Stress at Work
Employers have a duty to protect the health and safety of their employees. In an intensive working environment, stresses and depression can arise, sometimes a stressful working environment can be created by the employer themselves. Stress at work can be caused by increasingly heavy workloads where no help is provided, bullying and sometimes violence.
As work related stress can have many causes, the best solution is to speak to a lawyer who has experience in stress at work claims. Fosters is one of the few legal firms to have won stress at work claims at trial.
We know that if you are considering bringing a stress at work claim you will have many questions. A few of these are answered below and we will be happy to answer further questions when we see you.
