The client, who worked for First South Yorkshire ltd, suffered the accident at work when she was walking along designated footpath at bus depot and her ankle went over the edge of a broken kerbstone.

She suffered a broken bone in her ankle, requiring plaster treatment and physiotherapy.

The case settled shortly after for £9,800 in compensation.
