What’s My Claim Worth helped Mr M from Chester receive compensation for his injuries when he was injured at work. Mr M was employed as a Warehouse Manager for the Defendant and was instructed, along with his colleagues to transport rollers from one site to another. These rollers were approximately 14ft long, 6ft high and weighed more than half a ton. Mr M was in the back of a van waiting to receive the rollers when a colleague with no training and no licence moved the rollers using a truck. The truck jerked as a result one of the rollers rolling off which resulted in Mr M’s right, dominant hand, becoming crushed, resulting in the amputation of Mr M’s fingertip.
The Insurers admitted liability (fault) however, they partially blamed Mr M. We obtained medical evidence from an Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialised in finger injuries. Hand therapy was recommended and we arranged this for our client on a private basis at no cost to him. Following the treatment, Mr M made a complete recovery and settlement of the claim was agreed at £11,400. This was an award for his injury, private hand therapy, travelling expenses and time spent by his partner assisting him with personal hygiene and household chores for 2 weeks.
