How can we help?
Rotating blade injuries are among the most severe and traumatic incidents that can occur in workplaces, particularly within the construction, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. These injuries often result from the misuse or malfunction of powerful machinery, such as circular saws, table saws, angle grinders, planers, and other high-speed cutting tools. Due to the nature of these machines, accidents can lead to life-changing consequences, including deep lacerations, nerve damage, and in some cases, partial or full amputations.
At Stephensons, we understand that a serious injury caused by a rotating blade can have a sudden and devastating impact on your life. Our expert personal injury solicitors have significant experience in handling complex and serious injury claims, helping individuals to recover the compensation they deserve while providing empathetic guidance throughout their legal journey.
A rotating blade injury refers to any physical harm sustained due to contact with the moving parts of equipment designed to cut, saw, or grind materials. These injuries are common in environments where heavy-duty tools are used without adequate safety measures or training. Common causes include faulty machinery, lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), insufficient supervision, or an employer’s failure to follow health and safety regulations.
Such injuries can result in extensive physical trauma, including severe cuts, severed tendons, crushed bones, and amputations. In addition to the physical damage, many individuals experience psychological effects, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can further affect their quality of life and ability to work.
If you have suffered an injury due to a rotating blade in your workplace or another setting where you were owed a duty of care, you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim. Employers have a legal obligation to maintain a safe working environment under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Failure to adhere to these standards could amount to negligence.
Compensation can cover a variety of areas, including medical expenses, loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs, and compensation for pain and suffering. It can also account for long-term care needs and support in cases where the injury results in permanent disability or amputation. Our team can assess your case in detail and advise you on the best course of action to ensure you receive the support you need.

In most personal injury cases, you have three years from the date of the injury or from the date you became aware that your injury was caused by negligence. However, there are exceptions, so it's always best to seek advice as soon as possible.
Yes, you may still be able to claim compensation even if you were partly responsible for the accident. The amount you receive may be reduced to reflect your contribution to the incident, known as contributory negligence.
Helpful evidence may include photographs of the accident scene, witness statements, medical records, accident reports, and employment records. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
Many personal injury claims are settled out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached and your case has reasonable prospects of success, our solicitors are fully prepared to represent your interests in court to secure the compensation you deserve.
In many cases, we can offer to handle your claim on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you will not have to pay any legal costs if your claim is unsuccessful. We will explain all funding options clearly at your initial consultation.
