injury team who will be happy to answer your questions and offer guidance.
Phillip Roberts handled my claim in a professional and knowledgable way and I would like to thank him very much for all the work he has done for me.
After my experience using LB 15 years ago and being very impressed I had no hesitation in using them again on a totally different matter and I was not disappointed. Excellent service once again with a successful secondary victim claim.
First Class experience from start to finish with this company.
One hundred percent happy with my claim and the outcome my solicitor was brilliant all through my case.
First Class Service
I was injured in a terrible accident whilst working on a farm, I was left with extensive injuries to my arm which impacted all aspects of my life including my ability to go back to work. Once I had instructed Lanyon Bowdler they instructed medical experts who were able to recommend rehabilitation for me which was arranged, and this meant that I could go back to work and start living independently again. They secured compensation of £45,000 and gave me all the advice and support I needed to accept the offer made.
After a horrible road traffic accident I was left with minimal physical injuries but a significant psychological injury which affected all aspects of my life including my ability to go back to work. Lanyon Bowdler handled my claim whilst also securing crucial rehabilitation for me. They secured £85,000 in compensation for me just after a year after my accident.
After a serious motorbike accident in which my Dad sustained significant head and life changing injuries I instructed Lanyon Bowdler to assist me with making a claim on his behalf. As part of his claim they ensured that he received an appropriate care package to support him in living independently and access to appropriate rehabilitation. They secured for him a settlement of £3.1m together with PPOs for his care and case management for the rest of his life which means that all of his needs can be met.

They understand the clients they represent and work tirelessly to achieve the best they can for them.

As a case manager I work closely with litigation teams to ensure our clients get the expertise, support and care they need to bring them back to as close to their life pre-injury as possible. This is very often not an easy journey, and balancing the desires of the client to live their best life with collating and presenting the facts of how that life is altered, can be very challenging. Having worked alongside Lanyon Bowdler’s team for many years, I have noted it is always easier to strike this balance, when they are involved.
Having worked with a succession of personal injury specialists at Lanyon Bowdler over the years, I have seen at first hand the top-flight legal expertise that they bring to every case and the commitment to obtaining the absolutely best result for every client.

Contacted Lanyon Bowdler six months after an injury at work. They offered me several of their services, including no win no fee which I ended up choosing. The solicitor was extremely helpful, was always keeping me updated when there was news and answered promptly when asked for any updates or when I asked any questions. I was very happy with the final settlement and the advice I received proved to be the best for my case. I felt like the extra bit of care was extended to give me a good idea of the options I had to choose from which really helped to inform any decision.
From my initial approach to the final positive outcome I felt my solicitor was expending all his energy to win the case. I was kept informed throughout and was given straightforward advice on how to proceed. The end result was an acceptable outcome and the pay-out was prompt.
Very friendly and quick to respond, highly recommend for anyone looking for legal advice.
