Corporate manslaughter occurs when a company’s serious management failures lead to a fatality. Under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, businesses can be held criminally responsible for workplace deaths due to gross breaches of duty.
While companies, partnerships, and businesses can be convicted, individuals such as directors and senior managers may also face personal liability under health and safety corporate manslaughter laws, leading to potential fines or imprisonment.
If you or your business is under investigation, seeking expert legal advice is crucial. Our experienced corporate manslaughter solicitors provide the guidance and defence you need to navigate these serious charges. Contact us today for legal support.
Sectors such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and energy face higher risks due to hazardous working conditions and strict safety regulations. However, any business can be investigated if serious failings result in a fatality.
Companies found guilty can face unlimited fines, reputational damage, and court orders demanding operational changes. In severe cases, individuals responsible may receive custodial sentences for related health and safety offences.
Seek immediate legal advice. Engaging with experienced corporate manslaughter solicitors early in the process can help protect your rights and guide you through investigations, interviews, and potential court proceedings.
