Our client and a work colleague had collected a sofa using a transit van.  When they returned to the yard they needed to transfer it into a large refuse wagon.  They each took hold of one end and were planning to swing it from side to side, and on a count of “1, 2, 3” they would then throw it into the wagon.  However, our client’s colleague let go of the sofa on the count of “1”, resulting in our client’s left thumb being crushed between the sofa and the wagon.  He suffered a crush injury, with damage to his nail that became infected.  There were issues over liability which limited what we were able to recover in personal injury compensation for him to £1,100.
