Our client was employed to drive a car transporter.  After securing a car he was descending from the transporter when he placed his foot where there should have been a ladder.  The area did not have a non-slip surface and he slipped causing him to fall several feet to the ground.  He sustained soft tissue injuries to his shin and twisted his ankle and knee.  The injuries caused him to be off work for 9 weeks, but he made a full recovery after about 7 months.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just under £4,000.

A brief summary of events is set out below.
