Helping people claim compensation after a work accident

Thousands of people sustain injuries after a work accident that was not their fault every year, and many go on to make a successful compensation claim. This is an example of one of the people that came to us for help making a personal injury claim. She was awarded over £2,200 in compensation for her neck and back injuries.

One of our successful work accident customers
Our customer worked for a company (the defendant in the case) checking containers after they had been moulded and then stacking them into large palettes. In February 2003, she was walking through a doorway; she pushed a plastic strip in a doorway with her left hand whilst pulling a palette trap behind her.

One of the plastic strips from the doorway got caught on her trousers and she fell down on her left side. Our customer reported the accident to her team leader. Gradually, she began to experience pain in her left shoulder, back, left knee and left ankle. She was unable to continue working and was sent home.

Due to her symptoms, our customer attended her GP. She was signed off sick due to her back and neck injuries.

Our customer initially contacted us regarding her work accident in August 2004 when a no win, no fee agreement was entered into with us. A letter of claim was sent to her employer in December 2004 and liability was admitted by them in June 2005.

GP notes were obtained and an expert trauma and orthopaedic surgeon was instructed to prepare a medical report, as evidence to support the work accident claim

In August 2005, after negotiations, the sum of £2,242.08 was agreed in final settlement of her accident at work claim.
