Legal advice Employment law employer negligence accident at work

** Must be a qualified solicitor registered with SRA ** Looking to understand how to best move forward with legal action for a past work accident, and what are the steps involved, rough costs, time frames etc. Is employee negligence / breach duty of care the best (as in most likely) legal avenue? Need to understand the time limits – I didn’t find out the cover up until a copy of my medical records were obtained in 2024. Does the fact that the company covered up the accident and denied me life saving medical care offer and avenue and also nullify the personal injury claim ? I have no desire at this stage to explore legal action against my past solicitors. Is an employer legally required to provide medical assistance to an employee who sustains a serious injury, and do they also have a legal obligation to ensure that a certain number of staff members are trained in first aid? Happy to communicate in writing or phone call etc. I suffered a workplace accident that was not my fault and the company admitted liability, however due to workplace accidents being rife the company (to be confirmed) deliberately tried to cover up and downgrade the accident, ultimately leading to myself receiving such inadequate medical care that it constitutes being denied medical care. This is also lead to incorrect information being documented on my medical records with was a vast contrast to what I was claiming my injuries were, so that it created a bias from health care professionals that is still prevalent today, resulting in still not receiving adequate investigation or treatment. The accident 03/03/2017- whilst working in a loading bay and opening the curtains on a large double decker height lorry, another employee operating a folk lift started unloading from the opposite side and knocked a pallet containing 50kg of drums. striking me in the head throwing me to the floor. Immediately following my accident, the company having no qualified health and safety staff members on shift, did not call an ambulance to correctly identify the severity of my head injury, and went against protocol to move me, forcibly picking me up and taking me to Loughborough walk in centre. Whilst I was suffering from a severe concussion and did not feel capable, the company employee told the doctors at the walk in centre that I had been hit on the head by a 5ltr bottle - not a pallet totalling 50kg drums and was exceptionally lucky to be alive. I did not establish this fact until February 2024 when I got a copy of the my NHS medical record from the night of my accident. The employee misinforming the doctor was part of the evidence I have as to why the company deliberately covered up my accident: • The company had a chequered health and safety history, including a fatality in 2003 - news paper article attached. • 3 cameras of the accident were mysteriously not working. • No ambulance called • Doctors given incorrect information to down play the accident. • The company did not report the accident to the health and safety executive until 3.5 Years after the accident - not the maximum of 15 days timeframe required by RIDDOR. • Its suspected that the companies insurance company may have also been given the incorrect weight * - pending information from a GDPR request . Possible avenues of legal recourse: Employer Negligence / Duty of Care: The company breached their duty of care and failed to provide me with medical help following my accident. No health and safety employee on site, I was a risk employee being on blood thinners and should not have been moved without a spinal board and an ambulance. please see the attached word document that covers the rest of the details.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION We are an established UK accountancy practice expanding our brand My Office Accountant (myofficeaccountant.co.uk) into a national online service. We need an experienced WordPress developer/implementer to build out a structured library of SEO landing pages in three tiers: Tier 1 — Industry pages (25 pages). e.g. /accountants-for/contractors, /accountants-for/landlords, /accountants-for/ecommerce Tier 2 — Location pages (25 pages). e.g. /locations/manchester, /locations/birmingham, /locations/enfield Tier 3 — Intersection pages (approx. 15-25 pages). e.g. /accountants-for/contractors/manchester Important: we supply the content. Every page's copy, title tag, meta description, H1 and FAQ text will be provided by us in a structured content document, built from master templates we already have. Your job is implementation, not copywriting. Do not generate, spin or AI-write page content — any submission containing content we did not supply will be rejected at milestone review. Scope of work Reusable page template(s). Build one flexible landing-page template (or one per tier if cleaner) in the site's existing theme/page builder, matching our current branding — hero with dual CTA buttons, tick-list strip, content sections, FAQ accordion, CTA block, internal-links footer. Mobile-responsive, fast-loading (target 90+ mobile PageSpeed on template pages). Page build. Populate all ~30–33 pages from our content document into the templates, with correct URL slugs exactly as specified. Technical SEO per page: title tags, meta descriptions, single H1, correct heading hierarchy, FAQPage schema on FAQ blocks, breadcrumb schema on intersection pages, Service/Organization schema sitewide, canonical tags, all pages added to the XML sitemap. Internal linking exactly as mapped in our content document (industry ↔ location ↔ intersection three-way pattern), plus navigation/footer entries where specified. Site plumbing: ensure clean URL structure (no pattern mixing), 301 redirects if any existing pages are superseded, no orphan pages, submit updated sitemap in Google Search Console. Handover: a short screen-recorded walkthrough (10–15 min) showing how we add the next wave of pages ourselves using the template, plus documentation of any plugins/settings added. Milestones & payment M1 (25%): Template(s) approved on staging — one fully built sample page per tier, matching brand and passing mobile PageSpeed check. M2 (35%): All Tier 1 + Tier 2 pages built, schema validating (Google Rich Results Test), internal links in place. M3 (30%): Tier 3 pages built; full crawl check (Screaming Frog or similar) showing no broken links, duplicate titles or missing meta; sitemap submitted. M4 (10%): Handover video + documentation delivered. Requirements — please confirm each in your proposal Proven WordPress experience (or confirm ability on our platform after viewing the site) with landing-page/programmatic-SEO builds — include 2–3 live examples of multi-page SEO builds you've implemented Comfortable with schema markup and validating it Experience with Elementor / WPBakery / Gutenberg (state which — we'll confirm what the site uses) Basic Search Console familiarity (sitemap submission) UK English; UK working-hours overlap preferred but not essential You will be given limited-role site access (Editor/custom role) — not full admin — and staging access where available To apply, please answer these three questions (proposals that don't will be skipped) Link to one multi-page SEO/landing-page system you built: what was your role, and how many pages? How would you implement FAQPage schema on a repeatable template so non-developers can add pages later? What's your realistic timeline for M1 and M2, and your total fixed price? What we provide Full content document (all copy, metadata, slugs, FAQ text, link map) Brand assets (logo, colours, fonts) and access to the existing site One point of contact with fast turnaround on approvals (24–48h) What this is NOT Not a redesign of the whole site (template must fit existing branding) Not a copywriting job Not ongoing SEO/link-building (may be discussed separately after delivery)

