accident at work

I NEED SOME ADVICE.I WAS AN APPRENTICE ELECTRICIAN AND I HAD AN ACCIDENT AT WORK JULY 2008 WHERE I FELL OFF SOME STEP LADDERS. THE STEP LADDERS WERE ILLEGAL (MADE FROM WOOD WITH NO RUBBER FEET OF STILES) BUT I WAS MADE TO USE THEM BY MY SUPERVISOR WHEN I WAS STILL AN APPRENTICE. I LANDED ON A CONCREATE FLOOR WITH MY LEG TRAPPED IN THE LADDER AND FELL WITH MY BACK TO THE FLOOR. NOW MY SUPERVISOR HAS ONLY EVER HAD THEM SET OF STEP LADDERS BUT HAS ALWAYS ASKED FOR SOME PROPER SAFETY STEP LADDERS FROM THE COMPANY WE WORK FOR BUT WAS NEVER GIVEN THEM. AFTER I FELL OFF NOT JUST MY SUPERVISOR BUT ALL THE TRADESMEN IN THE COMPANY GOT NEW STEP LADDERS, HEALTH AND SAFETY FORMS, RISK ASSESSMENTS AND WERE PUT ON SAFETY LADDER COURSES. THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THE COMPANY WAS IN THE WRONG. I TOOK OFF 4 WEEKS OFF WORK AND WAS REPTATIVLY HARRASSED BY MY MANAGER TO COME BACK INTO WORK ALTHOUGH I HAD A SICK NOT. I WAS CALLED NUMOUROUS AMOUNT OF TIMES AND HE ALSO PAID ME A VISIT AT HOME WHICH I WASENT TOO HAPPY ABOUT.
I DONT HAVE ANY PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE BUT I DO HAVE DOCTORS SICK NOT RECORDS. I DONT HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF THE LADDERS NEITHER BUT MY SUPERVISOR STILL HAS THEM AT HOME. I DO HOWEVER HAVE THE DATE AND TIME OF THE ACCIDENT AND IT IS RECORDED WITH THE NATIONAL ACCIDENTS LINE.
CAN I SEW THE COMPANY FOR THIS AND TAKE ACTION AGAINST BEEING 'BADGERED' WHILE ON SICK?
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND THE BEST SOLICITORS/COMPANY TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF CASE?
ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
THANKYOU
