Our client was sitting in his stationary vehicle when a van reversed into him, causing a whiplash injury affecting his back and shoulder.  The medical expert believed that with physiotherapy treatment the client would make a full recovery within 2 years of the accident and we were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just under £4,400.

A brief summary of events is set out below.

Our client was attending a themed evening at a nightclub, and as he walked across the dance floor he stepped on a broken bottle.  The glass went through his footwear causing a deep cut to his foot, which has resulted in permanent tendon and nerve damage.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of £4,500.

Our client was delivering a caterpillar vehicle and bucket.  The caterpillar had already been loaded onto the trailer by another party, but it had been incorrectly strapped, which meant that the bucket would not fit.  As the load had to be secure before he started his journey, our client removed the strapping and was re-doing this when he fell from the edge of the trailer.  This was because there was very little space for him to work in between the edge of the trailer and the caterpillar.  He sustained a fracture to one of the vertebrae in his lower back and was in hospital for several days.  We were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of just over £6,500.

Our client was employed in the storeroom at his work, which was meant to be a dry and clean area at all times, when he developed a rash and swelling to his face and eyes.  Earlier that day he had been sorting out the “spill kits”, which were used whenever a spillage occurred.  These kits contained a small bag for the spillage to be put in and ties to secure around the top of the bag to seal the spillage.  However, one of the bags was not secured with a tie and this resulted in our client being exposed to the spilt epoxy resin.  This caused him to develop a rash and soreness of the eyes.  He was found to have become sensitized to epoxy resin, which means that whenever he is exposed to any quantity of this substance in the future he will suffer similar symptoms.  His opportunities for finding similar types of work are therefore limited.  As a result we were able to recover personal injury compensation for him of £5,600.