Seeking eCommerce Beta Testers

Beta Tester - Optagen Portal & Integrations What you’re testing The Optagen portal lets you manage multiple stores by bringing together data from your commerce, analytics, accounting, inventory, and CRM systems. It creates a single ranked action list, with each recommendation labeled for trust and checked against real results. We need beta testers to use the portal with real store data and identify what breaks, what’s slow, what’s missing, and what doesn’t match reality. Integration coverage required You will test syncing and data accuracy across these integrations: Commerce platforms: Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Etsy Analytics: Google Analytics 4, Search Console Shipping/3PL: ShipBob, ShipStation, Easyship Inventory systems: Cin7, Katana Accounting: QuickBooks, Xero Marketing/CRM: Klaviyo You don’t need to use every integration—just test the ones you already use. We’re aiming for each tester to cover at least 3 or 4 integrations from different categories. What we’re asking 1. Sync completeness: Check if all the expected fields from each integration show up in the portal. Are SKU, pricing, margin, sales, traffic, inventory, and competitor data there? 2. Refresh latency: See how long it takes for changes in your source system (like a price update in Shopify or a GA4 event) to show up in the ranked plan. 3. Data accuracy: Choose 5 to 10 data points you can check in both your source system and Optagen. Do they match? 4. Signal read accuracy: The portal calculates metrics such as AI visibility, SKU margins, demand signals, returns concentration, pricing elasticity, and competitor share of voice. Check these against your store. Do they make sense? Can you find the data sources if you look for them? 5. Ranked plan stability: Run the same store scan twice in one week. Does the ranked plan update based on new data, or does it stay the same? Are the revenue-impact numbers realistic? What we’re not asking * Testing the governed execution agent (scheduled to ship later; currently in development) * Load testing or scale testing * Security testing or pen testing * UX/design feedback (we’ll gather that separately) Timeline and access * Beta runs from [DATE] to [DATE] * You’ll get portal access for your own stores, using your real data—not test data. * We’ll keep an eye on logs and collect diagnostics if something fails. Please report any issues as they happen via a feedback button. * We’ll have a weekly sync call to talk about any blockers or patterns you notice. Who should apply * You run 1-5 stores across 2+ of these platforms. * You can verify data accuracy (you know your actual margins, traffic, and sales numbers) * You’re willing to spend 2-4 hours per week auditing sync health and data correctness. * You’re okay with bugs and incomplete features since this is a beta test. When you apply, please indicate: * Which platforms you currently use (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Etsy etc.) * Rough store size (monthly revenue or annual, average order value, SKU count) * Any specific data quality concerns you have with your current setup

Small Webiste Reskin Project

Scope: exactly 7 pages + main menu. No content creation, no full-site rebuild — see details below. Project Summary: We have an existing, live company website and need it reskinned/updated with a new template — not rebuilt from scratch. This means selecting a new theme/template and applying it to 7 existing page types, plus a simplified main menu. Most of the pages already exist in some form on the current site (linked below) and simply need to be rebuilt using the new template with the content we provide. This is a template selection and build-out project, not a content creation or bespoke design project. Once those 7 Pages are in place, we should be able to roll out the rest of it across the site ourselves, no help required.

Some minor bespoke design work coudl be utilized here. Expect more iteration/review on this page than on the others Other pages should be clean, professional, and consistent with the brand, but do not require the same level of bespoke polish as the homepage The 7 Pages: 1. Homepage - Content structure guide pending — to follow 2. Solution/Challenge & Industry page - One template covering both page types. Reference example: Aerospace & Defence industry page (link to follow) 3. Product/Technology page - One template to cover 2 existing product pages (URLs to be shared with shortlisted candidates) 4.
