The injured worker who as year-old man was awarded £25,000 for the back injury sustained in an accident at work.
The fork lift truck reversed into the worker and struck his back causing permanent back and chronic back pain. The worker was off work for a period of 9 months, returned to work on light duties as he was unable to lift heavy objects at work. He made an almost complete recovery from his injuries within 3 years from the accident. The ongoing “niggling” back pain was thought not to be related to the accident at work but due to a pre-existing problem he suffered from 3 years prior to the accident in question.
The worker received £25,000 for his injuries alone, plus loss of earnings in the sum of £12,500, in addition to medical costs, travel expenses and sundry costs. The worker received 100% of his compensation awarded; no legal costs were deducted from his accident at work solicitors
