A cherry picker accident at work can leave you seriously injured and uncertain about what comes next.
When your job involves operating heavy machinery like cherry pickers, you rely on your employer to make sure the right safety measures are in place. That includes providing adequate training, suitable personal protective equipment and a safe working environment for anyone required to operate a cherry picker or work from an elevated platform. Even with regulations designed to protect workers, accidents still happen, and when they do, the consequences can be severe.
Injuries caused by cherry picker accidents can range from relatively minor harm to life-changing or fatal injuries. For many people, the impact extends far beyond the accident itself. You may need time away from work for treatment and recovery, and in some cases you may be unable to return to the same kind of work at all which can place real pressure on both you and your family. If the accident happened because someone else’s negligence put your safety at risk, you may be entitled to bring a Cherry Picker Injury Compensation Claim.
At Lanyon Bowdler, our experienced Personal Injury Team has helped many people after serious workplace accidents and is recognised by Chambers UK and The Legal 500 for its personal injury expertise. We provide clear legal advice and supportive guidance tailored to the circumstances of each claim.

Due to the size and nature of a cherry picker, there are a number of different types of accident that could occur, including:
If you have been involved in any type of accident involving a cherry picker or MEWP, which occurred through no fault of your own, you may be able to pursue legal action against those responsible. Here at Lanyon Bowdler our Personal Injury Team have the expertise to guide you through the legal process and ensure the best possible outcome for your case.
Cherry pickers are heavy plant machinery and should only be operated by trained personnel, in a safe and suitable environment, and only used for their intended purpose. A lack of due care and attention can potentially pave the way for accidents to happen.
Some of the most common causes of cherry picker accidents include:
If you have been involved in a cherry picker accident at work that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to claim compensation. If a fellow employee was responsible for the accident you may still be able to claim against your employer, as your employer is ultimately responsible for the actions of all employees on site, and they should have appropriate liability insurance to cover any such eventuality.
Cherry picker accidents can result in minor injuries, such as cuts and bruises, through to severe injuries such as broken bones and head injuries, and in some cases a cherry picker accident can result in fatality. Whether you have suffered a life changing injury, or your injuries are more superficial, you can still make a claim for the suffering you have endured.
The kinds of injury that you can claim compensation for after a cherry picker accident include:
This list is not exhaustive, and if you have suffered any kind of physical or mental injury as a result of a cherry picker accident which occurred due to somebody else’s negligence, you are entitled to pursue legal action. Here at Lanyon Bowdler we have helped many clients in your situation to seek justice and receive financial compensation for their injuries after a cherry picker accident, so please don’t hesitate to contact us to find out how we can help you.
Cherry pickers and MEWPs are used every day in a variety of workplaces that require employees to conduct work at heights, such as construction sites and warehouses. Working at height using heavy plant machinery like cherry pickers carries significant risks to workers if the correct safety measures are not implemented and adhered to.
If you are required to work at height using a cherry picker or mobile elevated platform, your employer has a legal and moral obligation to establish and maintain a safe working environment in line with current health and safety legislation.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Working at Height Regulations 2005 all employers must ensure they are compliant with the following precautions:
If your employer has failed in their fulfilment of their responsibilities and it has resulted in an accident occurring, in which you have sustained an injury, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Our experienced and highly qualified personal injury team are on hand to discuss your case and offer advice and 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.
Dependable, thoughtful and sound advice. Professional, personable and accessible. A stalwart presence with good advice throughout – thank you.

It is a pleasure to act as a case manager for clients represented by the personal injury team at Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors. Lanyon Bowdler PI team are proactive and truly client centred. They understand the clients they represent and work tirelessly to achieve the best they can for them. Through collaborative working we have been able to achieve the best outcomes possible for our clients.
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. Equally importantly, I am struck by the compassion, empathy and humanity with which every client is treated. They go above and beyond to ensure their clients receive the very best representation.
The team at Lanyon Bowdler show an exceptional knowledge and understanding of their client’s needs, not just in terms of the claim that they lead, but also the emotional and personal experiences that they will have on that journey.
Lanyon Bowdler provide seamless ongoing emotional support, information and guidance to their clients over what may be many years of a PI claim. This significantly helps mitigate the “stress” of a claim for their clients, and in my medicolegal experience puts them way ahead of other legal firms.
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.
