What Is a Fall From Height Claim?
A fall from height claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you were injured after falling from scaffolding, ladders, platforms, roofs, or other elevated surfaces due to unsafe conditions or negligence. Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of serious and fatal workplace injuries in the UK, despite strict health and safety laws.
If you have suffered such an accident in the last three years and it was not your fault, LITKRAFT can help you pursue compensation and the support you need to recover.
Who Can Claim After a Fall From Height?
You may be entitled to compensation if you were:
• An employee injured in a fall while working at height
• A self-employed contractor, agency worker, or subcontractor hurt on site
• A visitor or inspector injured due to unsafe access or lack of safety measures
• A family member bringing a claim on behalf of someone fatally injured
Responsibility may lie with your employer, main contractor, site owner, or equipment supplier depending on the circumstances.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
