£10,000 for slip/trip in the workplace

Miss T was injured at work when she slipped on an ‘oily’ spillage and hit the ground causing, amongst other more minor injuries, a sprained left wrist and psychological trauma.

Due to fears surrounding job security Miss T did not instruct Aston Knight until 3 months prior to the expiry of the 3-year statutory limitation period. Many solicitors would have declined instructions at such a late stage, but Aston Knight were not deterred and we got to work immediately.

Within 8 weeks of being instructed we received an admission of liability from the Defendant and an agreement to extend the statutory limitation period. This gave us more time to investigate Miss T’s injuries by arranging for her to be seen by an Orthopaedic Consultant and Psychologist.

The settlement of £10,000 was a great result for this client who, prior to instructing Aston Knight, had almost resigned herself to not making the claim through fear that it had become too late.

Client comment – Thank you for being so thorough with this as I appreciate the extended time between the injury and claim was fairly long.
