Successful slip at work / trip at work compensation claims

Compensation for trip injury at work

Client A was working as part of a team of men boarding out the back of a large cinema screen with sound boarding. The area behind the screen was covered by a scaffolding walkway. There was limited lighting. The scaffold walkway had a number of gaps, some of approximately 1 foot wide. The claimant was carrying a piece of board along the walkway. He stumbled as his foot went into one of the smaller gaps in the walkway and fell twisting his knee causing permanent injury. The case was successfully pursued and damages recovered for him including amounts in respect of the injury itself but also related financial losses including loss of earnings.
