Successful Outcome Following Workplace Slip and Fall Accident
Our client was injured in a serious workplace accident while working in a pharmacy. He slipped on a wet floor, causing him to fall backwards, strike his head on a counter, and land heavily on his back.
The impact of the accident was immediate and significant. Our client lost consciousness and experienced pain in his lower back and left wrist. In the weeks and months that followed, he continued to suffer from a range of symptoms, including migraines, nausea, blurred vision, and symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Due to the nature of his injuries, neurological investigations and specialist medical assessments were required.
Initially, liability for the accident was denied by our client’s employer. However, following further investigations, responsibility was ultimately admitted by the cleaning company responsible for maintaining the workplace.
The accident had a profound effect on our client’s life. In addition to suffering physical and psychological injuries, he experienced a loss of earnings and no longer felt able to return to his previous workplace following the incident.
To fully assess the extent of his injuries and losses, we secured expert evidence from an orthopaedic consultant, psychologist, and neurologist. This comprehensive approach ensured that every aspect of his claim was properly considered.
As a result of our work, we were able to secure an excellent settlement that reflected the impact the accident had on our client’s health, wellbeing, and future.
Our client was represented by Karen Mann, a Senior Associate in our Personal Injury Team. Karen is a highly committed Personal Injury Solicitor who focuses on rehabilitation and a collaborative approach with her opponents to secure the best outcome for her clients.
