ACCIDENT AT WORK – FALLING OBJECT AT WORK – £1,500 AWARDED IN COMPENSATION!

What’s My Claim Worth settled a claim for a client who sustained soft tissue injuries to her leg after an accident at work. Our client made an enquiry after she visited our website to obtain a valuation of her injury.

Our client had been injured a few days before her enquiry when she was at work in her job as a factory tester. She was walking through the factory when a colleague managed to knock over a metal store cupboard which was being used to store brooms and other items. The cupboard fell hitting the back of our client’s leg. She was immediately in considerable pain and had to go to hospital.

Our specialist solicitors were able to advise that her employer would almost certainly be liable for her accident. All employers are responsible for the actions and omissions on their employees. This is known as the principle of “vicarious liability”.  Vicarious liability is very helpful to client’s whose injury is caused by an employee.

Our client’s accident was clearly caused by her colleague and therefore our client was able to pursue a claim against her employer.

We submitted our client’s claim to her employer and as expected their Employers Liability Insurers quickly admitted liability for the accident. We proceed to obtain a Medical Report from an independent Expert and to settle our client’s claim quickly, with the minimum of fuss and disruption to her.

Our client sustained minor injuries to her leg and she made a speedy recovery. We were able to recover £1,500 for her injuries and £50 for some small items of financial loss she incurred.
