Accident Work Compensation – £2500 – Scarring To Hand

25/11/2009

Workplace accident claim injury example:

Accident at work claim was made when a worker was injured due to a cleaner cutting her hand from a small piece of glass that was on the window ledge. A compensation claim by the accident solicitors who acted on behalf of an employee obtained £2500. Injuries sustained a severe deep cut wound to the left hand and leaving it with a permanent scar.

The accident at work claim was made when a cleaner had badly cut her hand on a small piece of sharp glass that was left on the window ledge. The glass was from a glass cup that had been smashed on the window ledge by a work colleague who accidentally knocked it over. The glass was not cleaned up.

The injured cleaner was treated by the first aider and used an antiseptic wipe and bandage to stop the cut becoming infected. This turned into a permanent scar and the scar tissue caused sensitivity by the cold weather which was expected to last around 12 months.

The employers responsible for the workplace ensured that all future incidents are dealt with straight away and to make sure there are no things to cause similar accidents happening again.

Accident at work solicitors obtained compensation for £2500 for the work related accident. The worker also received compensation for expenses and loss of earnings.

The accident at work solicitors acted on a NO WIN NO FEE agreement and recovered all legal costs off the insurance company. The worker received 100% compensation and 0% legal costs.
