Injury solicitors help man make UK accident at work claim

An engineer has been awarded almost £500,000 after his head was crushed by heavy machinery in a serious industrial accident.

Adrian Pile, of Bideford, Devon, made a UK accident at work claim against his former employer, T J Brent, after sustaining severe personal injuries in a near fatal accident.

Mr Pile has been left with severe brain damage following the accident and has lost the vision in one of his eyes.

His personal injury solicitor, Mike Clarke, said, "Mr Pile recovered very well from the injuries which could easily have been fatal, but his promising career as an engineer has been destroyed.

"He will suffer significant difficulties for the rest of his life and the size of the settlement reflects that. He is a very determined man of high intelligence, who has made great efforts to keep working and remain positive, despite the drastic effect this accident has had on his life."

T J Brent admitted liability for the UK accident at work claim and Mr Pile was awarded almost £500,000 in injury compensation.
